Shotgun Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 This time last year I was stressing because 2 of my team were threatening to miss the kick-off. b*****ds are both still with us. And if I had gone with my B Team, I would be sitting mid-table now instead of languishing near (but not on) the bottom. So much for beginner's luck. This year I'm going with a team composed entirely of people I'll be happy to see gone. Admittedly, that will be doubly disappointing if I do badly but hey, every score will be a bonus. Think positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Clive James is also getting dropped after 5 years with the club and occasional captain. My condolences to the James family. Yep, I'm planning to drop him too. What are the odds he doesn't see February? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Pretty happy to have avoided "null points" in 2015 to be honest but my team for next year is shooting for the stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Pretty happy to have avoided "null points" in 2015 to be honest but my team for next year is shooting for the stars There's your first mistake. They should be shooting at each other. Death pool tactical naïveté in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think positive. I'll be more than delighted if three of mine die. The Dead Pool points would be an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sureiknow Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 One more chance Clive James. ONE MORE! Yes, I think others are trying to talk us out of him. Reverse physiology I think it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Jimmy Hill is a non-runner for team Mr Bairn and Lord Janner was my first reserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You do realise you can make subs right up to the 31st, don't you? Yes, however my plan was that any non-runner would be replaced by Lord Janner. I now have to think of someone else to put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Do you know what one of my favourite things about Dead Pool is? It's that we get entries from folk who barely (or in one case - have never) posted on P&B before. There's one guy who's been registered since 2011, doesn't have a single post to his name, but plays Dead Pool every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine won the Prediction League one year despite having made no posts - Div still went out his way to get a crate of beer to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
