Is Harcus killing all his picks himself?

 

 

It'll be Sir Harcus soon, for services to Celeb' Death League.  Other managers might try the mind games, but while we all talk the talk in here he's busy doing the business in the dugout.  He seems to be a great motivator.

Good work Harcus. Starting the new season the way you finished the last  :thumbsup:

 

We should really introduce our candidates, out of respect like  ;) Here's mine:

You set a good early pace, but your squad will need to keep it going over the rest of the season.  :P

 

My remaining three.

I'm confident my squad is good enough to cope with the challenge this season.

The more balanced squads will see success. You need to have quality all over the park, a solid back line of ageing wrinklies, a strong midfield of terminal illness and if you can get that all important death row striker then you are in with a shot at the title. Of course there can be those surprise packages in the squad, impact players if you like.

Anybody have that dude from Runrig ? Malcolm Jones. He collapsed at Waverley station in Edinburgh on Sunday. He manage to avoid the electric rails although I'm sure he would have been right at home with a few shocking tracks.

Unlucky Harcus...

No death sentence

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7937034.stm

 

If I'm not mistaken, he may have been jailed for this, but has received two death sentences for various other crimes. However, I'm not really happy with his contribution to the squad. He came with a big reputation and the potential to be great, but hasn't lived up to that as yet.

Should have just picked Paul Bernard.

Same for me with Susan Atkins. The bitch had weeks to live in July 2008  :hammer:

Don't you just wish the players would do their talking on the pitch and not to the media.

 

Jade Goody close to death

Jade’s family prepare for the end

Published: 16/03/2009

 

 

DYING: Jade Goody’s health is getting worse.

More Pictures

JADE Goody’s family were today readying themselves for the end after the cancer-stricken star deteriorated over the weekend.

 

“She has put her house in order and faced up to everything in an incredibly brave way,†her friend and publicist Max Clifford said.

 

“Now we’re waiting for the inevitable, it could be at any time, we just don’t know.â€

 

Yesterday, Jade was visited at her home in Upshire, Essex, by her young sons, Bobby, 5, and Freddy, 4.

 

Although Jade was under sedation and spent much of the last two days sleeping, she smiled when she saw her children and was “briefly conscious†of their presence, according to Mr Clifford.

 

Goody’s mother Jackiey Budden and husband Jack Tweed were also at her bedside.

 

The family had been hoping for friends and loved ones to visit but the 27-year-old was not well enough.

 

Goody has reportedly told her sons, who are staying with their television presenter father, Jeff Brazier, she will soon be in heaven.
