Heritage Round - Season 36

The year is 1941 2001.

Mobbenfuhrer has just finished creating a fantasy football league on an old reconditioned Tamagotchi and his site on lexicon.net was dial up interwebbing away with the promise that "It's assured, you won't be disappointed”.

36 seasons of disappointment entertainment later, and at least we can take solace in the knowledge that to quote the great man… It isn't really happening!!!!!

And so, 22 years later and 36 seasons on from that fateful disclaimer... here we are celebrating over two decades of our beloved league that has certainly left all of us equal parts elated & disappointed at some point, and yet we can rest easy in the knowledge that it isn't really happening and my tears over our premiership heartache at the Warriors are just figments of my overly fervent and feverish imagination!

Ladies and Gentlemen … Welcome to Heritage Round, as we celebrate 36 seasons of joyful misery! 🤗

Very well put together OP TheInjuryFactory !!!!

Enjoyed our last match thread Phoenix and hoping for more of the same.


Baghdad we really need this one lads !!
 
Oh goodie, it’s the Feenix again.

Hi everyone at the Eerie, please post your team list, we did so much damage to some of you last time that you are almost as unrecognisable as the East Side Hawks emblem.

So the OOB's have been excluded just cause it's ******* old fellas week, might annoy the crap out of youse all anyway- will serve you right.

Speaking of small groups BLUE prior to this season when was the last season Baghdad didn’t add players to their squad in-season ?
We add camels to our breeding program in-season, seems kinda pointless otherwise.

Too many of them to keep locked up. Have a 24hr a day guard on DemurePrincess instead, both cheaper and easier.

The camels are also now aware of her tendency to ride off into the sunset, they are more wary this time.
Wary dromedaries are an interesting breed.

Don‘t feel too bad, some teams cannot even remember if they were rivals

Gotta try something different to annoy us, we love talking about our spirit animal all week.

Sorry BAT but we really need this one!

Enjoy the match thread and the hospitality though! There hasn’t been a thread that matched the last one v the Bombers since, so nice to finally see some campaigners who will engage 🤙🏼

That’s dependent on how many perma bans they’ve received up to the halfway point each season, right?

You bring your camels to the Eyrie… it’s your fault if they go missing!! 😉🤭
