08/21/2006: "Fantasy Football"

mood:

I made an attempt on fantacy football again this year. I played in a league couple of years ago and I did about average. This year, I joined the telegraph league and another local league comprised largely of colleagues.
Although I did put the effort this time around, the first game did not go as I had anticipated. Half of my team was out for the first game of the season so I didn't score many points. Also I realised that sentimentality when it comes to selecting players for the team does not do any good.
Neither of the 2 Greek players in my squad scored any points, so that was a bit of a let down. I will stick with them for pride if nothing else until the end of the month and then i will take advantage of the tranfers I have at the end of the month.

Talking about football, I bought tickets for the Man City - Arsenal game which takes place next saturday at the City of Manchester Stadium. I look forward to that. Man City was the very first team I saw live when I first came to the UK back in 1992....long time ago... for the record they were playing Oldham Athletic and the game ended a 3-3 draw...
