Feel I'm going to be yo-yoing for quite a few seasons.  Thought I nailed the Brazil '94 squad Q after remembering Taffaral, but turns out Cafu didnt start. Sigh

Travelling back to Dundee from Notts on a minibus is not fun. Questions for Season 8 tomorrow.

New players welcome.

Season Seven was a cracker as TightEnd won the Premier League for a 4th time, meaning he now singlely holds the record for the amount of PL titles - with horseplayer stuck on 3. sharplea, for the 2nd time, was able to split the big two and must now be considered a serious title challenger as he only lost out on the Season Seven title on a play-off after scoring 14 points. horseplayer finished one point back with Rubbish2407 also maintaining his PL status, whilst Alverton and Longy dropped out of the elite division.

The seasonal average was 7.9, the third lowest in the history of the game, and anyone scoring above that average can be very happy with themselves. One man who did that was Tal who cracked in 11 points to win the Championship and grab his PL status back. dino1980 joined him after scoring 9 points but he will need to show improvement to have any chance in the top league.

Seven points was the most common score in Season Seven with TheChipPrince and stribling achieving that score to stick it out in the Championship whilst Waz1892 and elstitchio also scored 7 as they achieved title success in Leagues One and Two respectively.

Season Eight should be entertaining.
