Thank you to everyone who took part this week.

All In was a fantastic ppv! It finished about an hour and a half ago as I type this but I'm still hyped from the show. Mariah May Vs Toni Storm was possibly one of the best if not the best women's match in company history and this storyline between the two of them is definitely the best in the women's division that they have ever done. Right outcome with Mariah winning the title as well. I enjoyed the four way tag team ladder match and the casino gauntlet match which featured the debut of Ricochet! Mercedes Mone Vs Britt Baker was probably the worst match of the night with an odd ending but it wasn't helped by taking place straight after the brilliant match between Will Ospreay and MJF. I was surprised the coffin match didn't go on for longer but the main event between Swerve and Danielson absolutely delivered, the drama and the in-ring action was top notch and finally Bryan Danielson is world champion in AEW. It will be interesting to see how long he holds the title for and who will eventually beat him for it.

Poor substitutions from Ten Hag today

I can think of at least 115 reasons why the past decade has been unfair......

There is a manager in the Head-to-Head league named 五条 悟 - 烏野高校 (which translates to Gojo Satoru - Karasuno High School). Don't know who that is but after yesterday's match they are currently whipping my ass with a 12-0 head start due to having 3 Man Utd players in their squad.

Thanks for clearing that up :) You got 4 points because you selected Alejandro Garnacho in your first team and he got those points according to how well he played in the match against Fulham in the eyes of the Premier League. The better a player performs in a match the higher amount of points he gets per match. Also the players who regularly perform well in matches tend to be the most expensive players to own in the game which makes it harder to have all the best players in your team at the same time. So all the individual points that players in your team earn are all added up per match and for the season as a whole.

Let's just end the season here. No need to play the other 379 games :lol:

Friday 16th August Manchester United 2-0 Fulham (20:00) Saturday 17th August Ipswich Town 0-3 Liverpool (12:30) Arsenal 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers Everton 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion Newcastle United 1-0 Southampton Nottingham Forest 0-0 AFC Bournemouth West Ham United 1-2 Aston Villa (17:30) Sunday 18th August Brentford 1-1 Crystal Palace (14:00) Chelsea 0-2 Manchester City (16:30) Monday 19th August Leicester City 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur (20:00)

Most of the manager names I recognise from last season so I can match them to their team names. "But Back Of The Neto" is that you Yobnedor? just for the purposes of posting the weekly results. As previously mentioned "Trojan Horse" in the Head-to-Head league is another that at the moment I would not be able to guess who on Buzzjack that belongs to. Also as I said in the opening post the main league will remain open for the whole season so you can join that as well if you wish :D

Pure Spanish dominance! Thanks for running this Pete.

1. Manchester City 2. Arsenal 3. Liverpool 4. Manchester United 5. Tottenham Hotspur 6. Chelsea 7. Aston Villa 8. Newcastle 9. West Ham 10. Crystal Palace 11. Fulham 12. Wolves 13. Everton 14. Brighton & Hove Albion 15. Bournemouth 16. Leicester City 17. Brentford 18. Nottingham Forest 19. Ipswich Town 20. Southampton Points total for the champions: 90 Top scorer: Erling Haaland Player of the year: Cole Palmer First manager to get sacked: Nuno Espirito Santo I think City will win the league again this season but this could be where the streak of Premier League titles comes to an end. Arsenal will be the nearly men again, Liverpool with a new manager will be hard to read but I've gone with them finishing 3rd and there should be a big improvement on last season for Man United. Tottenham and Chelsea wont be that different from last season but I'm expecting a big drop off for Aston Villa, I think they reached their ceiling last season and trying to juggle Champions League football with the league will take it's toll on them. For most of the teams from 8th downwards I don't think there will be much difference compared to last season but I think Brighton will struggle this season and their new manager will be under fire at some point during the season. I think Leicester will be the only newly promoted team that survives relegation and Nottingham Forest will go down after being close for the past two seasons. Hence why I've gone for Nuno to get sacked first. If Enzo Maresca lasts the whole season as Chelsea manager I will be amazed.

Looks like there could be the most participants in a few years which is good to see! Just to be clear my team name is Party Tricks FC, same as last season.

On demand services would be needed for the next two Olympic games for sure! I'm glad that the athletics will take place in week 1 at the 2028 games as that is by far my most anticipated event. I watched a tiny amount of the swimming during the 1st week but really I was just waiting for the track and field events to start. It was a lot of fun watching the athletics almost every evening and I watched it on Eurosport where it was pure 3 hour coverage of all the evening events. Certainly gonna miss that in these initial post Olympic days.

We actually played well in the match and had the better chances. We just threw it away in the 90 minutes and the penalty shootout. Still there were encouraging things to take away from the match.

A brand new season of fantasy football starts here! two leagues have been created, a main league based on overall fantasy points for the season and a head-to-head league which is based on individual gameweek scores between various competitors. Dobbo has won both leagues for the past 3 seasons but will anyone be able to stop him from making it 4 in a row? only one way to find out! The main league will remain open for anyone to join throughout the season, however for the head-to-head league you would need to enter your team before the Gameweek 1 deadline which is 18:30 UK time on Friday 16th August.

Would people be interested in new fantasy leagues for the 2024/25 season?

Apparently Noah Lyles has Covid and he knew before he took part in the 200 m final. That would explain why he was wearing a mask before the race and why he looked so worn out after it. He should not have taken part but the accolade of winning both the 100 & 200 m gold medals was too much of a temptation for him to resist and now this is where it has got him. Not even a silver medal in the 200 m either. After winning 3 gold medals in the World Championships in recent years Grant Holloway finally got his first Olympic gold medal in the Men's 110 m hurdles.

If only Hudson-Smith had looked to his right as he was approaching the finish line like some other athletes have done. He would have seen Quincy Hall emerging at the front and then he could have dipped his head quicker than Quincy did which could have made the difference. That was a nasty fall from the Ethiopian athlete in the Men's Steeplechase final, I hope he will make a full recovery but that is bound to haunt him for the next 4 years if not for the rest of his life as he was in a good position up to that point to be in the medals. The women's pole vault final was really competitive once the bar had been raised to 4.85. The top 3 all did impressively well and it's nice to see a 1st Olympic gold medal for Nina Kennedy.

No problem with Alvarez. Anything to make Man City weaker as a team gets a thumbs up from me!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Julian.
