As you may have seen earlier in the week, weโ€™re now at a stage where we can begin testing a beta version of HomeCrowd comments, our new comments system, with some members of the community.

For this first phase weโ€™re looking for a very small group of testers to ensure that we find any early compatibility issues on browsers and devices with the current steup, try out some of the basic functionality and to collect some early feedback and ideas.

This first version has very few bells and whistles aside from the ability to vote on comments, sticky comments, sort comments by rating and the addition of inline moderation tools. The latter will enable us to recruit moderators from the community for the first time and weโ€™ll be testing this out with some of our volunteers on this first phase.

On the whole, HomeCrowd currently resembles the current version very closely โ€“ that is intentional for the first iteration. Those who help us out with some testing will get some further insight into the system and future ideas before it goes live, however.

If youโ€™d be interested in helping us with this testing, please email us at homecrowd@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk with your username used on the site, your browser and device youโ€™d be using to test the site and the hours youโ€™d be around to help test.

All being well, weโ€™ll get invites out and begin the first round of tests on Sunday.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    So do I scrap my plans to get rid of Michu, just get Cazorla in for Walcott and hope for the best?

    Maybe it's worth giving Michu one last shot...he is better at home after all.

                    I'd like to talk about the difference between having opinions and executing a campaign to undermine what other people are clearly enjoying. I've said plenty about why and how your claims of stereotyping and divisiveness were misguided. But that's just a difference of opinion. What bothers me more is that on a site like this objecters and complainers can potentially wield a disproportionate amount of power, because those who run the site understandably want to appease those who are unhappy. There is nothing wrong with this if people limit themselves to complaining about offenses to themselves. If they do that the suppression of allegedly offensive activity will be proportionate to the numbers of those offended and the degree of offense. But when one person goes out of his way repeatedly to complain and disrupt, he gains a disproportionate voice. I believe you did that, and managed to impose your fringe views on a community that was enjoying some harmless fun. When your ox is gored, by all means complain. But you have no right to badger the moderators into shutting down activities that do no more than run afoul of your hightened sensitivities about allleged wrongs that do not apply to you and which you misunderstand.

              Would you bring him back in for the dgw? If it looks like he is only missing one game, and the next week will hopefully shed more light, then I'm going to hold onto Walcott. I already did Michu -> Cazorla last week to pick up price changes, taking a gamble on international injuries which may not have paid off.

              If he is out longer then a straight swap for Cazorla would make sense.

    I have been lucky enough to get 3 tickets for the Liv-Eve Derby for Saturday May 4th @ 15:00

    This will be my first game and more importantly my sons 21st birthday present and being a newbie to travelling over to a match I would like to ask some questions.

    Is is likely that the game will be moved either by kick-off time or day ?
    If so when is it likely to be confirmed and where can I get the info?
    Any recommendations on where to stay in Liverpool?

    I need to book flight sooner rather than later so any help would be appreciated

        I may just have to go ahead and book flights to arrive Friday and depart Sunday night.

        Surely it wouldn't move to the Monday ????????

        Is there any way of confirming the game scheduled details. ???

          No, sky will want to see if other matches have more importance , but I think you can plan based on it being moved. Monday is a possibility, but maybe some way of checking number of games tv have right to and number left to show. Only other thing is explain your situation in email to sky n espn, but likely to get non committal answer

            Not sure I know what makes the mods take action. What I know is that this guy repeated his complaints in the comments over and over, and would not let the matter drop. I have heard that he also made several complaints directly to the mods but I do not know that for certain. In my view, if even one person makes a complaint that they are offended, that might justify clamping down on the offense. It all depends on the nature of the offense. I am just taking issue with this guy's open campaign to shut down what most saw as harmless fun, when he was not himself affected by it (other than intellectually).

      Sweden were shockingly poor, when Zlatan doesn't get a kick they just look completely mediocre... Always wonder where the goals are going to come from for us though, set plays are pretty much our only hope at the moment..

        Tactically outdone by Trap, I say that very reluctantly but he really did one over on them tonight.
        Few more decent final balls around the box and we were going home 2-0 winners.
        The free kick/long ball has to go tho, it does us no good, OK if we need a breather and want to press for a bit but tonight we were the better team with the ball, how often can you say that about an Irish team?

    Ok so I've done some research on the extent of groin injuries as I have no life. ๐Ÿ˜€

    The worst groin/pelvis injury this season happened to Michel Vorm against City when he pulled something badly when trying to save Tevez's shot. That kept him out for months.

    Obviously what happened to Walcott isn't as bad as that. Well it doesn't appear to be.

    The 7-10 day thing is about right going by most groin/pelvic injuries that have occurred this season.

    A few cases are players that injured their groin/pelvis during matches and returned the next game: Davide Santon, Cabaye, Ruiz, George McCartney and Winston Reid.

    Bryan Ruiz missed a game early on in the season against Villa because of a groin/pevlis injury and was out for about 2 weeks.

    George McCartney, Davide Santon, Cabaye and Winston Reid all came off during matches but returned to play 90 minutes 7 days later.

    So there is 7 days until Arsenal's match against Reading. I'd say it is touch and go for Walcott depending on the severity. Judging by other guys with similar injuries it looks like it COULD be the type of injury you could run off and be able to cope with. But if it's badly strained then it might be worrying and will require more attention.

    Either way, as soon as he informed the coaching staff that he felt a strain in his groin then there was no way they were going to risk him in two internationals in 4 days.

    Will be interesting to hear more reports.

                    If draw was done tomorrow, you'd miss out. Don't know where the final cutoff is until GW31 is over but you need to enter before GW31 to have a chance of qualifying. Another green arrow may be enough.

                    He would need a big green arrow to be Elite. You probably need to crack 800 to have a chance.

      Fox has two channels that each carry three or four games a weekend, but it's only available by subscription through cable or satellite. Fox Soccer 2 go carries additional EPL games, but again its a subscription and only available through computer. ESPN2 and 3 sometimes carry EPL games for free. Watch ESPN also sometimes have EPL games for free over computer.

      We actually have more EPL games available than MSL.

        How can we be sure it's not just one of those "international" injuries?

        It would make my captain choice a whole lot more difficult next week if he was out... ๐Ÿ˜•

          Well it's certainly got substance to it. He pulled his groin or has a pelvic tear. He is touch and go to make Reading.

          I'm half thinking of selling for Cazorla now with the doubt and getting him back later.

          Think I'll captain Suarez, Bale or Cazorla

    I really hope Puncheon regains his place somehow this week. He really was an excellent 5th midfielder. Just looked at Chris Glover's new blog post and it shows that Puncheon was equal with Lambert for SIB (shots in box) home AND away for the season. It's just hard to see who would drop out of Ramirez/Lallana and JRod...

        As for the previous seasons They were well fought after but this season I've genuinely done absolutely f all

        Last season was much trickier In my honest opinion this year rather smooth sailing + I've been far busier all good though
