bad new Man City fans. I've just rebuilt my team around a core of City players.
wild card used and 7 transfers made! figured i may as well use it now before i lose interest in a few weeks whilst languishing at the bottom of the table!
Another barnstorming week of thrills 'n' spills, goals 'n' gaffes ... the B & B League rumbles on relentlessly, ebbing this way and that as the combatants slowly form themselves into a coherent league table.
Gamermike yet again manages to stay in top spot, despite another excellent week for Hylian Elf's Kokiri Rangers who move up into second position in the table. Elsewhere Calvinball continue their steady rise towards the summit, moving into third.
Frankly, it was a shite week for me. Bored already, I used up my wildcard, only to see my team become even more weakened.
East End Villians League Ranking:
Gamermike - 'Mad' Frankie Fraser
Guvnor of the old East End, Frank was a man you didn't mess with, if you knew what was good for you. He may have broken your legs, but he only did it for your own good. And he was always a gent to his old Mum, not like these two-bit slags today...
You could walk the streets in them days, if Frankie hadn't wrapped an ironbar 'round your head and turned you into a wheelchair-bound dribbling vegetable, and you could leave your door unlocked, so Frankie didn't have to bother breaking and entering. If he did, he'd probably go fucking radio rental and smash the whole gaff up. The streets were safer back then.
Later in life he cashed in on the Frankie Goes to Hollywood t-shirt craze with his own range of quality leisurewear, the 'Mad Frankie Says' collection. A lovely series of T-shirts with a few trademark Fraser witticisms on the front they sold well, especially down the market. E-bay is treasure trove of Mad Frankie merchandise including the classic "Relax you cunt, or I'll fill you in" white tee and the "Mad Frankie Says: I'm trying to have a quiet pint here and you give me all that blah, blah, blah. You fuckin' ponce" sweatshirt.
Frankly, none of this has much to do with Gamermike, who may or may not be a psychotic villain.
Hylian Elf - The Krays
Genuine British nutters and violent madmen, the Krays will always have a place in our hearts. In the 60's they ruled the streets of Old London Town with a rod of iron, shooting, slashin', murdering and twatting anyone who got in their way. Gawd bless 'em.
In a feature common to petty East End thugs, they loved their old Mum. Like Hylian, we presume. By that I mean he loves his own mother, not the Krays' mother. You don't want to be caught foolin' around with Ronnie and Reggie's Dear Old Mum - they'd fucking kill you. Anyway, nice lads apart from all the murders. They're both brown bread now.
Calvinball - Jack 'the Hat' McVitie
I'm running out of cockney material here. Jack the Hat was; like many East End thugs, a right hard bastard. I only know him by name, a bit like Calvinball, in that I can't remember which forumite is running the team.
Again, don't know much about 'the Hat' but I'm going to guess he was a bit of a rum 'un. He was murdered by Reggie Kray (again mirroring Calvinballs murder at the hands of Kokiri Rangers in the league table). We'll never know what Reggie said to him that fateful night but if you'll excuse me the flight of fantasy I'm going to guess it went something like this:
Reg: "You fucking two-bob cunt, wot you 'bin saying about my old Mum?"
Hat: "Leave it out Reg you fucking 'nana, all's I said was that she was a lovely old bird and I'd love to take her out for a nice cup of tea and a scone sometime"
Reg: "No-one speaks about my Dear Old Mum like that, you fackin' slag!"
*hail of gunfire*
The Rest of the forum - assorted thugs and lowlife vermin
"You mugs, you muppets, you slags! Think you can dispose Gamermike from the top of the table? You're havin' a giraffe!"
Can't believe I managed to stay top, I stupidly subbed Clyne and Mignolet because I thought Liverpool were going to get annihilated by Arsenal so missed out on some clean sheet points.
But you got points for Mignolet which is how you managed to stay top, I swear the website was showing as Rudd on the field on Sunday and I was like yessss he has Mignolet on the bench. Was that an auto sub because your other goalie didn't play or something?
You also had Mertesacker on the field but he seemed to have suddenly gone on bench.
