This is what we are doing - discussing the music. It was a poor choice of words but there's no binfest here, all good.

No one's trying to turn it into a race thing.

Oh completely. I don't have any issue with Oasis having whatever line up they want. The gigs will be absolutely massive - was merely discussing my personal taste. "Aggressively white" was obviously too potentially loaded a term, and inappropriate.

Blimey. Didn't realise this would be taken quite so badly. Think I've been misunderstood here a little. Obviously it was a poor choice of words. There are plenty of white bands who play with swagger, style, swing etc. I mean more than I find a certain type of rock to be very bland and boring...

I'm more referring to the style of music really. Replace white with another word if it makes you feel more comfortable. Apologies if I offended you.

I'm talking about the entire potential line up most likely being fully white. I'm not suggesting any connotations of racism or anything like that - don't read into my post things I'm not saying. I didn't even say I don't like Oasis. I can recognise their talent and there are moments I like...

My feelings about Oasis have ebbed and flowed over the years. As a kid, they were always my older brother's music, his generation etc, so I didn't like it initially and got more into US rock as a youngster (Chili Peppers, RATM etc), it seemed much more interesting and exotic. Radiohead and...

Ahem, if you look back you'll see I was talking about Tim Krul, who did indeed leave shortly thereafter. As you were.

It can't be worse - last year was utterly ridiculous. However it definitely does seem like the sheer volume of games is taking it's toll across the league.

Again we have some people in the league pushing for legacy picks (ie being able to keep 1-3 players from your previous year) but we don't like the idea of someone having Haaland every single season.

Draft is a dirty word in our league - a couple of people pushed hard for us to do it this way - to MASSIVELY speed up the auction night, but others pushed back, even to the point of a couple of stalwarts threatening to leave the league if we went draft. It's massively geeky but we love the...

ROSTER baby

We used https://fantasyleague.com/ for 10 years but sadly it's completely fallen apart recently, they tried to bring in a new app/new website which was completely unusable. We've moved to https://www.fantrax.com/ which is FREE and endlessly customisable, even if a bit US-based in it's formatting.

By old school I also mean that this auction style one evolved from the original Fantasy League that was done through the Telegraph I think it was - and you'd be sent printed out league tables every month (think it was monthly, surely not weekly). Ah good times.

I'm curious if (m)any others in here still do the old school, auction style Fantasy League? I've been in a league with friends for 11 years and tbh would never switch it for the modern style FPL where everyone can own the same players.

To be fair, it did kinda feel like he never really arrived.

Agreed. That Liverpool side are very much underrated IMO.

He's also fit about 30% of the time.

Get help.

Having listened a couple more times and taken comments on board, I still lean towards “bitch” but can see it being “bad”. As others have said, who really cares. The rest of it is grim and ugly like everything else he says and does.
