While I realise that Tim's ant infestation has somewhat dampened spirits here, I bring news that will bring looks of delight (or indifference) to the faces of the Boinng faithful: the return of the 'MinorCeleb Premier League', MinorCeleb.co.uk's very own fantasy football league.
Read on to find what it's all about, and how to join!
Live the fantasy, Boinngites
Submitted by TomParker on Fri, 20/08/2004 - 09:00.I've started a Fantasy Football League at PremierLeague.com, and I thought the good people here at Boinng may want to join the fun. For those of you unfamiliar with fantasy football, you 'buy' a selection of players from different Premier League club who make up your team, and you score points based on their performance throughout the season.
Don't worry if you don't know much about football - there's a button you can press that selects your team at random.
To enter the MinorCeleb.co.uk league, go to http://fantasy.premierleague.com, and enter the league code: 56399-11279
England win European Moral Championship
Submitted by Tim on Fri, 25/06/2004 - 12:54.The nation celebrated into the early hours last night, as a proud English team valiantly reclaimed their title as the Moral Victors of Just About Everything.
Narrowly avoiding the shame of a 2-1 win over hosts Portugal in Euro 2004, and the humilation of proceeding to a semi-final, England fans everywhere exploded with delight when referee Urs Meier naturally disallowed the winning goal by Sol Campbell. Undeserved extra time and penalties secured England's plucky exit, and their corageous Moral Victory over the whole tournament.
"If there was any justice in the world, we'd be going on to win the championship in a couple of weeks", said one fan. "Luckily, by being the moral victors of just about everything, we've been able to win it much sooner. God bless the ref."
England haven't tasted moral victory at European level since 1996, despite taking the moral high-ground at successive World Cups, most recent Wimbledon's, and a number of world wars.
Tom V Tim
Submitted by TomParker on Thu, 19/06/2003 - 14:04.The fixtures for the new football season have been announced, and by some bizarre co-incidence, it has been revealed that my beloved Aston Villa will be playing away at Portsmouth in the opening game, after Tim revealed only last night that he will casually support the Pompey boys now they are a Premiership team.
I aim to attend the match on the 16th of August, and may even seek to follow in Tim's footsteps by knocking off the hat of 'The world's biggest twat', and calling him 'a naughty word', as Tim so elequently put it.
Roll on the new season.
