Offer a packet of twiglets

If anyone still has any of these voucher I know a guy who'd love for his finals to drop by about 5 points a piece.

Will Hughes, are Derby actually having a laugh in this game? Every time you try to sign him, they want something like 35 million.

[Gazz]

I signed him for £4.5m and then sold him on to Man City for £32.5m.

And then didn't complete the Pentagon.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

It's like 22 million up front followed by like 5 million over 12 months, sometimes!

Jesus Christ Blackburn ran away with promotion. I came 2nd and they were 20 points ahead by the end of the season. We need to do a LOT of squad building before the season starts, because I feel like I got very lucky to get promoted in 2nd, and we won't be good enough in the league. Signed Tom Ince for a cool £5m as my big signing, as we're weak out left on attack, plus a load of freebies who were all ranked 4* or above by all my scouts. Particularly interested to see how my keeper plays as Kasper just didn't cut it when it came to one-on-ones last season.

Also, does anyone know how to set up an online game? Thought it might be interesting if we set up a game with a few of us during the real football off-season.

Jesus Christ Blackburn ran away with promotion.

Well of course.

[Benji]

They lost their first Prem game 4-0... against play off winners Notts Forest

[9 to 5]

Banned.

Also, online games are pretty easy to set up.

[Gazz]

It is

Search for 'EWB FM' and let's battle for Championship glory.

Password is 'ewb'.

[Benji]

Do we have to play all at once, or can we be on at different times?

[Baddar]

It's all at once, from what I can remember.

If the host is logged on, you can join too, but can't advance until he does.

[Benji]

Ah cool, I just though the way Gazz had noted that it somehow kept moving even when others weren't online >_>

[Baddar]

I think attempting a net game with more than two people is a big ask. I managed one which lasted almost a full season on 2013 with Ant, and it was fun. The difficulty is obviously getting the two of you to commit to playing at times that suit both. It's not easy at all. I think we played for an hour or so on weekday evenings.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

I'd well be up for that!

[Benji]

I was just thinking maybe just using the real off-season to play a group game on weekends, maybe Saturday night for an hour or three at a time.

Stupid weekends.

Skype chat, motherhubbers! Weekends would be best.
