How do I change my photo?
I would go for Carlo but I fear I'll be changing it pretty soon.
Got to love Cantona - a true legend. Not like the prima donnas of today.
Haha ... What a legend:

Like phone hacking, we all know spying on others' teams goes on but, Ted, surely it is not gentlemanly to admit it? However, I did not need Andy Coulson's help to have my spies tell me that your strikeforce has 29 points (Long Pants have 54), your defense has 31 points (Long Pants have 83) and your midfield has 51 points (Long Pants have a massively impressive 102). So the only danger to Long Pants sauntering through to the next round of the Cup is over confidence... with or without chinks!
This paper can report that Three Fullbacks management sent a "spy" to take a look at their opposition in the Quarter Finals (Long Pants). Despite the impressive form of Long Pants this season, the "spy" has returned quietly confident, having found a few chinks in the armour (these chinese get everywhere). Apologies for the apparent racism in this scoop, but I couldn't resist it.
11 points is an impressive performance, Ted: but I think you'll need to do better in the next round to defeat Long Pants if they can keep up their present momentum. This weekend Long Pants scored 22 points!! (Hart 3, Toure 3, Huth 6, Nani 3, Van Persie 6, Crouch 3: Huth -1 and Higginbotham -1). Your one hope is that Ray has been ordered by Sir harry Hatchet Job to focus on the league.
Big news and big shocks in the first round of this year's FFL Cup.
Current league leaders, TEN MEN (Ben), scored an impressive 7 points (Beckford 5, Arshavin 4, offset by negative scores from Vidic and Enrique) in their match against "TERRY BENT MY PIENAAR"(Allan). However, it was not enough to go through to the Quarter Finals as the away team managed to gain 10 points (Carragher 3, Dempsey 3, Rodallega 3, Pedersen 2, Friedel -1). So, Allan goes into the next round.
A Carlos Tevez hat-trick helped second placed ARGENTINA (Alex) progress fairly comfortably with a 12 points to 3 win against CECH MY JOHNSON (Jamie).
In the final 1st round match. lowly THREE FULLBACKS (Ted) pulled off another shock, beating AFC BOB (Rob) by 11 points (Walcott 5, Sturridge 3, Arteta 2, Boatend 3, Howard -2) to 3 (Robinson -3, Baines 2, Koscielny -3, Kolarov 5, Krankjar 3).
So the matches in the quarter finals of the FFL Cup will be:
Terry bent my Pienaar vs Dancin in the Streets (Sam)
Argentina vs Bottom Again (Neil)
Seymours Sexy Squad (Jenny) vs Dan Pet Rescuers (Tilly)
Three Fullbacks vs Long Pants (Ray)
Matches will be played over the weekend of 5th/6th March
All the best

With Kohn looking the only name to likely to appear on the title trophy this year will it be a record breaking season for ray or myself or can ben stop a fourth title staying this side of the world! My money is on myself and fancy retaining the cup to. Kirkmans you need to buck your ideas up for the second part of the season otherwise the proposed second tier of fantasy could become reality.
Good luck for the remainder of the season fellow managers you'll need it.
