*NEW GAME LMS, starting March 26th* (English Football)

[roseboy64]

United to win.

 

[luffy]

Chelsea over Newcastle please.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

What's happened to Weymouth then?

 

[pinchy81]

Oxford Utd v Histon

What's happened to Weymouth then?

Financially wiped-out. £500k in debt (which is massive at that level), first team players not paid for four months and left without medical insurance, so were given the right to leave the club, which most (understandably) exercised. Since then they've been soldiering on with their Under-17s and a few has-beens as their starting XI. Lost nine now (IIRC) on the bounce.

 

[Johnners]

Eastbourne Borough

 

[fredfertang]

Arsenal to beat Man City

 

[alternative]

Chelsea.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lie-sester to beat Carlisle for me.

Playful nudges in the ribs to 99*, SKD & saggers too.

****. They were on the up-and-up when I left the UK. I occasionally went to Weymouth for work and was a bit surprised that such a dead end town could support even a Vauxhall Conference team. I think Steve Claridge was coach at the time.

MK Dons

 

[pasag]

Man United

 

[Simon]

Leicester to beat Carlisle, Leicester dudded me in the last comp of LMS, hopefully not this time.

They are officially dead to me.

 

[roseboy64]

[Nate]

Pretty amazing way to do it eh? Inspired selection from Fergs.

Think it's called "living well beyond your means". Horrible boardroom backbiting and infighting, too. Can see meltdown at the end of the season and Western League next season.

Shocked I got through the second round, tbh.
