So apparently what I invented in my unwisdom was a transfer window as follows:-

There will be a brief transfer window from 4-8 January in which a player can replace one UPS choice and one DOWN choice.

If you simply put them on this thread as replies, that should be okay.

My only warning would be that replacing a team may not be as easy as you think. Chelsea appear on almost every list and have been a nightmare, but it took Ivanovic precisely five minutes yesterday to transform himself back from being a liability to a goal-scoring defender. Then look at me, I thought I was being so clever being the only one who'd picked Reading to do well - they were second in the Championship and winning almost every week. Did I foresee Steve Clarke would decide to listen to Fulham, that Reading would sack him and the team head down the Championship at a rate of knots?

A supposedly knowledgeable tipster in the Racing Post yesterday described York City as the worst team in professional football. Then they went out and went two up against Morecambe ...... maybe they're on the up and up.
On the grounds that I cant get much worse at this, and taking advice from my grandson, I am going with the following changes:

Ups - Arsenal in, Chelsea out

Downs - Dagenham & Redbridge in, Oxford out

Still leaves me with Leicester in the downs...perhaps I should have asked my grandson at the start of the season...

Merry Christmas to all of you...well at least those below me
Sadly I won't be implementing the changes till the New Year, so Dagenham took your grandson's advice and sacked their manager before you could score 25 points for it. If your grandson wants to change your replacement choice in the light of this just let me know.

At least the first half of the season saved you a lot of Merry Christmases. Let's hope you get a lot of Happy New Years.
I'd like to replace Chesterfield with Coventry in The Uppies and Watford with Aston Villa in The Doonies.

I'd let personal prejudices cloud my better judgment. Rolleyes  Now it's sink or swim time.

Happy New Year to all.
Please replace the following for me:

Ups - Take out Wigan, replace with Coventry
Downs - Take out Accrington, replace with Kidderminster
For me
UPS - Remove Chelsea and replace with Leicester

Downs - Remove Rotherham and replace with Bolton
Please can you change the following for me:

UPS

Replace Chelsea with Leicester

DOWNS

Replace Watford with Hartlepool

Ta
ups: Man utd out, middlesborough in
downs: watford out, aston villa in
UPS - Chelsea out, Middlesbrough in

DOWNS - Accrington out, York in
Man Utd out Boro in
Watford out Villa in
