They tell me Bucky is best drunk while it's still young and fresh. i.e. gulped down as soon as it's opened.

Nope - meant I could crack open a case of Krug instead of the Bucky I feared I might need to share.

I have been doing my family history research and I have no cousins in the dark side that is the west.

So how come we were only second? Sounds like a sop to the poor trophyless north west!!

Toys on the ground beside the pram?

Thought Worrall R was always going to Newcy?

But I suspect man City can outspend Chelsea!! But nice to see the underdogs of Leicester at the top - a bit like the underdogs of Armadale. It's all down to team spirit.

And that's just the away matches!

He's a miserable sod is he?!!

Sounds like he reads the BSF and is having a laugh.

Good call Lioness!

No worries at all about the 5 named so far. The keys will be the 3 pointer and the final team member. Remember all 5 are championship winners!!

Musselburgh?

Same number as Bampot Barker and whoever rides with him.

And on and on and on you go. No Fish is not replacing Cookie. Smiler is replacing Cookie and everyone else is moving up. So Fish becomes 3rd heat leader. And since we had to lose 5 points off the team average how were we going to do this without the Somerset calculator? And even then that only goes up to 2 or occasionally 4. And Fish gets on great with the whole team and management and supporters. And as for decline - that's what they said about Super Agent Kevin when we signed him last season.

Not Armadale surely?

Spot on george. No need to be bitter though. Everyone knows you've got the fantasticist stadium in the world, just no trophies in the cabinet. But that's because you always play fairest. What is it they say about the east end - always cheated never defeated?

I think he'll cope. And thoroughly enjoy it!!

Mon the Fish! Can he do a Super Agent Kevin and put 2 points back on his average?

Reduce the limit just because you can't find a number 1? Really??!!!! Maybe a different balance to the team could have been considered or else a number 1 signed first rather than last?

Doesn't stop some posters repeating the same 2 names a hundred and fifty times though!!

Hell no. There'll be another 150 pages on this thread!!

Morris would miss a shed load of matches - maybe about 9?

Cookie & Sedgy only averaged a tad over 18 last season. The team finished about 5 points over the 42.5 limit. So we've had to cut our starting total by that 5. So cookie / Sedgy's average of 18+ less 5 gives the 13.7 or so which we have remaining. Would have been nice to have done like for like replacements and stay at 47.5 but rules is rules and we always follow them. The new team will be able to add sufficient points to their starting averages to make us the team to be feared as normal.
