* murf's FISO TFF Highlander Killer Cup league 2019/20 with added Zombie Reanimation *

[morganb]

Film trivia fact: the way to kill a zombie is the same as killing a Highlander - remove the head.

Happy to be corrected...

[Maldini]

Correction : One must destroy the brain to ‘kill’ a zombie.

Removing the head is not sufficient.

[murf]

With Hogmeister now officially out we now have 27 going into Cull 4.

Next week we get a bit more complicated with the first ever zombie reanimation but this week is straightforward. 27 enter the glen, only 26 will get to the sea.

Confirmation of our 3rd demise:

CULL 4, DAY 1 SCORES

OK, so only 1 game gone but 20 of you really need to up your games.....

CULL 4, DAY 2 SCORES

So City score 8 goals. That must have got you loads of points. Who did you have? Zinchenko.... ah, unlucky. Sterling.... ah, unlucky.

De La Soul were wrong. It is 8 that is the magic number. I am 8th from the bottom and those below have up to 8 points less than me. 8 teams play today too. And, of course, I have 8 to play today. Honest.

CULL 4 FINAL SCORES

Mischaps, mischaps, mischaps
Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh
We don't look the same as you
And we don't do the things you do
But we live around here, too, oh well we did....

Our four culling victims who now reside in another place will be hoping to be reanimated from their current zombie form this weekend.

Turns out they all also reside in the bottom 7 of our league:

24 Mischaps George Preston 24 257 17 75988
25 Highlander Hogs Ian Wallace 39 256 19 77165
27 Hogweeds Highlanders Ross Banyard 36 240 18 102865
29 HR Corinthians Roy Boyles 20 200 11 143027

So what does that say about the three of us down there who have somehow survived so far??

26 murf's mob HIGHLANDER Jason Murfitt 29 245 13 96148
28 The Wee Free Men Andrew Phillips 39 231 17 115048
30 Milfy Sigurdsson Jose Gidyinho 46 198 13 143898

[theo29]

the art-work of the gibbet has definitely reanimated HR Corinthians to depart from the nether regions as soon as possible. His current squad are now training at a local massage parlour to ensure maximum performance !

[Fat Heed]

Apologies for the delay responding to the chat, my team is Milfy Sigurdsson! Glad to see I’ve not been beheaded

Beheeded?

CULL 5, DAY 1 SCORES

Two days to go but only 2 games to go.

Here are the scores of the living:

And, for the first time here are the scores of those trying to undead themselves. Looks like we could get a reanimated Hogmeister.

highlaa3rda05Za.png

Who do you fancy to save you / bring you back to life???

Today - 16:30 Leicester City v Newcastle United
Monday - 20:00 Manchester United v Arsenal

[murf]

Of those fearing the reaper, Robot got 2 points yesterday which was 2 more than anyone else who was under 30. Game on.

Of those wanting reanimation, everyone scored something! Albeit -1 for two of them. Hogmeister got +7 as did theo29 but the lead is now 20 points. Game off?


I'm alright I've got AWB playing tonight. Ohr not. That is now 5 players who haven't started for me this weekend (+1 who surprised me by actually playing).

[Spinynorman]

I'm not lurking about near the bottom for a change.

[ventosus]

[breathes sigh of relief] - or is it too soon??

[murf]

CULL 5, FINAL SCORES

A pig for a sheep.....

highlaa3rda05X.png

The 6 people below me all score good points, probably all had Adebayor. That was the obvious move and the one I would have done but I didn't think I'd need to. Even without AWB. Wrong.

highlaa3rda05ZZ.png

[ventosus]

ouch....

[workie-ticket]

Adebayor..?

[morganb]

Pierre-Emerick Adebayor

[morganb]

Not to be confused with Emmanuel Aubameyang

[murf]

That is why my team is crap.

[Mystery]

Happy to see I'm still in the living here having paid my usual little attention to the start of the season.

[Hogmeister]

...and I’m back from the dead And in fact my short spell away, and getting reanimated, cost me less in transfers overall than if I hadn’t cocked things up in the first place and forgot to make the transfers I needed to survive! Funny how things work out sometimes

But sorry to see you go murf, time for some zombie sheep methinks, as suggested above

[murf]

According to jamjack, you should have waited Hogmeister. I may panic like you and try and get back in next time as well but the extreme version was proposed....

"Anyone else considered whether ignoring your Highlander team until March and betting all your chips on trying to join the party again in the last zombie reanimation is the tactic here?"

[morganb]

Just to ward off bad luck for those of us still in the game, can we start to refer to them as 'the Z-word' and 'the Scottish film' please?

....and those of us in the netherworld must similarly use the words 'Highlander' and 'Zombie' in every post or be forever damned to wander in the wastelands of the warehouse containing all the unwanted and unsold VHS cassettes of Highlander 2.

[Jamjack]

Murf!

If memory serves I recall you flew too close to the sun judging the preservation of transfers last year too. At least this year there is a way back with effective Zombie management

Are you going to sleep until March?

[murf]

CULL 5, DAY 1 SCORES

6 down. 4 to come.

Talking of 4... that is all our reanimated zombie managed yesterday, struggling to find his feet (and reattach them) obviously. Some of the rest of you weren't much better. Hopefully nothing to do with flesh eating zombies but your bums are getting squeaky, sweaty and itchy. Will that itch transfer up to your trigger finger? City players? Aubameyang? Ditch the injured KdB? the off form Kane? the off form a bit and maybe injured Salah?

Bum is squeaky and finger is itchy. Never a good combo at this stage. Cant afford Aubameyang, have KdB. Seriously thinking Mahrez (i know....rotation, rotation, rotation)

[murf]

Oh look, my score is the most gash
"So you're culled in the weekly dash?"
No, not me, cos I'm already out
"Well, who then?" you nervously shout
Tis poor Sportsmeister with 'Russel Nash'
