Is Cirkin from Sunderland any good? Over 100 games at this level and above. Only 24. Inexplicably Latvian. Can’t be worse than Thomas or Kristansen surely?

I believe David Ozoh is out of contract at Palace. Played 33 games on loan at Derby last season. Had game time in the Prem with Palace. Only 21 and would be great if he’d drop down for guaranteed game time. 

I was close here looks like it was David Obou out of contract not David Ozoh. Was definitely too good to be an option for us anyway.

Solly March feels like he’s got Citeh written all over him. Massively prolonged injury history & over 30. 

One point for every correct guess. Winner gets Rudkin's job.

Just wondering, are you playing Pokémon Go @General Smuts? Had a friend request with someone today with your name!

Hahaha I have been yeah - been running about catching monsters with my lad. 
 

Pokemon fwends!!!

As ever - pick 5 celebrities and a bonus one under 40 years old. Terribly bad taste but does add an element of competition to the morbid obsession with celebrity death. I wish I was talented at anything else as much as I am at this.

 

1. Esther Rantzen

2. Noam Chomsky

3. Jonnie Irwin

4. Denis Law

5. Roberta Flack

 

U40 - Amy Dowden (Strictly Dancer)

 

And for the benefit of @StanSP here's your list for the next year:

 

1. Caren Marsh Doll

2. Eve Marie Saint

3. James Whale (Talksport)

4. Shannen Doherty

5. June Spencer (The Archers)

 

U40 - 6ix9ine

 

Good luck all.

Another banner year for my only real talent.

 

The list stolen by @StanSP did ok as well tbf:

2. Mutulu Shakur (Tupac's step-dad)

3. Michael J Fox

4. June Spencer (The Archers)

Ignoring the below, and taking the morale high ground as the Hall Of Fame VIP of the Deathlist (TM) I will pick a new list. 

 

 

1. James Whale (Talksport)

2. Ted Kaczynski

3. Caren Marsh Doll

4. Eve Marie Saint

5. Gianluca Vialli

 

Under 40 Bonus - Normani 

Between my initial list that @StanSP stole where George Alagiah & Tupac's dad have perished - and my new list where Vialii & The Unabomber have gone. I might finally get 5 in one year. 

 

I really wish I had other transferable skills than this. 

Steven Sessegnon released by Fulham. Castagne out the door and Ricky P potentially following means we may be in the market for a full back. Only 23 and well capped in the England youth teams. 

Iwan Roberts released by Liverpool. Gerrimin!

So he’s not that shit then and this might now be our level?

Is Joel Latibeaudiere any good? Is that our level now? I’m genuinely curious to know.

2/5. Looking for a clean sweep in 2023. 

Is Joel Latibeaudiere any good? Is that our level now? I’m genuinely curious to know. 

Is Tom Davies at Everton on a free worth a look? Same for Ainsley Maitland-Niles?

Yep was brilliant. Lovie Smith knew he was going to get fired (confirmed now) so stuck it to them by winning the game. 

Once a Bear - always a Bear.

 

Number 1 draft pick. And we don't need a QB - we're gonna get a song and dance for that pick.

If anyone pays any notice to the Top 100 leaderboard - you might spot a familiar name ...  

 

 

My disgusting pack luck continues this year, Mbappe, Benzema, Lewandowski, Salah, VVD, De Bruyne all first owned and in the squad. Some ridiculous Icons and the Mane purple card thingy as well as a light blue Messi. 

 

I just wish I was any good at the actual game and not just the SBC's and opening packs. 

Oh FFS. I didn't realise how ill Vialli was, only that his cancer had returned. Gutted to read of his passing. That Italian influx at Chelsea in the 90s was brilliant and he was a huge part of it. 

 

RIP Gianluca.

Buffalo Bills Damar Hamilin collapsed during a game in the NFL yesterday, was administered CPR on the pitch and is in critical condition. Hope they are both ok.

It's almost that time of year again and as has been the case the last few years - I'll get next to no chance to get on again before the new year. So as the Hall of Fame VIP of the Deathlist I'll abuse my self appointed lofty position to spunk my load early on my picks for 2023. 2 down again in 2022 so replacements to be made.

And for anyone who is looking for any ideas for 2023, here's a quick list of those who nearly made the cut but mostly left of the list as other people had them last year. 

 

Mike Yarwood

Marianne Faithfull

Richard O'Sullivan

Graham Thorpe

Frank Field MP

Caren Marsh Doll

Eve Marie Saint

Steve McMichael (Ex Bears player)

If Facey takes my crown we riot.
