For a bit of fun, over the course of the next season, I want to run a league along side the real football leagues but with a slight twist. How it works. 1. Each person chooses 1 team (any team) from any of the top 4 leagues in England. 2. Each team can only be nominated once on a first come, first served basis 3. You can not change your team until the end of the season, ready for the next season (if it proves sucessful and/or worthwhile) 4. There are no prizes - it's for fun. 5. Only open to Norwich fans Only league games scores are counted, not cup games. Points system. As with the current leagues in England it's 3 points for a win 0 points for a defeat 1 point for a draw As their are only 20 teams in the Premier League, for this to work the fun league needs to be restricted to 20 teams and team will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Based on the chosen teams, a fixture list will be created where each team will play each other twice Each time a team plays, their score will be allocated to the team in this fun league (League games only). For example Wigan Ath v Norwich on the first day of the season. Real scoreline on the day is 2-2. Wigan would be credited with 2 goals as would Norwich However, in the fun league Wigan might be playing Wycombe! (if anyone chooses them) And Wycombe (if anyone chooses them) score 3 goals in their first game. The fun league result would then be Wycombe 3-2 Wigan Ath and Wycombe get the 3 points - Follow? It might get a bit messy around January when the FA Cup overlaps league games but it should not be too much of an issue. If a real game is postponed, those teams next league games will count in the fun league - still follow? I will post fixtures on each Friday on this forum. Updated results, and the league table will be posted the following Monday Hope you will have a go and support this effort. If interested please enter your chosen name by replying to this thread West Ham Utd is aleady taken by me Canary Dave, if the league takes off, could it be made a 'sticky' post?

Just trawled through and took a note of leading scorers from last season. Peterborough came up close, but because of fatty fry, they were delted from the equation. Have just sent you a message Thai.
Replied, get her to post it on here mate and I can add it. Needs to be shown here so others can see what is no longer available
ok, someone has snapped up the free scoring Canaries! Had a PM from someone having problems with replying on here. JuniorCanary - Norwich City is officially your team in the Fun League
ok, so you do not need to read and remember all of the thread so far, these are the teams already taken West Ham Utd - Thai Canary Blackpool - Canary Dave Birmingham City - Grantholtpremierleaguestriker Chesterfield - Maestro Norwich City - Junior Canary
Brilliant. I'm in a champions League place, and as an added bonus, 'daddy' is not getting beat!! For numerous glasses of Dave's Malt supply Thai, any chance of keeping the table like this at the end of the season?
I think the top 2 are good bets, not convinced the others will keep it up though! Can not join in the Whiskey posts, can't abide the stuff
AS Norwich have been taken, can I have the other team whose supporters can be seen wearing yellow & green scarves - Manchester United (after the glazer protest). P.S. I'll still be supporting the canaries in the prem when they play Man U, my loyalty does not change there
