Hey guys, I just took over Southampton. The best time for me to be free is every night after 10pm, but I can also do some evenings and mornings depending on the day or if that's what's best for someone. Just message me or set it up here if you need me to get free outside of later at night EST.

Will also get my sig and profile updated ASAP so everyone has my tag. Looking forward to playing.

I'm off till Thursday but out of commission Tuesday due to some basketball games. Lets iron out a time Monday or Wednesday to get these knocked out (Monday is better than Wednesday.

Sounds good. I'm also on now if you're free.

I missed this bud I apologize. What's a good time today/tonight/this evening I can look for you and we can knock this game out?

I'm free every night after 10pm, but if that doesn't work I can make time during the day on Wednesday (pretty much any time before 1-2pm).

I added you on XBL, so if you're around at 10, just sign on and I'll be there.

Ill hop on tonight after MNF.

What time zone are you btw?

That works, I'll probably be watching the game and keep the XBL signed in, so I'll come on after that.

I'm in EST.

No go, I'm dozing off sitting here. Hitting the hay will try tomorrow sorry.

No problem, I did the same last night.

I'll be around tonight after 10pm.

Online now if anyone wants to play. If I'm idle or don't respond just send a message or reply here, I'm watching tv and will check in every few minutes.

Week 3 Lille vs Southampton has been played.

What is your availability this week?

Ok lads. Seems like I have a bit of catching up to do. So here's a list of my matches along with a general idea of my availability.

POSTPONED MATCHES:

S1W2:
Mineiro vs Swansea City - cliftonjosh7

Wk.3:
Mineiro vs CSKA Moskva - hammerhead1010

Aston Villa - shootah66 vs Mineiro

S1W4:
Ajax - steven.foster vs Mineiro

THE FOLLOWING IS ALL IN EST!!!

Wed & thurs I will be able to schedule a matches between the hours of 5-9 pm. 9-10 is a possibility if NEED be, but i'd rather get the extra hour of sleep. lol

Weekdays i will always be available between 5am and 6am before i run off to work.

Weekends? Get stuck in. Shoot me a time and i'll make it happen. I just won't be playing during the Merseyside Derby this weekend....and neither should you.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm having a ton of problems finding matches in this league. I've made at least 5 agreements to meet at certain times and every time nobody shows up or doesn't respond to my messages on XBL.

Two matches in two weeks isn't really doing it for me. I know a holiday is coming up but I may have to bow out if this is the regular pace in the league or we can't get some active members.

Although i'm new to this season, I'm not new to the leagues here and I feel your pain. It is hard for some odd reason, which is why the suggestion of opening the schedule has been brought up before. Reason why it didn't go forth is because some felt that others would bow out if someone managed to rack up the points long before others, which would leave a mountain to climb; thus losing the enthusiasm to continue.

That said, i'd like the propose variation of the open schedule.

Fully open up the schedule, but limit the amount of matches per week.

e.g. Rather than 1 member playing two set scheduled matches. One member could play maybe 2, 3 or even 4 matches in one week against whoever is available.

The reason why i think this method would be effective, is because there have been countless amounts of times where i have been online on a night where my scheduled opponent is not available for whatever reason. Sometimes the entire week. However, on those same nights, I've found myself playing numerous friendlies against league opponents, that could have easily been recorded as league matches.

This way, if you do manage to randomly get a hold of someone, you have the option to knock off both home and away legs which is two matches in one sitting. Thus the reason why 4 matches a week with this method ought to be no problem at all. Furthermore, the limitation of the number of matches you can play in one week, eliminates the opportunity for someone to go all out and adding pressure to others who have to catch up.

Sorry for the long post, and i hope everyone gets my drift.

If not, feel free to ask.

Lucky Day
