Lemonade Posted December 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I'll do a points update on boxing day. Also from 26th I'll start accepting entrants for next year. Get your team in before 1st January to make sure you've got 365 days of scoring. As of 2017 all picks must have their own Wikipedia page. As usual teams to be sent via private message, here, Facebook, email (ryansimpson667@gmail.com), whatever. You know the rules by now but I'll state them again in the 2017 thread because someone fucks it up every year.

Soda Jerk Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) It's times like these everyone was a lifelong George Michael fan. Just like when Lemmy died, and I'm seeing school mates posting the music video for Ace of Spades, saying "omg RIP Lemmy. This song reminds me of being 13." Fuck off. When you were 13, you were calling me a "mosher" or "greebo" and you were doing dance routines in assembly to the fucking Vengaboys. Eat shit, poser. Name two more Motörhead songs and a Motörhead album, you cunt. Go on. Edited December 26, 2016 by Soda van Jerk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I can't believe I finished 2016 with no points. Of all the celebrities who died this year I couldn't even predict one. I should hand the reins of this competition over to someone worthy. 2017 is now open for entries. Send them via pm here, Facebook, email, whatever, as long as I get it. Post it to me if you want. You have until January 14th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
