 Name a fantasy football team - Fursty Ferret
Been cajoled into joining the work fantasy football league (to make up numbers). I know next to nothing about football and the most pressing matter for me is the team name.

Right now I'm going for "Didsbury Donuts" but looking for other suggestions. I live in Manchester and fly the Airbus for a living - the more gratuitous the puns, the happier I'll be!

Apparently I have £160 million to spend on players. Plan was to spend £159.9 million on a super-yacht and then buy the Rochdale under-15 girls team for a pittance, but apparently it's "not in the spirit" of the game. :-)

Anybody with a Rothmans (Now the SKY guide. Spit) can find the women's FA Cup results.
There is a team called Old Fallopians.

In this neck of the woods, we have Dangerous Darkies, Eleven Men in Flight, Two for Joy, Rabali Blackpool, and KaiZer Chiefs. I wish UK papers would learn the correct spelling of the latter - the reason the band is called KaiSer Chiefs is due to copyright issues. Kaizer Chiefs has probably the biggest registered fanbase in the world.

I recall the biblical X1 - St Peter in goal 'have to be good to get past him', samson 'the pillar of defence', and there was something else about crosses, which may be a bit OTT here...

I like 'snip' from Manatee's list, although I'm guessing its a contribution from VxFan.

At uni in the 90's, my hall had an intramural team with what I thought was a great if time specific name: Everything but the goal.

If they were anything like the band, they must have been very boring to watch. The only pop concert I've been to where everyone sat down (on a hard wooden floor - no seats).
