English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 1803 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

man, I'm finally getting around to watching sunderland/everton from earlier in the week, and god damn having 3 teams get relegated every year is genius.

as a Browns fan, it may not be as fun, but to have games that mean a LOT late in the season as a fan of a team that sucks is ****ing awesome...

Gg Derby, they didn't want promotion anyway.

Good to see Jason Shackell fully embracing the "Derby Way".

He was on Talksport the other day saying he wants to stay at Burnley. Would like him to stay as he's been excellent this season, but it looks like he wants a longer contract than we're prepared to offer.

I'm sure that with the new Premier League money, we could quite easily replace him with someone better and younger.

Also if he does leave, I can go back to hating the little scrote again.

When I read articles on things like the man city academy and how they go so far above and beyond to take care of their academy players it pisses me off looking at the US system by comparison.

(Sorry for the rant)

no need to apologize to me, I agree with everything you just said.

only thing our football structure encourages is parity. the Browns are by most measures likely to be the worst team next year, and yet the odds of them winning the super bowl are 10x better than Leicester...

If there were playoffs in epl same **** would happen, also a product of unbalanced schedules. Look at records, same teams tend to be the best.

Not been confirmed by the club but very reliable West Ham source. Hasn't traveled to Stoke.

I've offered consty money for early updates on pool lineups in certain weekends. The payet injury has been pretty widely reported so that info isn't as valuable as a teams full lu on a week where they are rotating heavily and there isn't good info elsewhere.

So ead. I typically don't ask people to do **** for me without offering something in return.

Suckered me into depositing at mondogoal which is an absolutely awful dfs site with a promise of a blog with spreadsheets and weekly picks so essentially fantasy advice to get started then said he can't give free advice after I deposited. Quality con and I got got

yeah i remember him spamming a mondogoal referral link all over the forum

seems weird that a guy claiming to pull in hundreds of thousands of $ through dfs would need to supplement that by having a few people click a referral link but hey it takes all sorts

I'd be astonished if either Sturridge, Firmino or Coutinho set foot on the pitch tomorrow.

Of course a plop win would cost me $100, so they'll still win.

Sry LO - just resign yourself to the -$100 imo

West Brom are winless in eight league games (D3, L5).
The Baggies have lost their last three home games without scoring.
They have won just one of their nine previous Premier League matches on the final day of the season (D5, L3).
Albion have had 106 shots on target in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other team.
