I take your points about the 'maxxi's and retract my initial query. Not likely to happen anyway. I would argur though that the <75% ers should be shown lower in the table than others who have less points. For e.g El Pibe can not longer reach the magical 75% as there are not enough weeks left. Don't mind me though. I just like rules.


As for the Cup, I still don't get that. If you only have 8 entries and have 8 q/finalists, everyone qualifies and makes the 3rd,4th and 5th rounds of the cup pointless. I know someone will tell me what I've missed.

The only challenge you might have is if those who can't hit the magic 75% lose interest :(


The option's still open to multiply final score (not including maxxis) by percentage of games played, even if it drives Jah wild.


I wish I could play but I know sweet fanny adams about football.

I would need to go back and look at what was exactly said about the 75% rule. I do know that you needed 75% as an incentive to take part in the Cups, but that has since changed.

You have to remember this wasn't plannned, it just sort of evolved. The maxxi only came about because people joined later than others. Next season, if it's retained, the maxxi will be adjusted to take into account average scores over the whole of this season.

Hopefully next season it will be a lot simpler and clearer, especially as everyone will start at the same time.



Actually you're right, if there were only 8 teams the earlier rounds would be dead ducks. I should've said we need at least 9 teams. Luckily we have at least 9 teams, as ???? will be joining in, so at least one person will get eliminated...

Don't worry H, out of curiosity I'm going to apply the Huggy Quotient at the end of the season...although, depending on the outcome, I reserve the right to withhold publication ;-)

I think you'll find most of the British/Asian kids in the East End have got hair just like that.

Their loss our gain. Please let it happen.

I just hope while he's on loan he proves everyone wrong and manages to change his name from "Oh-no-he's-bringing-on-bloody-Chamakh!" to something a little more positive.


Personally I have more hope for the young Waterford striker, Sean Maguire (no, not the Eastenders actor) working his way into the first team.

      Cyclists be careful

      By malumbu · Posted

      A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.

      Sorry, I really don't mean to be insensitive, but why would someone run from police?
