As Mighty Millwall decided to heap the pressure on I'll post this on your board I am going to try and get this running on the Norwich board, as well as a few others and want to try it on here as well as there are plenty of fans here. 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 Millwall 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 would 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 Showoff, if the league takes off, could it be made a 'sticky' post? Any questions or suggestions to improve it are welcome So far the following teams have been chosen Millwall - Mightywall Bolton Wand - Millwall102 Arsenal - Jimmy Abdous Hip Fulham - Grant Don of the Den Blackpool - That Millwall Bloke Bradford City - Ringo Lion Brentford - McMillwall Swindon Town - TC Man Utd - It's Saturday on Cold Blow Lane AFC Wimbledon - Millwall Adam Huddersfield Town - Diamond Lion Liverpool - Lion From Birth Chelsea - MFC Lion Aldershot - Aldershot Lion Sheff Utd - Peckham Lion Man City - Roy Lions Sunderland - Connor West Ham Utd - Showoff Bournemouth - MillwallSteve Tottenham H - Eastupper17 Leicester City - Cunning The league is now full, no more teams required (sorry)
c'mon Lions, need another 19 of you! Sorry but this is not against Leeds, though I might introduce a cup knockout where you get the chance to kick their ass
Watford & Wycombe are showing a surprising unwillingness to take part, will get them to keep you company
