i go with the flow :D

more importantly, JFC had his first start (not off the bench)

cant understand some managers, they can train beastly players, but can not manage game shape for shit.. (and no i am not talking about bains, he cant do either....) :P

mediocre? average? game shape for U21???? WTF???

Even here. Look at the last round of games. Our side won 7/8, it isn't that our players are better, they are just better managed.

I have a few bids out at the moment, by Thursday I don't think you will recognise my team. It is funny players being so cheap especially when you don't need them long haul I could pick up 2 whole new teams easily.

some teams require their U21 stars to play heavy minutes to compete in their leagues. i know my bro has had trouble keeping his young blokes in good GS because he needs them every league game just to be competitive.

@ Hippo - i think you are exactly right. and i think our players gel a bit better than theirs, better secondaries and that stuff.

was that a hint on how much money you have there hippo

Maybe. It sure is a lot. I paid a fortune for my players. Sold them cheap. But now equal players are half the cost so I could get much better ones. Like I said I aimed for 7th this season but my $5k backup players keep on winning me games don't ask me how. How does a roster that is 3 PGs, a SG, a PF & some $5k backups keep winning? Don't let me make 4th for playoff time, I don't know if I'll be able to resist renting some guys to make a run :P

Yes I agree & those good players pay for themselves every week. I have a PG w 10 ID which no-one would suspect (ok till now lol) but he always does better than his salary suggests. It is a bit sad my team will be full of monoskill rentals (: but I only have 5 real players left Presley, Harris, Paki, Mouss & Diakite. The rest are cheap fillers or rentals who don't have great all round skills.

It would be really interesting to watch that final series mainly because I would love to see Hippos go, "Fuck it this is my season"

I miss being in such a competitive league. I just hope that when i promote next season that I get put into a Div III league that is not too hard so i can promote but competitive enough to keep me interested.

But as we have always said. The reason you barely ever see guys who win this league drop down back to Div III because the quality of the side that you need to be able to lift the flag at the end is alot higher then most of the bottom Div II sides.

Tills, I hope to stay up here myself and follow your lead, I think if we can make it here in this Div on the blue side, we will be so much stronger for it.

I agree. I think it's a lot better to be in one of these leagues so that when you do finally promote you're ready for Division II. Rather than stay up for a season and get your ass kicked before jumping back down to D III. I do however feel sorry for teams who get relegated from Div II into one of our leagues aka JBallers who couldn't promote last season and now has to rebuild this season (or at least he says he's rebuilding).
