Talk about a cut-throat bidding war!
I’ve found it difficult to keep track of the bids, to be honest.
I’ve had…two…for the two teams left in the velvet bag…one of which is me.
Shame on you Sotonians.
Well, Kudos and shame in equal measure, but I’m trying to build on the shame thing right now.
You’ve got an hour to go until the bidding is closed and our 32 names are in the hat.
The draw will take place tomorrow (Sunday) morning (hangover permitting).
I hope you’re going to film the draw, so there can be no funny business.
Ooo Lar-dee-dah!
Have they also got twats that post Carlos Fandango videos…wrongly…that break the forum?
Anyway, you can stick your live draw up your arse.
We will have a virtual host.
Our sweepstake draw will be carried out by my digital alter-ego Optimus-Trousers in full 80x25 ASCII terminal glory.
It’ll be his last official act before he goes into a well deserved retirement. RIP.
It’s going to be hilarious. Well quite funny. Well, not shit. Well, a bit shit but at least at the end you’ll know what fucking teams you cheapskates ended up with.
Better* than that.
Optimus Trousers will be given a ‘voice’ and he will host the draw.
I literally** can’t wait***.
* By better, Bletch means different and worse
** @fowllyd will be along in a minute to tell me if this is tautology or redundancy
*** Bletch can and will wait
Do myself, Other Phil and Smiler get the results earlier due to our different timezones or is Optimus Trousers not that clever?
And when is this much anticipated* draw going to take place?
* it isn’t much anticipated
Oh, @bathsaint , I really don’t mind if you don’t read my posts*, but as I posted only a few short moments early

* Bletch does mind
I do like Arthur Ascii
If only that 3rd rate deveoper had made it possible to copy You Tube links on android I wouldn’t have to break the web
@saintbletch could I ask again just when is this draw being made?*
* I do actually know but want to expose his tetchy ageist attitude to anyone recieving a concession for football matches and a bus pass to get them to the ground.
And here was me thinking I had funded the prize for the Sotonian whose sweepstake team has the player who gets the golden boot…
Oh, and believe it or not, I do have a life outside of Sotonians, no really I do, and don’t spend my time glued to the site*
*unlike when I’m at work
Anyone that knows me would tell you that I will patiently answer the same question all day long from Alzheimer’s sufferers.

News just in.
The deadline for bids has been marginally extended and I’ve just had our third bid!
It’s enormous* and might secure the bidder another (Asian) team in the sweepstake.
*Relatively
When’s the draw being made…does anybody know?
Oh fuck off you old cunt.
SEE…blatant ageist attitude…no respect for my failing faculties.
I’ll will just disappear into a dark corner and die.* 
* After the World Cup.
Okay, I am going to offer up a prize (which will not be confirmed until it is sent) to the person drawing the team who concedes the most goals.
This is a real prize and I will post it to the lucky/unlucky winner/loser.
Mrs BS came up with this idea and envisaged it as a wooden spoon prize but, as I pointed out to her, it is possible (albeit unlikely) that the overall winner could also concede the most goals.
Is it a kind of “turd in the post” kind of thing ?
Categorically not.
