The Peeps

Most of the shows I watch now are American. The last new show I watched was Archer and I just can't imagine anything like that being produced for British TV. The only thing I watch that's on British TV are the panel shows because they stay topical and they've developed a trend for edgy humour. Whenever we do get something decent it's too short. Sherlock is exactly the kind of programme we need. The writing and the style were great but we need to follow America's example and have shows like this on for longer. We're good at high quality in short bursts but although America has a lot of fodder, they can produce quality shows for longer. Look at Mad Men, Friends, Lost, Breaking Bad, Fringe, Chuck, House etc. That's just a list off the top of my head and each show has gone on for at least 5 seasons and they are all entirely different and original.

Get on the game people, we're still about!

Yeah why not, it's been a while :p

So is the new season going to begin on Tuesday? [edit] Just worked out what the AC stands for!! AntiClimax.

You need to rename your team, your players are too focussed on trying to figure out what the AC stands for

Randomly found this on youtube

Welcome back, I hope everything is as well as you say

Xpert Quick Beginner's Guide I just wanted to make sure the new guys know about how important it is to keep good form for your players and get high development values. Without high development values, your players will not increase in skill. Player Development The first thing you should look at for your players is age against skill. The average is 18-4 (to become 19-5, 20-6 etc as a baseline). If you have players below this average, they are probably not worth keeping on to train (but arguably once they get to 9/10 skill they're decent enough to keep around if it keeps your team balanced). Focus should always be on youth. Players also have special qualities which are explained @bob 's team[/b] It looks to me like your defence is in the worst shape as your only 'good' player is your 31-10. Obviously buying in players is expensive so you are going to be stuck with some players for a while but don't feel like you have to play them in games. If they aren't worth training, don't play them unless you have to. Goalkeepers - Personally I would keep your 25-7 and get a youth keeper in to train alongside him. Try and sell the 26-7 for a little bit of econ. Defence - I would keep the 31-10, 28-7 and 17-3 and replace the other two with youth - remembering the standard of 18-4. Either invest in the youth academy and wait (players from the youth team will already have a red heart which means your player is invested in the team and will perform better in matches), or buy some cheap players in the transfer market. Midfield - Ignore your older players. Your 22-6, 21-6 and 19-6 (especially him) are great so you should look for one or two high skilled players to help them train up. You can get cheap high skilled players if you look for players aged 30+ but be warned, players can retire at any age past 30 (but you will be warned the season before). Alternatively you could go for more youth and have a young and fairly low-skilled midfield but after a couple of good seasons they would be developed into a great team. Forwards - I'd keep the 30-9 and 21-6, the other two are not worth training. Get one more youth player and stick with just 3 forwards (you could even just stick with the two but obviously that would restrict you from certain formations). @dr4hkon 's team (please also read what I wrote for Bob as I mentioned a couple of things about youth and the transfer market) Goalkeepers - Neither of them are worth keeping imo. You should aim to get a good youth (17-4 / 18-4) and a high skilled keeper (30-9 or 10) from the transfer market. Defence - Pretty good defence here - youth especially. The two 24yr olds aren't great but the 24-6 may be worth keeping if you're going to be spending money elsewhere in your team. I'd probably keep it as is but replace the 24-5 with an 18-4 (or better if you can - 17-4 / 18-5). Midfield - Again not much you need to do. Do away with the 26-4 and maybe the 27-7 as well. Definitely focus on your younger players to raise their skill and gradually replace anyone that's falling behind with more youth. Forwards This is another weak area with no one really worth keeping. You can either go for all youth here and train them into a strong force, or go for a couple of young players and a high skilled one just to keep you competitive. Sorry if this post was a bit long but I hope you both read it (do we have any other new teams?) and hopefully a few other people can expand on what I've said here (or even refute anything I've said that may be wrong).

ReZ's animal magnetism strikes again...

Very interesting draw! The two strongest teams are playing away!

I looked to see if you had any upcoming matches :p you didn't!

Love is a feeling. You don't explain love, you feel it or you don't. Although that doesn't make for an interesting discussion. All of these things that people are saying... that isn't love. Love makes you do those things. Love causes you to want others to be happy even if it might mean your own misery. Love isn't wanting to be with someone forever, being in love makes you want to be with someone forever. Absence of love can be just as powerful. If you want to achieve love, you feel motivated to be a better 'you'. You work out, diet, study, dress well etc, all because you don't have love and you want it.

@Ellmeister, pretty sure I did get Dustin Brammer off you unless it's a massive coincidence. Did he sell for 2.9 mil? If so, Tales was right; the name and appearance did change on the transfer list. I've requested his original name as a sign of respect : peace:

All the ladies know about 'little Charlie'

oh that answers my question :p @Tales you busy? ;D

@heroicjanitor are you still in the cup? Fancy a friendly? I'll challenge or you can challenge, I don't mind. I'll get beaten either way I expect lol.

It was a good close game, I was expecting to lose though. I suck away :p

I didn't really read much after I was killed but I'm glad the town won. They were really slow in actually doing things which frustrated me so I decided to kick up some fuss even though I was neutral. I expect that's why the mafia decided to kill me. I should've stayed quiet like I first planned!

After what Tales said, I evaluated the 17-4s on the transfer list until I found one that was training cone and good at headers... so I think I'm the bidder lol His name and appearance was changed

Achievement Unlocked: Signed up to a Jonnas mafia

I don't know who it is, accept them anyway :p

Replied for sexual mars bars

I think that makes it harder for parents but any children in the department would just be running around looking at everything anyway, so in that respect it perhaps opens children to more options than they'd normally have. Instead of running around the boys or girls sections, they can run around the whole area.

Stupid Smellmeister

Is that Dustin Brammer? I'll take him :p what do you want for him?
