Fantasy football...

[SaintGeorge67]

...seems to have overtaken reality.

All I ever hear at work is "x is in my fantasy football team" or "I hope we win 5-1 and x scores the 1 because he's in my fantasy football team.

NO. I hope Liverpool win 93457438968907643618756438067893274891375617834-0 and fuck fantasy football. I support Liverpool, not winning a fantasy football league.

When did I miss it becoming such an obsession?

You're overreacting.

It's just a fun game to play.

I don't think any sane footy fan would pick his fantasy team winning over his supported team.

I know what you mean, especially when you're in several leagues that promise a prize, for instance I was disgusted at myself for being happy that fantasy captain Drogba netted and assisted last week. I should be fucking wanting Chelsea to lose.

:-\

An Everton fan in work once said to me about Ronaldo scoring against them to win it, "At least I got dream team points".

Fuck that, It's the last thing i'd want. I usually try get rid of players we're playing against that weekend.

In the Derby 2 years ago when Kuyt scored those 2 penalties, I remember a 'Liverpool supporting friend' of mine jumped up and roared penalty when Hibbert fouled Gerrard. He then shouted at the screen not to send Hibbert off. Why not?

Because he had Hibbert in his fantasy football team, and it's -3 points for a red card.

Pathetic

Wait, why have Hibbert on your team in the first place, he's shit.

Men guilty of taking a little game too seriously shocker!

I don't see the big deal.

Yup, I hate the fantasy football attitude.



P.S. I've got Torres as captain in my team
