- Thread starter Skizzo
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Thursday works best for me.
Sent in now.
Dont really have much time coz of uni. If @NM has any preference, or else thursday we go ahead.
Will start in about an hour...
Thursday works
Sent write-up to edgar
@OB should have it. I'm really the assistant here with minimal input. I know he was working it
Be a bit shit if it was a no show, although you could probably just set your lineup as that's basically 90% why people vote the way they do.
Ive sent the writeup. Just waiting to hear from NM so said to keep it on hold. It'll be posted in a while in anycase.
Have sent the writeup to post. Its night here so will be sleeping. Im busy with uni so will try to be around tomorrow if i can. I didnt think games would still be going on 
NM's busy with work too me guess. Hope for a good match 
NM's busy with work too me guess. Hope for a good match Will there be another reinforcement round before the finals and it so, how many players? Because two seems a bit too much for me since the team would look vastly different to the one that was picked initially as one could've replaced 4 of 5 starters. Just one would be obviously a bit unfair on the one who has to pick second.
Pick one and block one would be nice.
No chance, haha.
Why?
Both managers would PM draft master the one you desired to pick and whom you want to block,it would be fun for onlookers.
Oh, right, actually that's fine. For some reason I thought you meant block a player already on their team.Why?

NO, its from available pool of players.
Pick one, block one sounds like a cool idea but what happens if both pick the same player?
neither get the player.
@Skizzo when do we pick reinforcement? And is it as suggested earlier?
So there will be one reinforcement player available for the final.
As suggested above, it will be pick one and block one. So you'll PM myself and Edgar (in case I'm away) both the player you're picking, and the player you're blocking.
If both teams pick the same player, he's removed entirely from the available reinforcements. If a manager picks the player the other team blocked, he is blocked for that pick, but available on the second chance. The manager can keep trying to pick him, the other team can keep blocking him. Strategery needed.
Three chances to pick a reinforcement. If you make a successful pick, you just keep submitting blocks. Round over when both managers have picked a player successfully, or have used all 3 attempts.
Send the PM's as soon as you're ready!

@syrian_scholes @Akshay @altodevil86 @Kasper
1 reinforcement omly or it'd change the team too much imo.
Come on lads. Lets go on with it. One match left. Lets finish at least one basketball draft. @Kasper @altodevil86 @syrian_scholes @Akshay
We've sent our picks in to Skizzo yesterday.
Done so now.
Akshay/Syrian only have to submit a player to block. Can be the same one or different.
Alto/Kasper only have to submit a player they're trying to recruit. Can be the same one or different.

You guys are still the favorites though. Alas for Skizzo taking Hakeem last round, really messed us up
Wait.. you didn't pick Hakeem?You guys are still the favorites though. Alas for Skizzo taking Hakeem last round, really messed us up
What happened to second round pick / blocks.
We are still finding a new player
you got hell lot of options there.Many are blocked by our players though/Askhay etc.
It seems like Akshay had done a good job there,he predicted your first pick and blocked it.But I think you can still go with your first pick for second round as well? does the rule permit it?
Quote to see the available players.
Yeah think so - but it was our third attempt really because we realised our first two was sneakily blocked by our current players for even 1/2 seasons. If we can pick up a player not drafted we would be interested in that. If not there are a few from the first round teams we like - and submitted to Skizzo now.
Very interested to see who the others picked. We assumed it would be between Hakeem and Lebron so blocked Lebron. They say not Hakeem but can't believe it.
