Sorry for the delay in updating the main page, i've been away for a few days. Some good picks, I didn't think my decision to draft Carlos would need explaining, but like somebody said, Paolo Maldini had gone, and left back isn't exactly a position where a million players have made it their own. Good calls with the keepers too.. I felt Buffon is possibly even underrated, most likely one of the top five keepers who will be drafted here. It's interesting looking on at some peoples picks, King & Huss taking only Man United players so far, Gert taking Ronaldo and Romario with their leading the Brazil front line, Ron taking Ronaldinho and Henry, both of Barcelona, UndertakerHart taking former Madrid midfielders Zidane and Beckham, Eskimo basing his success on defence by taking two of the games all time great defenders.. some of these may be coincidence, but it's fun to look on and see what people are doing.

Nope, you picked right, I was going to take him next. Just because he's playing today and not 20 years ago doesn't mean he's any less of a player than blank, or Maradona, or anybody else. It plagues all English fans, and probably including United fans now too, to say this, but the boy is just the best in the world right now.

Hey guys.. sorry for holding you all up, I didn't think my go would come around this quickly. I need me some Rumble viewing.. So I take the 2000 edition, won by the Great One himself, The Rock. Royal Rumble 2000 - Rumble match

Nice. Now, let's see who Huss puts with George Best. I'm going to be away until late, late Tuesday/early Wednesday morning with my ladyfriend, so the first page won't be updated until then, but i'll sort it out as soon as I get back. I've mailed dean about six picks or so for me, they shouldn't all go by the time my third pick comes.

What a partnership he'll form in front of Platini. Good pick champ.

Gert T Ronaldo (8) Romario (19) Awesome.

Good picks guys.. it's good to see everybody putting midfield and defence partnerships together. Henry & Ronaldinho Zidane & Beckham Moore & Maldini Looking good guys.

The Roots Genoa of the football draft!

Just think, blank was being considered just as much as blank This is true.

909, you wanted the honey monster?

Alright, there's only one pick between now and him, so i'll pm you his top two and you can pick for him, if you don't mind.

Right, i'm going away for a couple of days tomorrow, I've got a pick to post on Mysterio Eskimo's behalf, is anybody going to be around at 11am when his pick is eligible?

Yeah, I think we should leave it until the very last round, or we could pick them whenever we want? I mean, more chance of getting a world class manager in round 4 than round 14. It just depends on how everybody wants to do this really.

Although don't name drop blank, there's still a 'manager's round to pick!'

Oh, that's a debate and a half. It pains me so much to watch our national team do so poorly. Can you imagine Brazil or Argentina losing the qualifying group we've just had?

As apposed to what?

Yeah. The week before the PPV. Someone will probably explain why, I don't know myself.

Doesn't this thread point to how amazing a manager Blanky Blank is? Got him at the right time, got rid at the right time.

You know what friend, you bring up a good point. It wasn't until Wenger moved him from the left wing to a forwards position that we got to see the best of Henry. I see i've only seen the brilliance of Henry & not, as you say, the flop that he could be. that 2002 was a balls up, though.

I know, earlier, when discussion the French dream midfield of Platini, Cantona, and blank. Blank could be anybody! It could even be blank!

edit: As 909 says, ignore everything I just wrote here. Double edit: Not that I neccesarily agree with the Bergkamp being better bit.

Finest Arsenal player in my opinion, ever.

Trying to recreate Barcelona!

No, there's no woman in the world that is uglier than this piece of shit.

Yeah i'd had Norton on my radar for a few rounds now, I wish i'd jumped the gun.
