The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 2017-18

[Mav3rick]

Welcome to another year of The Rounded Keeper.

2017/18 is only just beginning but the regulars are already queued up outside, peering through the windows and awkwardly asking strangers who got the assists for Dwight Gayle's pre-season brace against Hearts.

Fortunately for everyone involved, the doors have now opened and Gretchen is ready with the only type of Draft that matters.



Pull up a chair; find your favourite table and enjoy another year of top banter!!

[Terry Henry]

Is it GW1 yet? Bring it on!!

[Pirlo's Beard]

Gretchen appears to be ageless.

It's almost like we're just using the same picture of her over and over again.

[swadd1er]

De Jong and Shelvey with those

I was thinking exactly the same.....but surely no-one is complaining

[The Real Slim Shady]

An impressive 736 pages last year, wonder how many this year will get...

Whats the record number of posts for a TRK thread for posts/views?

[From4corners]

All was down to the amount of times Finisher "told us so".

I'm happy to be at my favourite pub. May I be once again that guy who sits at his own table but somehow seems to get in trouble with everyone else in the pub?

[Mav3rick]

Well I personally think some types of "told you so" posts are very childish and don't even qualify as 'match day banter'. I'd rather not see them at all personally.

But it's not my forum it's our forum, so how do forum regulars feel about it? Feel free to PM if you'd rather say in private.

One thing I'm keen on is a kind of Regular Poster Manifesto, a short statement where we say as a community what our expectations of a good poster are, beyond the T&C's, and then perhaps try to recognise and reward people (think honorary ranks or FISO mugs, that kind of thing) who go above and beyond for the community. Kind of like Karma for those of you familiar with Reddit.

Is there any interest in that kind of thing being kickstarted?

[swadd1er]

Anyone watching Arsenals game against Western Sydney Wanderers? Live on their website. Lacazette looking SHARP.

[Paulista]

Yeah Lacazette looking really lively. Interesting that he and Giroud are playing together.

Happy 17/18 for you guys! Hope to have a thrilling season ahead that hopefully will see me rising up to the FISO H2H Premier League.

United 5-2 winners in LA.

Your not coming in with those trainers on mate. We've had a bit of a refurb and we've got a dress code now.

[jeffmcgow]

You know you are getting old when the second thing you notice is that the person on the left has a butty in her hand. I never realised the pub did food.

Are Liverpool going to buy this Keita or what

[Rich2086]

[RuudTheDudeVanTheMan]

Valencia sent off last night, does that mean he will get a suspension for the first game?

[Colbert]

[RuudTheDudeVanTheMan]

Neymar to PSG for 190 million, madness!

Close, but no Gretchen!

Reportedly Everton want £50m for Barkley (who Koeman doesn't want and can go on a free in 12 months) and Barkley wants £150k per week to sign for Spurs, more than Kane.

Has some hallucinogenic got into the scouse water-supply or something?

The money is crazy now, and why I am far less interested in Football: PSG paying Neymar's escape Clause, plus astronomic wages.... Arsenal refusing to sell Sanchez, but he goes for nowt in 12 months...
