- Thread starter Moby
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
So true.Humm
You can already create a thread for the 1st game and then ask a mod to put in place a poll.

This thread is hilarious. Everyone complaining but no one wanting to take the initiative. Fell apart without Aldo.
Don't think the matches would've worked anyway. The line ups, match ups, changes/subs, time outs and all of that kinda stuff is too important in a basketball game.
It's not like a football or cricket draft, where it's mostly about the quality of players on the pitch.
I only signed up to pick weird players and make Aldo cry then once he left I just kind of went along with it.
Agree there,constant changes/bench players getting in and discussion based on it would be difficult.
I'd like this to go ahead, be good reading
I don't think it's that big an issue, you're still arguing your teams strengths and the oppositions weakness and match ups
If you've a good bench that's a straight forward plus
If the opponents centre is a notorious lazy feck and gets in foul trouble that's s other argument you use
If you have a top clutch player that's another etc
Get it going fellas
All done @RDCR07
Thanks buddy.
Are we doing reinforcements and the like here?
I have to check in at least once a month. I'll be back after the next roundHi
What are you doing here?
Good. Luck for. Your rest of the matches.
There's no mention of how reinforcements are to be handled in the OP. Was it decided at any point?
You could do something like that:
- Round reinforcements will consist of 2 picks per team and will be conducted in the reverse order of the initial format or via a draw
- The Reinforcements pool will consist of all players from the losing teams
- Round reinforcements will consist of 2 picks per team and will be conducted in the reverse order of the initial format or via a draw
- The Reinforcements pool will consist of all players from the losing teams
Yeah that sounds reasonable.
Right let's get the ball rolling on the reinforcement round. We will be doing this:
I think reverse order is fair but might be biased as that would give us first pick. If the rest think we should do a draw, I'm up for it. Otherwise pick order is
1. MJJ
2. Eboue
3. NM
4. Skizzo
@MJJ @Eboue @NM @Skizzo are the remaining teams I believe.

Why re-draw? just go in reverse order, that's how every draft here are played isn't?

I'll take lebron
Anyone around to take my picks in case I'm gone before NM picks?
moi
By the way, I personally think 2 reinforcements is ridiculous. It's 40% of the team. Should be 1 in each round.
I agree with that. We could potentially stop after my pick, so we aren't completely altering every team each round.
Karl Malone
@Skills has my other pick in case everyone decides we want to do two picks. I'm leaving it at one for now though.
Nice pick man and the Melone pick from Skizzo.
I'll do it
Whenever
@NM want to cobble something together for Sunday? Otherwise I'll be MIA all week again
