  1. Technically we were losing for over a period
  2. Assist and 19/22 FO. That's Hrdina type numbers
  3. Sasky, Ottawa and the Brats.
  4. Somehow not retired yet - in two of their cases this is solely due to the existence of a league in a country made of money, but shit at the sport. MLS is the perfect retirement home.
  5. Yeah I said winding it down. Drogba is not extending his deal with Impact. Lamps will definitely be back for NYCFC, but for how many years?
  6. Good old Jimmy Floyd... Weird part to me is that there's a guy from the tail end of the pre Abramovich era that's still playing (Eidur Gudjohnsen) when guys like Drogba/Lampard/Terry are all winding it down. Even weirder part is I actually looked it up, Gudjohnsen is YOUNGER than Drogba and Lampard (only by months, and all three have a few years over Terry) when I'd have sworn up and down, just based on eras with Chelsea, that Gudjohnsen would have been older by a few years at least.
  7. Fab? The guy who was only starting because of a minor injury to Matic, who should be back next week? Suuuuure, suspend him, it will affect the lineup 0 times.
  8. Aguero/Fernandinho will be out a while now. Should cost City more points, now if Pool and Arsenal could kindly drop some as well
  9. I have less than 0 interest in graphics, but liked the post because if Gorlab wants this so badly it's clearly important and necessary, thus worth the 2 seconds it takes to click like
  10. Also @eaglesfan036 who you leaving my team with?
  11. My school caused this snub to have happened - also beat another team that will still end up in the playoffs
  12. I don't want to be too obnoxious about this, since I think it was my obnoxiousness about it earlier in my VHL career that may have kept me out for this long (I mean there were years when no builders were picked, so it's not like I was being passed over for more deserving candidates, although there definitely have been plenty of deserving candidates who have gotten in). Back in the day I would talk to whoever would listen about how I thought I needed a HOF Builder spot and how I did this and that and everything and should be in - while I still think everything I said was true, the notion of holding off until the member is less active so as to get a fuller notion of their contribution was brought up to me a few times and ultimately it proved true as I've greatly declined in activity in the recent months/year. I remember a conversation I had with @Phil once about how he and I both needed to get in as well as @Beketov. Since that conversation, all three have been inducted, some just hours ago *cough* me *cough*. I'm now going to join the bandwagon for @Higgins to get there, as well as perhaps a more surprising choice in @boubabi, who I feel has changed the VHL Graphical community for the better even though that's not really an aspect of the site I'm as familiar with or interested in. Still, while my players have typically underperformed their TPE counts (except maaaaybe Marcellin) pretty much ruling out an entry as a player, I'd say two massive GM stints, one in each league (sometimes more successful than other times), as well as VHLM Commishing, mag mainstay for years, and the King of All S23 (VHL cup as player, VHLM cup as GM, and the winner of the now-defunct Fyodorov Challenge)...
  13. Chapecoense (Brazilian club team) were headed out to the away leg of the Copa Sudamericana final and their plane crashed. 76 dead 5 survivors.
  14. I would very much like to see that
  15. Back in the day, Leeds were fair as well, Pompey were regularly a Prem club, money has worked well for those who have it but has also hurt the ones who don't.
  16. CHELSEA! Top of the league still, comeback over Spurs was fantastic
  17. There's something to be said for the concept of returning where it all began. Technically I did spend a season in Minot as a player, but even that was under Jardy. Then I went to Ottawa and ran show there for 6 of the most enjoyable seasons of my time on the site. It might be the spark I need. I sign in Ottawa
  18. I've always been a fan of the M. I think I might be the only person who ever left VHL Mag to write for VHLM Mag when it was a thing. Do you guys have new guys? If you don't have any vets but you have some new guys, you might need me more than some teams.
  19. Rift... where have I heard that name before?
  20. @STZ is definitely a good selling point, I like him, he's a good guy. Also, another big plus: having been a former GM at both levels, I definitely appreciate the acknowledgement of every member being important toward the overall success - a few star guys are great, but you need the middle guys to do their part as well if you want to have success. You seem to know that, you care about your team, you're doing things the right way.
  21. Jericho and I were talking about Oslo briefly. It would be tempting because it's a lot of my old friends, but ultimately I think that very fact will end up keeping them out. Too many vets who know their way around, I wouldn't really be giving them anything they don't already have. I don't know much about Yukon though, or Sasky for that matter. I would definitely like to hear from everyone.
  22. This all sounds good as well. Definitely a contender, especially with a few first gens with potential. I like that. I don't know BluesBoy that well. I saw him around a few times on here and SHL, but I left there a while ago.
