Fantasy Footbal 2008/9

As the pitiful English summer continues it's grey, cool and rainy ways, we finally see a shard of light appear. Yes, the football season is now only four weeks away, a bit longer for the Premier League, as all those over paid thespians need an extra week to practise their dying swan technique. This means that the Bendership will also be kicking off, and you can register your teams now at the Sun Dream team homepage. Anybody who needs the codes to enter the mini league please contact me, although I think I have sent one out to everybody. Last years winner, Big John, will be trying to repeat his first year fluke, with bitter rivals Funky and Euro Bri hoping to improve on their second and third place finishes, although I report with relish the fact that Funky also finished in last place. Previous winners, Lobon and Shouty will no doubt be hoping to be the first players to repeat as champion. The Duke will be fancying a tilt at the title, as will Crespo, who always thinks he picks a good side, but usually ends up with eleven dog turds. Hopefully we will come up with some kind of trophy, but seeing as we are a bunch of slack arses, I doubt it.
