Fantasy Premier League
It’s hard to believe but the first fixture date for the 2007/2008 English Premier League season is August 12. That means you only have a few weeks to sign up for the official ThroughBall.com fantasy football league. Once you’ve picked your team, join this private league by using the code: 400584-77285
It’s free to join so you don’t really have any excuses—except that you’ll probably be embarrassed by my fantastical prowess.
We had a great campaign last year and, while I didn’t destroy all of you, I certainly destroyed most of you. Incidentally, so did my wife, who really enjoyed her first year of football immersion.
What are you waiting for? Join the ThroughBall.com fantasy league now!

It is on. I got the team in and I am ready to kick some ass.
Sorry, I guess that I didn’t get into the league. What is the code?
Hey, my bad. The code to join is 400584-77285
What delightfully sassy taunting! It does the soul good. Especially the part about a girl doing better than boys. I mean, that’s just low!

It wasn’t so much a girl vs. boy thing as it was a newbie vs. veteran thing. But I like that aspect too.
“Turnbull’s Tornadoes” signed up and ready for action, milord.
The highly inexperienced yet reasonably successful Football Optional is returning this season, although I messed up and lost my numbers from 2006/07. Here’s hoping my fantasy football skills surpass my basic internet skills.
[...] Fantasy Premier League season is upon us and I’m happy to announce that everyone who joins the ThroughBall.com fantasy football league before noon (CDT) on August 3, 2007 is eligible for the grand prize—a free Premiership jersey of their choice! (*See the fine print below) At 12:01 PM, I’m going to close the league to new registrations to prevent late arrivers from staking a bogus claim to the jersey. [...]
Swan let me know that you were looking to give me a jersey this year. Thanks Josh!
Taste the power of my all-African team.

You are welcome. Welcome to embarrass yourself, that is.
However, if there were an award for best team name, AfrikanDoIt! would win, hands-down.
I will admit its difficult to find an African goalie that’s worth anything…
Just joined the league, hopefully I do better than I did last year. ThroughBall has been part of my daily reading for a while now, keep up the great work.
AJ: Thanks and welcome aboard!
[...] This season I am playing two versions of Premiership Fantasy Football: the official Premier League game, where my bahookie is being kicked, and the Yahoo UK version, where I’m not doing too badly — considering I started two weeks late. Both games are addictively fun, but that’s where the similarity ends. [...]
