1. Monostereo - the boss man, mesmerising with Photoshop, capoeira dancing his way around the server with precise but effortless looking SQL injections. A joy to watch.
  1. Mad Cyril - emerged as a serious contender in recent years but has now peaked? Latest shoes an abomination.
    1. Si - always there alongside Mad Cyril, Si makes up the other of the ‘Banterlux’ countries (aka the PPT/SAF table). Just like Louis van Gaal, a lot of the time no-one knows what the fuck he’s on about. But possibly an enigmatic genius?
    • -si- replied to this.
      1. Millsy - was the best in the business 2008-2012, no question about it. But now his relentless chugball appears dated and tedious as he grinds his gears on the edge of the top bracket, unable to replicate the highs of old.

      (this concludes Part 1 of an 8-part Power Rankings special)

      1. Dermo - incredibly boring and neutral about everything. Stop sitting on the fence, Derm, and let us know your real thoughts about something occasionally. Likes a good wristwatch and fair amount of fondue in his dance music. Will gladly accept income from any morally bankrupt institution.
      1. Smallman - England - Very Tory and extremely stupid. Disliked by the Irish (and people in Manchester and Liverpool) to the point of being glassed or dunked in a river. Everyone’s ‘banter team’.

      7 Grant - won the first ever board Power Rankings in 1934 (18 years after he was born). Always there or thereabouts. Can turn nasty if provoked (by Flares).

        1. Hugo - Zero sense of humour, but never write him off or he’ll relentlessly crush you with a series of 7 long-winded posts of irrefutable logic (by which point everyone will have switched off).

          😆

          That is Edwand haha. Probably when he was an arsenal fan when they won the league and then changed back to Chelsea the year after when he saw decline coming, like the Lovejoy he is.

            Lolz all round Davey. Top work

            Solid stuff Dave, admire your dedication.

            bosstrabs ha, it would be even more fitting if the bloomin’ German bureaucrats pulled their finger out and actually issued me a residence document.

              Will take them years to wade through your “theorem synopsis of application”

                The only one I disagree with is Switzerland/Dermo. His prog credentials and clubbing CV are too strong to be compared to a team who, whilst admittedly solid, have never gone deep in a tournament

                  Mad_Cyril again, that’s amusing, but I think it was only about 2 pages long.

                  Corrected that for you. I still have no idea whether anything he has ever said has been true

                  Haha I’m feeling for you Benson. Must be some sleepless nights involved.

                  Cankles-McJeggings That is Edwand haha. Probably when he was an arsenal fan when they won the league

                  Though it’s a Barnsley shirt.

                  bosstrabs Just like Louis van Gaal, a lot of the time no-one knows what the fuck he’s on about.

                  Lol, cap doffed, dave! Excellent stuff from beginning to end…

                  1. Wally - Argentina - seems strong in attack but has no real defence. Just like the Nazis who settled in Argentina. Just like Wally’s responding to sportwashing accusations.
                    1. Dave Bosstrabs - Denmark - Love of niche branded sportswear incorporating loud designs. Talks a good game but usually ends up going home early (with his last half pint lobbed in the plant pot).
                    1. Zackster - USA - a fresh team saying ‘OK Boomer’ to the previous generations. Recently scandalised by accusations of price gouging for tickets ($168) – the same approach Zack takes to taking rent from the destitute and needy.
                    1. Jules - Croatia - beautiful wives. Hates gays.

                    bosstrabs
                    Lol.

                    My ironing detector went batshit in the football thread yesterday 💣

                    Wal silently FEWMIN, forcing his fingers to the keyboard to type a lower-case lol there

                    Don’t pat yourself on the back too hard there lad. You’ll do yourself an injury.

                    Lol! Nice work, Dave.

                    Fyi - Italy aren’t even “there” at the 2022 World Cup…

                      I’d suggest Japan as an alternative for Grant given it has the highest percentage of its population aged 65 or older of any proper country.

                      hugopal That’s a picture of Uruguay, who did indeed win the first ever world cup. 1930 not 34.

                        Amazingly, that means Grant was actually born in 1912.
