Joining this is akin to supporting the likes of terrorism and the Devil.

Boycott the Sun.

Join another Fantasy Football.

I recommend:

The Telegraph

or

The Metro.

What The Sun printed was **** , they have appologised and have had almost 0 sales on Mersey side ever since , quite rightly so .
However , last May a Liverpool fan dropped a paving slab on a guys head , and has left another supporter take the rap for it . Sure , the real culprit has admitted he did it , but he is not about to go back to face the music .
IMHO I don't think a Liverpool supporter should be so quick to take the moral highground , over a fantasy league .
I only type this , as its not the first time you have complained about "us" following The Sun's dream team
As MJN says , don't join , nobody is forcing it upon you

You're wrong.

It was an Evertonian who comitted the crime.

How long did it take them to apologise? ...and why did they do it?

They did because that Manc Rooney signed a deal with them and they wanted to increase circulation amongst Evertonians on Merseyside...the apology was in no way sincere and nicely coincided with the Rooney deal.

Scum through and through.

...
Also, maybe some of the younger members of our forums aren't fully aware of their crimes, so I feel as though I must inform them before they join the Devil unknowingly.
...
We all know Liverpool fans have had their troubles in the past, but I will fight this battle regardless of anything else that has happened.
...
How can people trust the Sun and support them when they don't just produce shoddy journalism (not that I'd know), but they produce LIES as well.

I was born in 1987, so was only 2 back then

We can forgive, but must never forget. It was 16 years ago though...personally I don't like to stay hateful (even if Hillsborough never personally affected me), it makes me a hateful person, and that's not me

You don't have to join the league. But let's leave it here, as I'm sure most are fully aware of history and as intelligent human beings, we make our own choices

Exactly, this thread is not for discussing the rights and wrongs of The Sun.

So, lets keep it on track, eh?

It's about the football.

10 teams!

Keep them coming.

A word of warning though, don't leave it til the last day, as the website gets very busy and the web site can't handle it.

Ok - I'm in. Although I have a sneaky feeling that despite winning last time I'm going to fall flat on my face this time

Reason why?? My mate from work (also a member here) has entered and that spells doom.......

I'm in


did anyone else find it too damn hard to get anything like a decent team together?? normally you have a couple of week spots and the rest are decent players, but i had to sacrifice loads of players i wanted just to keep under budget.... some very tough choices there!

So much of it comes down to luck anyway - there's always a few players who totally exceed expectations, usually plenty of flops and injurys too, and teams dropping out that you'd expect to get through...

anyhow, fingers crossed and good luck everyone! I just cant wait for it all to kick off now....
