9.01 - Dean Ashton, FOR, West Ham
Matt and I will have to go after round 12. Considering that us two are going, and another guy said he was going, and someone else didn't even show, we'd like to propose the postponement of the final 8 rounds as opposed to autopicking 4 teams remaining slots.
Thoughts?
I'll have to turn in at midnight as I've got to be up early for work tomorrow.
sounds good to me - I need to get to bed so that I can go to work in the morning.
Would everyone be able to make it back tomorrow?
9.03 John Carew, For, AV
We're on Pacific standard time, 8 hours behind GMT. What works best, and what time zones are the rest of you in?
as I'm working until late Monday and Tuesday, but if most managers can, you'll have to autopick, for me
Wednesday works fine. Are we in all agreement? 10am PST/6pm BST?
Because Chris isn't back until Tuesday, let's resume Tuesday. I'll be around here 6PM UK time.
Someone's got to, and it might as well be a Toon fan...
Michael Owen, FWD, Newcastle
How about starting at 7pm again
Can't make tomorrow, but can make Tuesday evening.
OK 6 pm UK time is 10am PST/1pm EST, which myself and matt have both agreed we can do.
Any objections from anyone?
Wait, wednesday or tuesday? I'm off work Tuesday.
If we don't do it "live" like right now, I suppose we can just find time to make our picks. But the two of us can definitely be available Tuesday.
Hmmm...I have an idea. Anyone who's on the clock can make their picks, leave it to the next guy to pick whenever he likes until the agreed upon time/date that we'll resume the draft. OK?
Sounds acceptable. As long as everyone tries to stay on top of it to finish by Friday, it should work fine.
12 rounds today?
I'm working until 7pm (UK time) on Wednesday, but if that's when everyone else can make it, I'll join in as soon as I can.
Are the two of us the only guys in American time zones? If so, we'll try to accommodate.
Who's the autopick for John so we can move this thing along? We've lost a lot of time due to his absence today.
Ray - are you going to put in the next auto pick for John
... what's the next pick?
John is online. I just PM'ed him that he's on the clock. If he doesn't pick in 5 minutes, I'll autopick.
7.06 - Joe Hart, GK, Manchester City
7.07- Micah Richards, DEF, Manchester City
9.08 Phil Jagielka, Defender, Everton
