No, I'm not telling you to switch to iPhone...(Although someone in our league will or probably had tell you to do so) This video is just so hilarious that I have to post it here.

COMLA Draft - Brief Analysis
Thanks to Fantasy Gods, there is actually an internet in the jungle where I stayed at. There is a very slow wifi in the lobby. I repeat VERY SLOW. Take 1 hour to download all my email, but still good enough for blogging.
Comla draft was done on 25th October in probably one of the worst traffic day in Jakarta. Many managers decided to draft in the near by location, some even have use "joki" to draft player. Wandy was having computer problem, which was very strange because a week before that he could draft in ALMOC (thus explained his draft selection since he was using autodraft). He believed he was cursed in COMLA, seem very convincing at this point.
Most analysis were based on thoughts of the discussion in the BB group and myself
| Round 1 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Kevin Durant (OKC - SF) | Shazaam |
| 2. | LeBron James (Mia - SF) | GeNNoSuKe |
| 3. | Chris Paul (NO - PG) | Matoa |
| 4. | Dwight Howard (Orl - C) | iWinner |
| 5. | Steve Nash (Pho - PG) | ConCarne |
| 6. | Jason Kidd (Dal - PG) | The Senior's... |
| 7. | Pau Gasol (LAL - PF,C) | SuperDuck |
| 8. | Deron Williams (Uta - PG) | Gepeng |
| 9. | Stephen Curry (GS - PG) | Gunners |
| 10. | Kobe Bryant (LAL - SG) | Curse Breaker |
| 11. | Josh Smith (Atl - PF) | a d a w n |
| 12. | Dwyane Wade (Mia - PG,SG) | Archaeonz Su... |
R1 analysis:
Surprise pick Nash at 5th and Kidd at 6th. While the reason for nash pick was the infamous misclick (Which I believed Edu is still getting nightmare), the reason behind kidd pick was still.... a mystery.
Others: Wade at 12th, Nick pulled a jackpot here, getting Wade at 12th.
| Round 2 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Danny Granger (Ind - SF,PF) | Archaeonz Su... |
| 2. | Gerald Wallace (Cha - SF,PF) | a d a w n |
| 3. | Dirk Nowitzki (Dal - PF) | Curse Breaker |
| 4. | Carmelo Anthony (Den - SF) | Gunners |
| 5. | Amar'e Stoudemire (NY - PF,C) | Gepeng |
| 6. | Rajon Rondo (Bos - PG) | SuperDuck |
| 7. | David Lee (GS - PF,C) | The Senior's... |
| 8. | Brook Lopez (NJ - C) | ConCarne |
| 9. | Andre Iguodala (Phi - SG,SF) | iWinner |
| 10. | Chauncey Billups (Den - PG) | Matoa |
| 11. | Tyreke Evans (Sac - PG,SG) | GeNNoSuKe |
| 12. | Joakim Noah (Chi - PF,C) | Shazaam |
R2 analysis:
Surprise pick: Noah at 24th. I think Lung2 made a good decision drafting a PF/C and PG (later on the 3rd round), since he already have Durant as SF. It's interesting though he choose Noah, over Bosh, Love and Jefferson and many other PF/C
Others: Dirk at 14th, I won't call it a steal, but most league Dirk would have been gone in 1st round.
| Round 3 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Russell Westbrook (OKC - PG) | Shazaam |
| 2. | Kevin Love (Min - PF,C) | GeNNoSuKe |
| 3. | Monta Ellis (GS - PG,SG) | Matoa |
| 4. | Joe Johnson (Atl - SG,SF) | iWinner |
| 5. | Al Jefferson (Uta - PF,C) | ConCarne |
| 6. | Tim Duncan (SA - PF,C) | The Senior's... |
| 7. | Derrick Rose (Chi - PG) | SuperDuck |
| 8. | Brandon Roy (Por - SG,SF) | Gepeng |
| 9. | Chris Bosh (Mia - PF,C) | Gunners |
| 10. | Marcus Camby (Por - PF,C) | Curse Breaker |
| 11. | Blake Griffin (LAC - PF) | a d a w n |
| 12. | Al Horford (Atl - PF,C) | Archaeonz Su... |
R3 analysis:
Surprise pick Camby at 34th pick, While it's no doubt Camby can produce a 2nd round value, can he maintain over the season? Will Oden get better and reduce Camby play time? Only time will tell
Griffin at 35th, Big hype on the rookie, did well in preseason, Seem to make many believe in him and adawn was certainly one of them.
Others: Rose getting drafted after evans and westbrook?
| Round 4 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Andrea Bargnani (Tor - PF,C) | Archaeonz Su... |
| 2. | Roy Hibbert (Ind - C) | a d a w n |
| 3. | Zach Randolph (Mem - PF,C) | Curse Breaker |
| 4. | Stephen Jackson (Cha - SG,SF) | Gunners |
| 5. | David West (NO - PF) | Gepeng |
| 6. | Andray Blatche (Was - PF,C) | SuperDuck |
| 7. | Troy Murphy (NJ - PF,C) | The Senior's... |
| 8. | Carlos Boozer (Chi - PF,C) | ConCarne |
| 9. | Andrew Bogut (Mil - C) | iWinner |
| 10. | Paul Pierce (Bos - SG,SF) | Matoa |
| 11. | Marc Gasol (Mem - C) | GeNNoSuKe |
| 12. | John Wall (Was - PG) | Shazaam |
R4 analysis:
Surprise pick Hibbert at 38th. Monstrous performance in pre-season. Adawn really a big believer in Pre-Season.
Others: Blatche was the first player getting drafted out of Washington, interesting. Wall at 48th pick seem to be a good investment
Coming up soon on: R5-R8 analysis. Volunteer analyzer needed.

ALMOC last interview... Ken
Finally managed to get interview with Ken
So here was his player with the first pick
W: How did you felt getting the first draft pick and with durant? what is your aim this season?
A: Durant was no brainer, once LBJ was in heat. Getting the1st pick was great, it was my 1st time getting it. Regarding my aim for this seson, since it's my first season in Roto a mid table would be more than a lesson for me
W: I know it's early in the season, how do you feel this league competitiveness with other league you have played with?
A: In terms of competitiveness, you guys are incomparable, It'll be a tough one in this league
W: The most favorite player in your team, in term of draft position? Least favorite?
A: Al Horford was a nice pick for me. He's solid, growing and reliable. While Bynum was a bit of a regret. This is my 3rd season and he's been injured most of that
W: How bout from other team?
A: Well in terms of keepers, none better than Mr Curry at 9th, but team wise Sofi seems to be strong contender
W: As an expert in online world, any suggestion for our new blog?
A: Haven't been looking at the blog lately, but last time I saw it was decent. No flashy colors or out of place content so as long as the content can be kept in a constant stream it would be really helpful, especially to newbie like me :) so plz for the expert keep on giving great unbiased tips hehehe
W: Thanks, any last word?
A: My goal here at least to kick Mr Fufu Ass!
W: Strong last words, thanks Ken

New Poll for COMLA
Great Draft last night
Wish I was in the comfort of my bedroom with two computers doing the draft, but I improvised with computer from the business center of the hotel. Improvisation is a good skill I learned very well from fantasy basketball in managing teams when $)-(!+ happened. (See? Who says you don't learn new things playing fantasy?)
New poll is now available for COMLA, remember to vote.

Wi's Crystal Ball
Once upon a time... Actually a few years ago, I've met a strange guy. He offered to sell me a crystal ball for ... I forgot how much, I remembered it wasn't expensive. Anyway, he told me, this crystal ball can see the future, yadda yadda yadda... but you can only look at one subject. The thoughts of seeing the future of stocks exchange, lottery number, future playmate of the year, and many other crossed my mind, but finally I told him I want to see the future of fantasy basketball (I dont know why...)
Long story short... here what the Crystal Ball tell me after our draft in ALMOC
1. Best FG% = R o t o D a w n
2. Best FT% = Bellepue
3. Best 3PM = Wasabi Bistro
4. Best PTS = Gunners
5. Best REB = Bellepue
6. Best AST = Havana
7. Best STL = Bitch Slappers <edited: I put adawn before, sorry. should have been neil's team>
8. Best BLK = Bellepue
9. Best TO = Archaeon 360
You think your team should be on this list?

The 11-11-11 Interview.... with Koyan
Sofian got the 7th picked and his drafted player are:
W: You caused a stir by picking Gasol in your first round, some even say you changed the course of first round draft, your opinion on this?
A: If I took Deron, Dono would pick Gasol and bun will take STATS. I dont think it would be much different result. I think internet connection in FX who changed the course of first round pick. Gasozilla FTW!!
W: Personally I am not quite surprise, you had Gasol last season, I always assumed you would take him again
A: Gasol in comla kow
W: Oh yeah, hahaha my bad.
Anyway...next q, Of all the 13 players you selected, who do you like the most based on their draft position and who you like the least?
A: I must say John Wall. I expected to pick Westbrook becoz he's the only good PG. So I panic and the next PG on the list is John Wall. I think it's too early. I like J.J Hickson as he'll be a starter in Cleveland and Neil's Mancrush Jamison goes to bench. And I regret taking Magette as my Keeper
W: Westbrook was picked 2 spots before you. Ouch. I do think Wall is a good pick though, a little high, but I dont think you can get him in 4th round. and yes I like you Hickson picked too, quite a steal.
Other that westbrook, any other player that was picked just a few spots before your turns?
A: Maybe Yao...
W: Wow... Cekui stole both of your targets with westbrook, and yao, Got any comments for him?
A: F**k you, Kui!!! lol
He has a lot of potential draft pick in a late round. But his team has too many guard. I salute him for such improving draft pick compare to last year
W: Absolutely, Kui definitely make a lot of improvement compared to last year. The force is strong with that young padawan. Next q, Who do you think is the steal or the bust/overvalue in this year draft, other than the one already mentioned?
A: Overvalue is Cousins and the steal is Taj Gibson on 13th round even though it's for temporary
W: In an earlier interview, Another player said you f**d him, any comments?
A: The duck will f**k the bunny rofl
W: I prefer playmate bunny myself
A: playmate bunny better
W: your impression on this year draft?
A: Too balance too competitive too slow
W: last thoughts or comments?
A: Thank God It's October
Thanks koyan
Next interview will cover the Comish of COMLA take on this year COMLA outlook

2 in 1 Interviews no 9th And 10th With The Bro's
I'm actually started with Ossin, then Ossan online 5 minutes later. LoL. Since I'm interviewed them at the same time, just thought it's a good idea to combine their interviews. Many similar answers, Do you both share same cheat sheet or you read each other mind? :p
Start with Ossin picked at 6th
W= Wi, Si = Ossin, Sa = Ossan
W: Free?
Si: Reading kui's intv
W: hahaha Once you are done, do you have time to do Q&A for your team?
Si: its ok letd do it now, kui can wait
W: ok
Si: No good center and no good pg... too many playa in the same team
sums up my draft day
i blame makoli too... help me get more confused
W: LOL, how do you feel about kobe in first round? I thought you hate kobe?
Si: i tot edu is in our league... again makoli it to blame
W: What or who is makoli?
Si: makoli is korea rice wine... yummmmehhh
W: Oh ok, next q, Of all the 13 players you selected, who do you like the most based on their draft position and who you like the least?
Si: I like melo and dont like ibaka. should've been sessions instead of ibaka.... makoli damn uuuuuu
W: Can you tell me more about this makoli? is it nice? you were having it alone?
Si: Im planning to celebrate earlyl with my non fantasy frends. I had soju i mind but makoli is what they choose. Only 6% alcohol. i tot is ok since i hv to focus on the draft, instead i got dizzier by the bowl... yes we use bowl like the one u saw in kungfu movie...
W: How interesting, we should go there next time
Si: But the one in korea is nicer tho... koyan can testify also... hmmmm makoli...
W: I dont mind going to korea for makoli too
Any other player that you hope to draft and yet stolen just a few picks just before your turn?
Si: Should have taken stuckey instead of udrih. also one other center i cant remember who... i was looking for pg and c after i pick griffin...
ooo scola... i was gunnning for scola...
shouldve taken scola instead of garnett
W: yes scola would have been better IMO too
On the other team, Who are the value pick (steal) on given their draft position? and who are the potentail bust (overvalued)?
Si: i like sessions. cousins i think is too high
W: In other interview, i ask one member a similar question
and his answer was "i actualy laughed when guner picked bibby"
care to comments back?
Si: yah i was looking for assist. and bibby is a starter.... if i pick sessions, i wouldnt pick bibby... again blame makoli...
W: how do you feel about drafing in public place? no different?
Si: better than home actually... lucky wifi is more reliable than fx....
Wi: what's your impresion about this year draft?
Si: overall quite balance... lets hope someone pull a koyan this year and i will be there to wi it....
W: some say you should have go with 1 keeper instead of 2, any regrets?
Si: ya thornton is a gamble... hopefully he can produce
W: ok last q, any impression on this year draft?
Si: we shud try to draft in same room next time... this year draft takes too long... almost 2 hrs...
W: yea, but that's because of the FX team
Si: curse of the non bb team maybe?
W: hahahaha maybe
OK I'm going to stop here and continue with Ossan first before later coming back to Ossin again with one last comment
Let's look at Ossan pick at 4th:
W: i see uuuuSa: Yessssssssss
W: hahahaa
ready to do the q and a?
Sa: Shoot
W: How do you feel about dirk? strategy behind it?
Sa: At 4th dirk wunderkind is spot on for me. His all around awesomeness in roto is legendary. With him, basically any strategy will do
W: Cool answer
Of all the 13 players you selected, who do you like the most based on their draft position and who you like the least?
Sa: Odom I think is a good bargain for me, especially with bynum out, hopefully he will be recognised as an allstar this year, as I believe all my players will. Least favorite is neil's mancrush. I cursed away straight after I clicked on him. Doh!
W: be gentle on him kosan, old owner no longer wanted him and now cursed by a new owner. kinda hard for him to take in a short time
next Q: Any other player that you hope to draft and yet stolen just a few picks just before your turn?
Sa: Blake griffin at 4th, I know rookie is overvalued this year but I believe BG will finish top 20 this year. Antawn need to prove he's worth a spot on my team, for now he is in my doghouse. Hopefully he won't cost me championships.
W: ah stolen by own brother... how tragic
i think you guys think too much alike on griffin
On the other team, Who are the value pick (steal) on given their draft position? and who are the potentail bust (overvalued)?
Sa: Actually my guess on his pick is spot on up to BG
Steal I would say your chicken curry kowww.. For actual draft will be deJuan, provided tiago doesn't play. Bust could be antrand, his potential will not be fulfilled this year. He will do prove his value next season, when I pick him
W: you mentioned you dont like jamison, yet you picked him very high at 5th round? why?
Sa: I was looking for a good SF since I only have jrich, at that turn I couldn't find a better versatile SF that could deliver me the goods but him. I dunno why but I regretted it the time I clicked him and it was justified this morning when I read news coach scott will deploy neil's mancrush as 6th man. Wtf!!
Ya boy, I wish neil will remember his mancrush with me and hopefully we can do some business
W: lol, i am cracking so hard as we speak
some say you made the right choice with only 1 keeper yet, manage to get a quality sleeper, do you agree?
or do you feel disadvantage with 1 keeper?
Sa: Any keeper is an advantage to us, so having only 1 keeper was pretty sux. Couldn't complain with collison though, that boy is gonna be alriteeeeeee.. I believe he can lead GeNNoSuKe to the promised land
W: ok last q, what's your impression on this year draft?
Sa: Very well managed draft by our commish, well done!
W: Thank you, you are 1/5 of commish too. thank you back

Si: Reading kui's intv
W: hahaha Once you are done, do you have time to do Q&A for your team?
Si: its ok letd do it now, kui can wait
W: ok
Si: No good center and no good pg... too many playa in the same team
sums up my draft day
i blame makoli too... help me get more confused
W: LOL, how do you feel about kobe in first round? I thought you hate kobe?
Si: i tot edu is in our league... again makoli it to blame
W: What or who is makoli?
Si: makoli is korea rice wine... yummmmehhh
W: Oh ok, next q, Of all the 13 players you selected, who do you like the most based on their draft position and who you like the least?
Si: I like melo and dont like ibaka. should've been sessions instead of ibaka.... makoli damn uuuuuu
W: Can you tell me more about this makoli? is it nice? you were having it alone?
Si: Im planning to celebrate earlyl with my non fantasy frends. I had soju i mind but makoli is what they choose. Only 6% alcohol. i tot is ok since i hv to focus on the draft, instead i got dizzier by the bowl... yes we use bowl like the one u saw in kungfu movie...
W: How interesting, we should go there next time
Si: But the one in korea is nicer tho... koyan can testify also... hmmmm makoli...
W: I dont mind going to korea for makoli too
Any other player that you hope to draft and yet stolen just a few picks just before your turn?
Si: Should have taken stuckey instead of udrih. also one other center i cant remember who... i was looking for pg and c after i pick griffin...
ooo scola... i was gunnning for scola...
shouldve taken scola instead of garnett
W: yes scola would have been better IMO too
On the other team, Who are the value pick (steal) on given their draft position? and who are the potentail bust (overvalued)?
Si: i like sessions. cousins i think is too high
W: In other interview, i ask one member a similar question
and his answer was "i actualy laughed when guner picked bibby"
care to comments back?
Si: yah i was looking for assist. and bibby is a starter.... if i pick sessions, i wouldnt pick bibby... again blame makoli...
W: how do you feel about drafing in public place? no different?
Si: better than home actually... lucky wifi is more reliable than fx....
Wi: what's your impresion about this year draft?
Si: overall quite balance... lets hope someone pull a koyan this year and i will be there to wi it....
W: some say you should have go with 1 keeper instead of 2, any regrets?
Si: ya thornton is a gamble... hopefully he can produce
W: ok last q, any impression on this year draft?
Si: we shud try to draft in same room next time... this year draft takes too long... almost 2 hrs...
W: yea, but that's because of the FX team
Si: curse of the non bb team maybe?
W: hahahaha maybe
OK I'm going to stop here and continue with Ossan first before later coming back to Ossin again with one last comment
Let's look at Ossan pick at 4th:
| GeNNoSuKe | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | (4) | Dirk Nowitzki (Dal - PF) |
| 2. | (21) | Al Jefferson (Uta - PF,C) |
| 3. | (28) | Monta Ellis (GS - PG,SG) |
| 4. | (45) | Jason Richardson (Pho - SG,SF) |
| 5. | (52) | Antawn Jamison (Cle - SF,PF) |
| 6. | (69) | Lamar Odom (LAL - SF,PF) |
| 7. | (76) | Al Harrington (Den - PF,C) |
| 8. | (93) | Elton Brand (Phi - PF,C) |
| 9. | (100) | Jarrett Jack (Tor - PG,SG) |
| 10. | (117) | Darren Collison (Ind - PG) |
| 11. | (124) | Austin Daye (Det - SG,SF) |
| 12. | (141) | Josh McRoberts (Ind - PF,C) |
| 13. | (148) | Marco Belinelli (NO - SG) |
W: i see uuuu
W: hahahaa
ready to do the q and a?
Sa: Shoot
W: How do you feel about dirk? strategy behind it?
Sa: At 4th dirk wunderkind is spot on for me. His all around awesomeness in roto is legendary. With him, basically any strategy will do
W: Cool answer
Of all the 13 players you selected, who do you like the most based on their draft position and who you like the least?
Sa: Odom I think is a good bargain for me, especially with bynum out, hopefully he will be recognised as an allstar this year, as I believe all my players will. Least favorite is neil's mancrush. I cursed away straight after I clicked on him. Doh!
W: be gentle on him kosan, old owner no longer wanted him and now cursed by a new owner. kinda hard for him to take in a short time
next Q: Any other player that you hope to draft and yet stolen just a few picks just before your turn?
Sa: Blake griffin at 4th, I know rookie is overvalued this year but I believe BG will finish top 20 this year. Antawn need to prove he's worth a spot on my team, for now he is in my doghouse. Hopefully he won't cost me championships.
W: ah stolen by own brother... how tragic
i think you guys think too much alike on griffin
On the other team, Who are the value pick (steal) on given their draft position? and who are the potentail bust (overvalued)?
Sa: Actually my guess on his pick is spot on up to BG
Steal I would say your chicken curry kowww.. For actual draft will be deJuan, provided tiago doesn't play. Bust could be antrand, his potential will not be fulfilled this year. He will do prove his value next season, when I pick him
W: you mentioned you dont like jamison, yet you picked him very high at 5th round? why?
Sa: I was looking for a good SF since I only have jrich, at that turn I couldn't find a better versatile SF that could deliver me the goods but him. I dunno why but I regretted it the time I clicked him and it was justified this morning when I read news coach scott will deploy neil's mancrush as 6th man. Wtf!!
Ya boy, I wish neil will remember his mancrush with me and hopefully we can do some business
W: lol, i am cracking so hard as we speak
some say you made the right choice with only 1 keeper yet, manage to get a quality sleeper, do you agree?
or do you feel disadvantage with 1 keeper?
Sa: Any keeper is an advantage to us, so having only 1 keeper was pretty sux. Couldn't complain with collison though, that boy is gonna be alriteeeeeee.. I believe he can lead GeNNoSuKe to the promised land
W: ok last q, what's your impression on this year draft?
Sa: Very well managed draft by our commish, well done!
W: Thank you, you are 1/5 of commish too. thank you back
Sa: I meant head commish, u kowwwww..
OK now here are the part where I ask both of them same questions during the interview at the same time in different msn windows
W: Ok, Any last thought or comments?
Sin: Go go gunners!!
San: Last thought : Go GeNNoSuKe !!!!
Sin: kamsia kow
San: Tq head commish
W: thanks ko sin
W: thanks kosan
LMAO at the last thoughts
The 8th Interview. Yours Truly - Wi
There were time where I thought I'm gonna have to be narcissist where I ask question and answer it myself. Luckily Neil offers came at the right time. So here goes..
Wi's Team:
N: Since you haven't done the Q&A, i'm volunteering to do it so you can post it on the blog too
W: ah nice
thanks for volunteering
fire the question away...
N: some people were questioning why you would pick kidd as your 1st pick since he's pretty old. what's the reasoning behind that?
W: Firstly, Not much left when i'm picking 11th, I have a choice between kidd and g. wallace. And I have a feeling Nick will pick a PG in one of his back-to-back pick. I took calculated risk, knowing he already have landry and gallinari as sf, he wouldn't pick another SF (Gerald) again. Boy I was wrong.
Secondly he was on my team last year, though he is old. Last 3 years he ONLY missed 5 games! That's less than kobe, wade, cp3, deron, jj, rondo (all the top guards)
N: Would you have done it differently if you could do it again?
A: Nope, I rather have kidd than crash <pun intended)
N: Who do you like most and least out of your draft?
W: Based on draft ranking, I would say allen and AK at 83 and 86. I would have picked either of them when I was picking my 6th round at 62. So happy when they are still available after 21 picks later
N: why didn't you take them at 6th?
W: In my cheat sheet, terry was ranked only 2 or 3 spots higher than allen and AK. I saw an article where terry promised to try to be 6th man of the year again, that's quite a motivation.
N: true that...
W: The least... hm boozer
I aimed for Duncan, west and murphy, duncan picked up 5 picks before me, west 3 picks and murphy 1 pick.
I was faced with either nene or boozer. Went with boozer instead although not sure how soon his hand will be 100%
N: So i guess the ones that got away were duncan, west and murphy. anyone else?
W: I actually dont mind without duncan, west or murphy
but the one that really got away is terrence williams
boy at that moment i wish i dont have to keeper blatche
i feel that guy will do wonder. Cekui have a big steal with him at round 10.
N: anyone else?
W: No that's it
Wait, I like to go back to previous question
I drafted and hated wilson chandler last year, and swore at him the most
yet i dont know why i picked him again. sigh....
i think i dislike him more than boozer
N: hahaha... everyone has their own jamison i guess
W: i guess
N: How do you feel having curry as a keeper? how big of an advantage will that make?
W: Im excited with him for now and 2 more years I can keep him as keeper. He is the only reason that make me feel I still have a chance in almoc. I do not think he is the first ronder though. He can't repeat with close to 45 minutes like last season, not without nellie, not with monta healthy this season and not with lee on their team. I do think he is a great 3rd rounder though
I would like to thank Sofi for drafted him so late in the round and put him nicely in FA, and for Adawn who told me S jax got traded. And for everyone who picked morrow, maggette after the news and left Curry alone for me that year.
from the buttom of my heart, I thank you all
N: hehehe..
ok, finally.. what do you think of last night's draft?
W: It went quite well IMO, apart from what happen with you, fu and bun
First time for me where everyone are there on the draft day and no autodraft. As Fu and Nick said it, It's very balance draft, everyone have similar strength. It'll be depends on the FA and season management.
N: ok. CUT! that's a wrap... thanks wi
W: ok thanks Neil
