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.

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

Aldershot - Aldershot Lion
Sheff Utd - Peckham Lion
Man City - Roy Lions
Sunderland - Connor
West Ham Utd - Showoff
Bournemouth - MillwallSteve

The league is now full, no more teams required (sorry)
