English Premier League idea

#5 Vertonghen for Belgium plays for Tottenham

Club Captain Ashley Williams inks a new 4 year deal, ending speculation that he may leave. The stars are aligning. #Swans

#5 Vertonghen for Belgium plays for Tottenham

He's a center back playing make shift left back for Belgium. He's gonna wish he stayed in waffle land when the buzz saw that is Burnley FC comes to town

Boom!! Welcome to the party Dawgowar, 6 new players have joined waiting on 14 more for a full draft. You have 16 of 19 odds you won't get a big four or you can dive on a grenade right now. (Grenade guarantees you it's not a top 4 but it also guarantees you it's a lesser known club). Staying in the draft is more fun though.

Let the dice roll - will take what I get. "Reporting' is a very broad brush....particularly if it involves Man Shitty or the Scousers

[Dawgowar]

Our biggest news so far is hiring Roy Keane as an assistant manager and Lerner selling the team. Puts Paul Lambert and Co. on a tight budget to buy players. Hope we keep Benteke or we will be seriously fukked this season and 100% fighting not to get relegated. Damn

Ah, Keano - just wish you could let him play again.

I'm loving the owners supporting their clubs by Avatar or Signature.



Or in my case, both.

Me too, it'd be great if all team owners can do this so everyone will know which team you have when you post. Thanks


For anyone wanting to be included we will hold another draft for team owners once I get 13 more names. We currently have 7 new owners waiting to find out their team so come on down and join the EPL party.

[smootness]

Done.

I've seen at least one report linking Matt Besler to QPR as well. That's all I've seen, but who knows.

Ok so I have a really stupid idea that could turn out to be very fun if I get enough participants. Here goes. It seems like we have a good amount of posters that would like to start following the EPL more and really have no clue which team is their favorite so I will assign you one team randomly through the draw of the hat. Each poster gets one team and your responsibility for your team is to keep up with them for this next season and give at least one post about their week. There are twenty teams in the EPL for this next season. Who wants in? I need 19 more names. These are the teams for this upcoming season.

Ok so this seems to be popular so far. We are taking names for the second draft. You will have a buddy to root with. I'll keep doing this as many times as demand warrants. 7 owners are currently waiting for 13 others to join for a full 2nd draft.

I am interested also, but I have been an Aston Villa fan for several years and would prefer to root for them instead of being assigned a random team. If that's cool then count me in.

@Dawg61 and other organizers, question:

What is the format of this? Are we going to start a new thread for each team? A thread for the whole thing seems like it would get pretty hard to keep up with.

Do you think they'd give us our own subforum so we don't dirty up the main forum? If not, should I set up a new board (I've hosted several boards before)?

My boys are going after Islam Slimani, the best player on the Algerian National Team. He scored twice in the World Cup and is only 26, so he has a bright future ahead. The Hammers are also signed 19 year old phenom Diego Poyet. We got him on a 4 year deal, so he can make his mark on the EPL while wearing the Claret and Blue. To sure up the defense, we went out and snatched up Aaron Cresswell from Ipswich. He's another young, talented guy to keep an eye on.

And here are a few of our chants. Like State fans, you can appreciate the love/hate relationship these guys have with their team.

^ Slimani was one of my favorite players from the WC this year

Alright!! SignalToNoise has joined the party, we need 12 more for a full 2nd draft. S2N you don't have to change allegiance we just ask you report something small about your drafted team each week.

[War Machine Dawg]

Damn, 2nd Draft is filling up fast. I honestly didn't think we'd even sniff another 20. This could be crazy fun.

Also, check out my new sig. The Tiiiiiigahhs have gone on a spending spree this offseason. Well.....a spending spree for them. We shall not be relegated!!

Gonna be a blood bath in here! Can't wait

[WeWillScrewItUp]

Go ahead and count me in for the 2nd draft. This looks like it could be fun

[CadaverDawg]

Pretty amazed at the amount of participants so far. Never would have guessed we'd have 1 full draft, much less 2. This is going to be fun.

One thread a week (Tuesdays?) Everyone give their updates there

Needs to be Thursdays or Fridays - too much happens between a Tuesday and Saturday/Sunday match days. Also, as season progresses with FA Cup matches, Champions League, Europa League etc there will be news on top of news.

Add to that Newcastle fans punching police horses, Arsenal-Totenham fans rioting, and things will get out of hand quickly.
