The Greatest Fantasy Revealed!

Who Will You Put Your Faith In This Season?
How can you not love Fantasy Football?
The twisted joy of listening to a die hard Manc at work berating you because you transferred out Johnny Two Saints because he had a quiet fortnight - just before he scored three in two games.
And you had had him as your captain.
And don't forget the tenuous must go to the pub and watch...'insert unspectacular midweek game'.... as you have half 'your' midfield playing.
Ah, the joy. Well, actually for most of us it's the exasperation and disbelief that your so called multi million pound bankers are virtually pointless and some lunatic from Hull City who was free to a good home has just scored his fifth goal in week.
There are too many fantasy games out there and let's have it right, we've had a dabble at most of them. Here are my findings. Number one - There isn't a game out there worth paying for.
Number Two - Mini leagues are the way forward. There is zero interest or reward knowing that you're 213,886th in an anonymous list. What we want is bragging rights.
The likelyhood of winning the Yacht trip to watch The World Cup Final on a floating astroturf pitch off the coast of Monaco whilst being massaged by Miss World or whatever the main prize is smaller than tiny.
So at least give me something I can get a kick out of participating in.
Well guessy, guessy? The gloriously oversized behemoth of footy websites that is Ole Ole has the answer.
I don't need to explain the individual deals here, suffice it to say, there are five League tournaments you can enter across the global leagues. La Liga your bag? Then why 'go through the motions' just picking a Premiership squad? Good God, you could even 'go French'.
But, if you want to really show off, Ole Ole have the Daddy. The European Super League. Yeah, your pick of all the players in all the leagues in Europe. Maybe there's some else out there insane enough to offer this kind of choice. I haven't found it yet.
The prizes? Prizes? You've always got your hand out.... Over €20,000 worth.
Fandabbydozy Champions League Final Tickets in Rome, tip top accomo and travel all in, anyone?
Replica Shirts, Playstations, Tickets for top European games, Playstation games. There are prizes all the way down to 10th place plus the monthly prizes. This doesn't include the glorious threat of some almost certainly very ropey Ole Ole merchandise.
Here's the link. http://www.oleole.com/fantasyfootball.
Unfortunately, there is only one area where there are NO PRIZES.
And that is the Clever Clogs department. I noticed picking my squad a few errors/ommisions. Luca Modric isn't there, for example. But be assured I have passed on the ones I spotted and we'd be grateful if you'd do the same. That way improvement lies. But coming on here and screaming that we've got Damien Duff down as a goalkeeper and we don't know what we're doing in capital letters only demonstrates you know where your CAPS LOCK button is, but probably don't have a very active sex life (must include human beings outside your immeadiate family to qualify, full terms and conditions available, the blogger's decision is final).
'Harry's Pert, Sweaty Fantasy' League will of course be the most sought after after ticket in town, pfffffffffffft and the secret code is 'oleole'. Guard it with your life and see you there!

Sir Bill,
Did you actually find out what is wrong with Alan Hutton and when he is expected to be back in action?

This blog is more about Harry than Tottenham Hotspur.
You have lost your way Harry Boy.
I know what you mean.. Everytime I look on here its him going on about how great he his... etc etc Wanker..... stop reading these blogs... His a sad little man that sits at home looking at Spurs website around the world for bits of news and then when one bit happens he says how great he is for saying it first.... Twat... So Mr Owl I agree.
However, on a serious note mini leagues are the way forward and Yahoo does have the most established - so thats where you'll me again this season.
