ManUtd Blog Fantasy League, let the fun start again!

August 6, 2009 By Franky

Fantasy LeagueWith the kickoff for the 2009-2010 coming closer every day again it is time for us readers and ManUtd fans to have some fun again. This year we are back with not one but TWO Fantasy Leagues.

Over the last weeks our ManUtd Blog Facebook page has been growing slowly but steadily, so it was a no-brainer to start a Facebook Fantasy League. If you are on Facebook, become a fan now and then you can join our Manchester United blog pool here. Go now. I’ll wait here for you.

Done? Cool. Take a deep breath now because we have another league for you to join. Obviously we are also present on the more traditional official Fantasy league competition. Join our league by using the code: [Read more…]

Fantasy Footie And Some John Terry Fun

September 17, 2007 By Franky

John TerryNow the Prem has well started, it’s time to have a first look at our Fantasy Footie League.
We have 32 participants, competing for the $500 prize, so far. Of course it’s never too late to join in and much can change quickly in this game.

After 6 gameweeks, Funky Toon F.C. and Riverdale United have taken a clear early lead, and Funky Toon F.C. could still score points today when Newcastle tries to add another victory to their not too bad balance this year. After the jump, at the end of the entry, a screenshot of the Top #20 so far.

With the Champions League starting tomorrow, of course we also launch another league, for the UCL only. ((only for fun this time!))
Join this league at the official official UEFA site and after you have signed up and created your team, use the code

111162-18831

to join this league.

And now to the funnier parts. John Terry.

Manchester United Blog Fantasy Football League

July 10, 2007 By Franky

Instead of continuing to report about the still not concluded Tevez deal, today I get to announce some Manchester United Blog news. Yes, this is the [be-earlied] announcement I had already mentioned a while ago.

We are hosting a Fantasy Football League for the new season and with a $500 prize for the winner!

The runner-up will win a mystery prize, which even I don’t know.
The owner of this blog, Mark, is not only a blog network owner, but also Red Devil Fan To The Death Fan and he sponsors our Fantasy Footie League.

Thanks Mark!

To join our league, sign up at the official Fantasy Premier League and create your team.
Once you have created your team (no need to worry if you’re an early joiner, until the season starts you can make as many transfers as your little heart desires ;-)), you can join our ManUtd Blog League.
To join our league, click the League link in the upper right navigation block (the one with the red links and grey Budweiser background, the links sadly aren’t too readable) and then use the code 6734-2729. You’ll automatically join our league after having entered this code and hit [enter].

May the best team win!

And you better create an awesome team, because one of the early participants to our Fantasy Football LEague is no one less than Ahmed Bilal, who does not only run ManU blog RedRants, but also SoccerLens

Rules:
The rules are simple: everyone can participate, but only one team pro player. No hidden midnames or team in the wife’s name. We will check this and if cheaters get caught all their teams will be banned from our League. That’s all.
Maybe, if you’re an Arsenal or Chelsea fan, participating might not be the best idea, because you’ll have to deal with one more loss at the end of next Season.

Once more, the code to join the League: 6734-2729.

Starting To Get Excited

June 27, 2007 By Franky

I know that the owner of this site, Mark, still has a nice surprise to come for the next season of our Dream Theater blog, but that’s not the only thing that gets me excited.
The end of June is coming closer and that means that the pre-season is about to start!

Once we’ll have reached mid next week, we’ll finally be able to focus on our Red Devils again! Last weeks have been really hard and hardest of all was not to focus on all the rest… the Henry saga, the City soap and both Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s inability to significantly improve their squad. I’m sure it would have been a blast, but we’ll have time enough over the next 11 months to do so. ;-)

In 4 weeks we are on our Asia Tour, in 6 weeks it’s time for the Charity Shield.
I hope some when in between those two events we can announce the news for this site. And I hope next season will bring us among the most read and important English football blogs. I surely hope to bring my views on our magnificent team and it’s foreseeable awesome new season! And of course I hope you’ll enjoy those views too.

I have been thinking a little about what we could do for this blog to make Season 2007-2008 a success and that’s where I need your help! Tell us in the comments what you’d love to see on Manchester United Blog over the next months and we’ll look to implement it. Those are my thoughts so far:

– Player interviews would be awesome, but the guys most of time are very busy and not that easily to approach for interviews. Still, I will try. Every help here is of course appreciated.
– A Manchester United wiki, starting with player pages. With time and your help, we could easily build the most extensive online ManUtd. encyclopedia.
– Guest bloggers : been to a ManU event or play in a youth league? Has your ManU fan club organized a cool event? If you want to write an entry about, leave a comment (make sure to include a valid email so we can get back to you).
– Regular polls.
– A ManUtd. photo gallery. Seen one of our stars and snapped a quick shot, been to a game and taken pics. We could share them in a gallery.

I can think of many more things, but now it’s up to you guys. Let us know, so we can prepare the next term and make this site rock!

One more thing: I’ll be at Old Trafford next week watching paint dry for a cricket Twenty/20 game. Leave a comment if you’re going to be there!
