I Know The Score (Premier League guess the score game) 09/10 [R]

Thanks for drawing my attention to it. Both kicked!

 

It's usually a solid score, you've just started like a train this year. 80-90 a week over the whole season and you'd be in with a very good chance of winning going off the last two seasons. 70 is fine, especially if you're already top!

 

An excellent idea.

 

It does seem a bit;

admittedly.

However, it does make it more fun if we know the people we're competing against imo. Teasing those who you're beating, garnering sympathy from those who you're losing to, bragging or complaining in an environment where people know who you are is enjoyable. The banter throughout the season on this thread, or the league forum (if it was at all active) is what makes these kind of games for my money. As we're on the United board, and all reasonably familiar with each other it does make sense even if a small part of me feels tight for kicking people. They have public leagues on there, and unless the league forums have people posting in them, they must be boring as hell.

I can't say I'd mind posters from other boards who we 'know' in future as presumably they'd be happy to join in the shit-stirring in threads like this. That's for debate next time if I should start the league again. People indicated what they wanted this season so I'll stick with it.

As an aside to that, United fans, indicated by nothing but the badge next to their name that don't post on here aren't exactly ideal either for the banter stakes. At least with them, we can imagine a friendly rivalry of sorts and share a bond. If they lurked enough to get the code, maybe they lurk enough to recognise some of us, or read this thread and keep up with the smack talk and whinges. Btw, it'd be great if any of the regular lurkers who joined the league registered on Big Soccer and started posting on this thread, or the boards in general. I do think it's more enjoyable to know who we're playing against and we'd all be keen to hear your opinions on all-things United in the other threads.

Edit: That gives me an idea, time to bump the, "invitation for lurkers to de-lurk" thread.

Fans of other other teams, who we don't have a clue who they are reduce the enjoyment for me. One suggestion has been that people pm me for the league code next season. I guess one advantage would be that the players would at least all have to be Big Soccer members and whether United fans or not, they'd be 'known' to a degree by their posts on here which once again adds to the game (imo).
