The Football League kicked off on Saturday – as you can see, I attempted a panoramic pic with the iPhone as the teams lined up at the County Ground, Swindon. We got things rolling nicely with a 3-1 victory, including a lovely first goal netted by Billy Paynter after a the kind of intricate passing move we don’t get to enjoy too often down those parts. Hurrahs all round, as you can imagine.
The other big kick off is this Saturday, of course, when the Premiership gets going. I’m delighted that the League of Scoundrels, the official Completetosh Fantasy Football league, already sports a mighty 15 teams after my earlier plug here. Welcome, one and all.
If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll join in the fun – it’s free, and you’ll get to watch me embarrass myself by being almost unfeasibly rubbish. Once you’ve signed up here, click on the Friends Leagues link and search for the League of Scoundrels. The password is Completetosh. Go on – sign up. It’s so much more fun than work. And, you know… it’s August, after all.
And if you’ve signed up but haven’t picked a team yet, don’t forget to log in before the end of the week to pick your squad – you really don’t want to end up with the team the auto pick feature gives you.
