This place doesn’t run itself you know. It takes a good number of people to put together its brand of misguided nonsense. Here’s your culprits…
Mark: It’s me. The Creator and Editor of this here blog/website/whatever you wish to call it. Just over three years ago I was looking for an excuse to build something on the internet and at the same time justify my obsessive hunger to painstakingly research every nuance of my fantasy football lineup. The logic was that if I published my worthless research on the internet, I’d no longer feel the need to bore people face to face. You’re reading the end result. I’m still boring people face to face.
Take up some more of Mark’s valuable time with an email….
Akers: The founder of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup, this guy seemed to have been hovering on the site for ages and developed this handy little habit of contributing knowledgeable and sound comments on a regular basis. In my head he was 46 with a beard, a pint of real ale and an Old Trafford size chip on his shoulder. He’s not, he’s in his early twenties and has no right to know as much about football as he does. Some men pay to be humiliated by twenty-somethings. When Akers thrashed us all in the first Chatroom football quiz, I really didn’t feel like paying for it.
There’s a danger that Akers will know too much about football by the time he’s thirty. Distract him by dropping him a mail…
Andy: The Overlord of the Scout Leagues, Andy has become a dependable “Mr Fix It” round these parts – jumping to plug the gaps when I get distracted by the trivialities of real life. Sadly he hasn’t quite read the script and, at the time of writing, is decimating myself and all the other contributors in the Fantasy Premier League and the I Know the Score Prediction games. He’s trying desperately not to gloat but I can tell it’s becoming a real struggle. Take his advice before mine. He’s been a lucky bugger so far.
He can’t keep it up all season. Find something wrong with Andy’s fantasy lineup and mail him to point it out…
Granville: My stoic podcast co-host drives me on to continue my fantasy football career by being one of the most opinionated football fans I’ve ever met. I’ll never tire of beating his fantasy lineup, although listening to him whine about all his bad luck on a weekly basis did lose its shine very quickly. That’s why we started the podcast; now you can all enjoy listening to his excuses.
Tell Granville to cheer up, there’s always next season…
Greek Fan: Busier than Nicklas Bendtner’s PR office, Greek Fan quickly revealed himself as a workaholic comment poster and quickly transferred that quality as a contributor to become a vital member of the team. The resident newshound, Greek Fan has succeeded in making Twitter useful, whilst maintaining the Injuries and Bans table and playing a big role in keeping all your Team News up to date. Greek Fan also does all our laundry and is Hull City’s groundsman. Probably. If he had the time.
Greek Fan might love his tweets but he’s never too busy to check his email…
I’m Not Marshal Foch: The mysterious Foch is currently taking time off from his Scout duties to investigate something he calls “a career”. We’ll let him off though, seeing as he boasts the reputation as one of the most renowned and amusing comment contributors that this site has ever had. Come back soon Foch. Pay cheques are overrated.
Encourage Foch to stop being selfish and abandon his career by dropping him a line…
Sir Paulos: A relatively newcomer to our thriving comment posting community, Sir Paulos quickly earned the reputation as one of the most respected voices on these pages. Luckily for us he also proved himself to be a damn good writer. Amongst his contributions on the site, he now spends his Sunday’s analysing key matches and turning his thoughts into words to bring us the brilliant Technical Area articles first thing on Mondays. Previously, Sir Paulos spent his Sunday evenings watching Antiques Roadshow, while we spent our Monday mornings sifting through our Viagra spam. It’s a win-win for us both. Who needs Viagra when we’ve got Sir Paulos and his chalkboards?
Let Sir Paulos know what he missed on Heartbeat last Sunday…
SUPERIOR BEING: Say hello to the Scout stats man. That means that 73% of the time Superior Being or SB is thinking about stats, using about 84% of his oversized brain. If ever we need know just how many times Morten-Gamst Pedersen has flattered to deceive, we just ask this man. Apparently he keeps a database which gives him all the answers. Although when we asked it why Rafa keeps picking Lucas, it crashed.
Superior Being’s inbox averages 23 emails a day. Be one of them…
