There’s just a little time before the Fantasy deadline, so if you’re still pondering transfers, captain selection or even the order of your substitutes bench, then the Saturday Surgery chatroom is the place to go for immediate views and opinions from your Fantasy Football peers.
There’s no early kick-off today, so the Dugout Discussion will pop up just before the 3pm games with all the accompanying team news.
News reflects how messed up things are and how much appetite general public have for meaningless nonsense.
In a day when there was a potato famine in Mrs Rileys kitchen, a small boy lost his parents at a village fete for 23 minutes, there was a 48 miute delay on the N1 causing widespread disgruntlement, a belligerent 23 year old Irish man was caught masturbating outside the Nou Camp, a nation of 4.5million were getting on for a trillion euros in debt to other nations banks.
- Video coverage of Beckham arriving at the Royal wedding
- Discussion of the cake
- Discussion of her Dress
- Discussion regarding her courtesy to the Queen and what it symbolizes for the nation……
All reported more and read more.
Does anyone see anything wrong with this? Not to mention how outdated an elite monarchy is in 2011 in any country and what it did to be in power.
ps. Down with England, up with Barca, black is white, up is down.
dbr posted this earlier 😛
oh wait... 😳
"Not to mention how outdated an elite monarchy is in 2011 in any country and what it did to be in power."
Nail. Head.
Cheers bubbles
Am I alone in thinking the RAF are useless? All those planes yesterday, and they didn't nail a single German on the balcony.
i agree too. but while it is in power a royal wedding will be a big deal. the monarchy will peter out in it's own time
Why should people celebrate something that they dont agree with?
The monarchy wont peter out until people stand up against it and see the nonsense it is
Again your completely off the point.
If as Apple says I dont agree with them being in power - then celebrating the wedding is a contradiction.
Why sit back and let things you dont agree with persist.
The western world is a democratic society because people wanted it for obvious reasons. The monarchy in every country they are it the opposite of this.
Dont know where you got the word forced from....
i don't agree with gareth barry being in the england team. that's my opinion it doesn't mean next time i'm at wembley i'm going to take my sniper rifle and sort it out.
those who don't agree with it didn't celebrate it! (bangs head on table)
People do agree with it and that is why it is covered so much in the media.
Sweden for example is supposed to be a not very conservative country and the monarchy still has over 50% support here. The news just reflect that.
I think you're making a mistake trying to make 2 points in one discussion DB.
The news shouldnt reflect opinion. But importance. See my point on Gaga.
The popularity is also not worth taking at face value as the majority dont care so dont way up the contractions with such a system today. Nor know or care how they came to power and how wrong it is the live such an undeserved privileged life.
i'm guessing the thousands of people in london yesterday did believe in it.
your original point was bollocks, this shared the news with all the other world events, but on the day took the majority viewing (as tin of directors pointed out tv is also about demand, ignore this and a channel gets lower viewing figures, make less money etc etc). now the wedding is over it's back to other matters on the news.
i couldn't give a sh** about the wedding or the monarchy either but there are those who obviously do so the world goes on
YEAH BUT HOW IS DBORENALDO GONNA WATCH HIS TORNADOES ON TV??!??!?!!?
Explain THAT.
Abso-bloody-exactly!
it was a valid point (the monarchy outdated bit) made in a shitty way imo.
that's like me saying the internet should be shut down as i don't agree with pornography
a belligerent 23 year old Irish man was caught masturbating outside the Nou Camp
i may have just larted (almost sh** myself laughing)
Not to mention how outdated an elite monarchy is in 2011 in any country and what it did to be in power.”
Tbh the queen may have been one of the best monarchs britain has ever had. she didn't say anything if something went wrong, she never said anything when things went right.
the royals have no power, maybe a little veto here and there but we are basically a republic in everything but name
DENNIS: Oh king, eh, very nice. An' how'd you get that, eh? By exploitin' the workers -- by 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic an' social differences in our society! If there's ever going to be any progress--
WOMAN: Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh -- how d'you do?
ARTHUR: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Who's castle is that?
WOMAN: King of the who?
ARTHUR: The Britons.
WOMAN: Who are the Britons?
ARTHUR: Well, we all are. we're all Britons and I am your king.
WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN: Oh there you go, bringing class into it again.
DENNIS: That's what it's all about if only people would--
ARTHUR: Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
WOMAN: No one live there.
ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?
WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is?
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN: Well, 'ow did you become king then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,[angels sing] her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
2-2 adam 1 pen 1 assist, jones x2 please
Is Hoilett starting for Rovers?
roberts and benjani i think
My mate is Coleman Hangeland Dempsey and Jussi down already he is spitting feathers laughs.
Ah right, so Zamora is starting while Hangeland and Dempsey aren't. I guess those last two are injuries, but Mark Hughes is wumming me and I'm not happy about it.
Yeah he's a douche, he screwed me DGW 25 w/ Davies, and last week w/ Zamora...
Dempsey out Coleman benched FFS
bir lineup?
FFS Coleman sub, cheers Moyes you pointless piece of ginge.
Comes with the territory.
chin up. you buy a rotation threat this is what happens. this is what should have happened earlier in the season but coleman owners got jammy with injuries, so what ever points you were getting there you're now losing here.
karma justice
Dempsey completely out? Not on bench? O'hara off the bench for me isnt terrible, was umming and arring between the 2 anyway.
dempsey back problem
Did Beckham go for the smug Ballack hair look yesterday? :]
With Sturridge being a doubt ( and now out) the last thing I needed was the Dempsey news. With Valencia also unlikely to feature, it is looking like a 5-3-2 for me.
Serves me right for gambling on one of Valencia/Sturridge.
Keep an eye on Adam Johnson, could be a key guy for this and next gameweek ^_^)
Im suprised people have still got Coleman, hes been injured and on the fringe of the first team for a while.....
The sneaky little sod has managed a stay of execution in my team everytime for some reason. I swear he's going next GW, ha
I still have Kelly 🙁
Well he was a nice little cleansheet thief last week, and his role is one of more opportunity than the average 90 minute winger/defender get. He comes on at the 69 minute mark and it's up and down the pitch like basketball. goal scoring opportunities seem to fall in his lap. Not to mention cheap.
I'd liketo say it was inspired that I swapped Dempsey to Kuyt but I did it before mid week game and great points haul. Within 3 points of my league leader(who is an FFS member!) now after being nearly a 100 points behind a few weeks ago(I've won it the previous two years so reputation to uphold!!Could be close.
crap.
my transfer options were nani->silva, dempsey->yaya, or gyan->wingie. I picked the one that leaves me with gyan and dempsey on the bench and walker subbed in. Methinks unless silva goes bananas Im looking at a red arrow. 🙁
Any bets for today?
Put it this way: If every team in England scores today, I'm buying Paddy Power.
locarno's specials:
nani to be sh** 3/1
man utd to finish outside the top 4 2/1
locarno to post a pic up on ffs of a honey küchen today 1/4 favourite
Locarno being hit by a bus and reincarnated as a cat: 10/1

a 2 birds 1 stone post. have that in my accumulator 🙂
Coleman is the biggest gimp there is. When he's on my bench, he scores points, when i start him, he either gets 2 points, or is subbed early and gets 1 point, or doesn't start at all. Get out of my team!
Glad I sold him for my El capitano
Kolarov? I was going to do the same, but i was advised not to. It was good advice aswell as it would have been for a hit. I was certain Coleman was going to start today.
I was just fed up of Coleman, scoring on my bench and not in my team as you say, plus fixtures are poor!
He was going next week anyway. Issue i had this week was i could do Coleman to Kolarov but couldnt afford Coleman to lescott, which i will be able to do next week. Not sure on Richards and kolarov situation so would prefer Lescott for the DGW. Wish i had just done it now.
Lescott's probably the better bet, I wouldn't have had any real captain canditates without Koala so I just went him.
Somebody on here last night asked whether he should bench Coleman or Vidic. Everybody but me said Vidic.
Hopefully Nemanja will capitalise on Arsenal's shoddy defending and repay my faith.
Dempsey out - lovely. I missed the deadline and had Silva sat as first sub. I was due some luck.
gael kakuta to score the first goal of the day. closely followed by kenwyne jones
and then an odemwingie hattrick
Come on Blackpool! You can do it!!! Stay on the EPL. Blackpool got no $$$ but they have a lot of heart. They deserve 1+ year on the EPL.
