I'd be curious to see that as well. Particularly interested in how the Maya did against various opponents.

As a fan of 'Ancients for Ancients sake' It might be pointed out that some kudos are in order to YMCA for finishing second with some very original army choices.

Well, I've discussed it with the lads and all being fair and us Brits being good sportsmen and all that stuff, the unanimous decision was you can keep Ruddock, he was less use than a carrying handle on a Challenger* anyway



*substitute Abrams if a US citizen, Leopard if Canadian or German, Gérard Depardieu if French.

Well, if you insist, I'm sure that we can find him a decent army and put him to good use (as they say, it takes a squirrely cav-army player to catch a squirrely cav army player), but isn't there some rule against playing for different teams in consecutive years?

Badly done to I am.

I spend my life as a shrinking violet, leading teams to greatness, sacrificing my own personal glory to allow the team to win. This is the thanks I get.

I'm playing for Team GB next year, whether they want me or not! I'll make the swine suffer.

Odds on a Team GB win just lengthened...

Oh, and US Team odds shortened by a similar amount...

The thing is Dave, its easy to kick a man when he's down, but everyone likes to kick you whilst you are up.

Actually I think we like to kick him whether he is up or down.

Is all this just because Hammy isn't playing much ancients these days?

Well, if that's what you want to do, that's your choice. But when they all jump in the cab and run off to the airport leaving you stranded behind, don't come crying to me.

Yes, but that won't be until we're on the way back Matt, leaving him there.
