Due to the current economic hardships being experienced in the Democratic Republic of Cyberland, The Rounded Keeper has not been and will not be refurbished this season. The Management felt that, given the need for tight fiscal polices in these dark days, all available excess funds would be better spent on a round the world trip for one lucky member of staff.

It was a bold, reckless decision criticised by many but, as the sole beneficiary, I have to say that I applaud The Boards' courage and tenacity in the face of aggressive, sometimes violent protest from the Shareholders.

I feel it now incumbent upon me to apologise fully and unreservedly to the citizens and governments of the following countries for my behaviour when within their territorial domains. I'm sorry. I was very, very drunk.

Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Cuba, French Polynesia, India, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Thailand, Turkey, U.S.A. and Vietnam.

I refuse to apologise to Greece, even should it lead to war. They asked for it.

Now, let the matter rest, no more let us look to the past! A new season is upon us and much plotting and bantering must be done!

I hereby invite our much loved, long serving barmaid Gretchen to do the honours and pull the first pint before accompanying me down to the cellars for a little spot of riesling and a bag of salted nuts.

I must admit that I was disappointed yesterday when I popped in for a quick one how tatty the RK has become in recent months. But I suppose that keeping Gretchen despite her being out of contract and despite the attempts by the Scarlet Striker to lure her into its dark recesses is some sort of pre-season achievement.

yep,welcome home Flyman - you'll find a few changes have been made during your absence but you'll soon catch up.

OOps,thanks Gretchen , Krispy's been looking everywhere for you - you're in much demand over on the 5AS thread.

Cheers Flyman, a nice gesture that, to provide drinks on the house on your first day back out of what's left of our cash.

You've been to all these countries, some in my region here in the Middle-East and have not experienced the best night life in the world, here in Tel-Aviv. :(
We welcome people who know Gretchen, even more so when drunk and ready to 'spill the beans' or at least show us pictures of Gretchen with her 'pearl necklace'. :roll:
No kids under 18 are allowed here in the Rounded Keeper Pub, right?
All hail Flyman, bar tender of the best football pub online! :)

Thanks, everyone, it's nice to be back in the warm, loving and buxom bosom of the FISO family - especially Gretchen's!
(Well, I can dream!)
Very much looking forward to all the pre-season tinkering but as I'm currently homeless I'm not sure how much I'll be around until I get settled in a new house. I'll be ducking in for a quick shandy from Gretch's fair hand whenever I can, though. :P

Isn't it great to see old friends back, reds? First Flyman, then The Rounded Keeper with of course Gretchen, and not forgetting the old favourite side game The FISO Divisional Championships....

That, Flyman, is what you call a round-the-world trip. How time flies eh? Seems like only yesterday you were waiting for potential buyers to come round and look at your house.... :shock: Welcome back!

I know it's a bit of a bratty ask but I was wondering if mods could leave active topics in the FPL forum when they are related to more general team info etc? I feel like most of the users of this section of the forum don't venture into the other sections as there's so much to trawl through, and we're used to the community here (and I feel the other sections probably have their own communities). IMO most of the discussion in this section falls into the grey area of being about fixtures and general footballing opinion rather than specifically FPL stuff, but this gives the information a much rounder feel about it, and just generally is more interesting.

Goes without saying you guys do a great job and we all really appreciate it - I know the rules dictate this place has to be kept tidy but it would be nice to have a bit more leeway on threads which are providing interesting discussion (eg.'your team's starting 11' thread)

much love :)

Just got my annual copy of FourFourTwo with the Season Premier 2010-11: it's either a huge spanner in the works, confirms what I already planned, or a bit of both... :mrgreen:

Woops didnt mean to have that last bit in, seems to be an automatic text that you have to delete. I can get on here as per normal but the tapatalk interface makes things very accesible to use.

Intersting game for Citeh v Valencia.
Lots of changes in the squad but Koralov looks good, even executed a decent free kick. But great goal by Barry through an assist by Boateng!

Beginning an hour from now, EPL 2010/11 begins in glorious High Def! Maybe not a big deal for many of you, but MY first season with most, if not all, games broadcast the way they intended. Oh happy days.

Shock horror: Michael Carrick in the starting lineup, despite Fergie claiming just days ago that he'd miss the first few fixtures of the new season. :roll: Owen partnering Rooney upfront, no Nani in the midfield.
