Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
As far as the fantasy football goes the third group games have gone pretty shitty with the majority of us with players who’s teams have already qualified like Portugal , Holland and Spain.
The quaters if unlimited transfers and 10 million extra so we’ll probably have near enough the majority of the same players , guess its gonna come down to who picks the right captain.

Re: England Supports Holland on 2008 football championship in Chit-Chat
Well yes , I wasn’t too sure that Holland could do it again but wow I was proven wrong they were immense , It was probably the best game i’ve possibly ever watched and im really serious about that I actually stood up and clapped when Sneijders goal went in.
What is it like out in the netherlands at the moment Punkwank? I went to Amsterdam last year on football tour during the gay pride festival and I thought that was mental.

It was on last night on film4 as was This is England , both great films that i’ve liked for a good while. There two of the very few films of the last 8 or so years that i’ve actually liked.

Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Well Spain looked good , comfortable win and they didn’t play to there best I don’t think. Sweeden deserved there win , Greece were woefull.
So for Spain and Holland have played the best , I think Portugal and Germany will improve as the tournament goes on.
Btw has anyone used a wild card yet ? Can anyone give me any info on how it works please ? Cheers

Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
WOW well I wasn’t quite expecting that. Holland were great , the two counter attack goals were brilliant. I even thought Italy played quite well , didn’t really deserve to lose 3-0 but can’t take anything away from the dutch they were fantastic.
What a comparisson from the France game to this one , one of the worst games i’ve ever watched to one of the best.
I’d still like to see Italy go through from the group , they should beat Romania next. And now I hope Holland stuff France.
Looking forward to seeing Spain tommorow, hope they play good attacking football like the dutch.
Posted on Mon, 9 June 2008 at 20:45
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
No don’t think so , which is nice.
Well that was the most boring game I have ever watched , and I’m a Liverpool fan. France playing two defencive midfilders , even in the last 10 minutes. They looked too scared to try and win , and well Romania have got a draw against the french they’re happy. I still won’t right off france completley yet , Hopefully Italy will do the business later.
Posted on Mon, 9 June 2008 at 18:09
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Stranger things have happened. I guess we’ll find out what Romania are gonna be like in a short while.
I’ve got money on italy and france to win the tournament so I guess i’m hoping for a good start from both. I’m leaning towards the italians though. :)
Posted on Mon, 9 June 2008 at 14:35
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
You never know with the Dutch they could pull something out of the bag , they have got alot of attacking talent. And they are being too overlooked in my opinion on there day they could end up beating anyone.
Posted on Mon, 9 June 2008 at 14:21
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Dermot , you can make transfers now , I’ve already made 3 and they start in the 2nd game of the group stage.
I think France will win tonight , and Italy , the dutch look very shakey at the back and they’ve got lots of injuries.

Re: What’s EveryOne watching in Chit-Chat
Haha yeah that line was great.
Thank God I start working within the next few weeks as I’d probably watch it way too much.
That Stallone look alike is trying his best to win people around by always helping the blind lad, he’ll be out pretty soonish probably.

Re: What’s EveryOne watching in Chit-Chat
Kind of been watching Big brother when the football hasnt been on and I pretty much can’t stand any of them that are in there so far.
No offence to anyone who is albino or knows someone who is but that guy in there looks scary.

Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Ahh I wasn’t confused about the confirmation thingy … just this line , These transfers will be active for Group Stage 2 as long as they are confirmed by 11 Jun 18:00 CET.
I just wasn’t sure if I did make the transfers that it would be as you said and they’d come through at the later stages or just the next group game.
The only thing is Di Natale as I would then have 2 French , 1 Dutch and 1 Italian… one or possibly 2/3 has to go.

Congrats Gav :). Hope all is well in the future. Good luck.
This message board is THE best of all time :D.

Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Confirm transfers
Please confirm that you want to make the following transfers:
Schweinsteiger replaced by João Moutinho
Koller replaced by Podolski
Olić replaced by Di Natale
After making these transfers you’ll have 1 transfers remaining this Matchday.
These transfers will be active for Group Stage 2 as long as they are confirmed by 11 Jun 18:00 CET.
*Is confused*

Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
@ Butters , Unfortuantley I can’t give you that answer. I had him in my team and was put off by newspapers and some websites saying that Abidal is more likely to start , which I can’t believe. I put Thuram in instead as i’m pretty sure he’s gonna start and costs the same.
And yep I agree klose looked scared of scoring , the fans loved him though , I could hear them chanting his name many times.
Posted on Sun, 8 June 2008 at 21:05
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
It appears you can make 4 transfers without losing any points I think. So i’ve made 3 lol , I may regret this.
Got rid of Schweinsteiger , Koller and Olic. Brought in João Moutinho, Podolski (You could see that one yeah?) and Di Natale.
Posted on Sun, 8 June 2008 at 21:01
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Yeah mine (defence) too Butters. But Klose did get me a nice 16 points atm as hes my captain. He should have really taken the first chance for himself. And I can’t believe he’s been credited with the assist for the 2nd goal haha , what a pass :P.
Posted on Sun, 8 June 2008 at 20:46
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
The Germans looked decent , they’ll probably get stronger as the group goes on.
I already want to make changes to my side lol , Schweinsteiger didn’t even start and then he got booked. Jan Koller yesturday did nothing for me at all , hes starting to get on a bit and the Cechz don’t look to great.
You watch if I transfer both they’ll end up being great the rest of the tournament.

Re: What’s EveryOne Listening To in Other Bands & Artists
I quite like the latest Coldplay song Violent Hill, pretty good. May have to have a sneaky download of the album.
Posted on Sun, 8 June 2008 at 18:15
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Austria were quite unlucky weren’t they? Croatia first half looked pretty decent but they totally run out of steam the last 20 or so.
I was reading the paper yesturday and 6 out of 11 footie pudits said the Croats would make the final four just cause they beat England twice, no chance from that display.
Modric looked alright first half , 16 million for him though ? Olic also looked good first half but run out of steam , he reminds me of Dirk Kuyt but with a worse goal record.
I hope the Germany game is better , hopefully a few more goals.
Posted on Sun, 8 June 2008 at 18:12
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Just had check and some guy or gal had 50 points , thats mad. Pepe as captain what a guess that was.
First two games were ok , Portuagal looked good. The Checz looked average but then again could be first game nerves but without Rosicky and Nedved they don’t offer much , The Swiss were a bit unlucky and played ok I though.
Germany and Croatia will probably both win tonight.
I managed to draw Italy in the pub sweep aswell , so i’m quite happy with that.
Posted on Sun, 8 June 2008 at 15:41
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Just a few last minute changes… couldnt help myself. I transfered Senderos for a cheaper sweedish defender so I could get Carvalho rather than Mellberg, I figured that senderos will only be on my bench anyway and even if he gets automatically subbed he’d probably cost me points as I think the Swiss might concede a few as they haven’t played a competetive game in nearly two years.
I would have rathered Mertersaker or Metzelder than Carvalho but unfortunatley the only two players from each team rule come in :(.
Am I taking this way too seriously ? :D
Posted on Fri, 6 June 2008 at 22:48
Re: fantasy euro 2008 in Chit-Chat
Thats actually still a really good team , only your russian forward i’ve never seen play. The rest are all good players.

Re: What’s EveryOne watching in Chit-Chat
Would it be extremely wrong for me to probably watch Big Brother tonight ?… Waits for the bashing to commence.
(Realises that he’ll be out tonight so may get someone to record it) Oh my … that is sad.
