BOINGBLITZ:
Likewise to you and yours Stuart......it should be a great few days :)

Good Luck Team England..See you at DTD
BOINGBLITZ:
Now that my team is chosen, I would like to say that I was absolutely amazed at the amount of people who applied to play this year.
You may be thinking "wow....were there hundreds ?"
Well no, there were........ermmm..........just nine...........and FIVE of those were BCPC players !!
I really found this astonishing.
I was expecting an absolute flood and it never materialised. Without mentioning any names, I was disappointed to lose one player to holidays, who I would have given a lot of thought to, and several players I hoped would apply, didn"t.
I wasn"t going to ask anyone as I wanted team players who wanted to be there.
As to those who I did not select, 2 players were VERY close to being selected. I changed my mind several times and came very close to choosing one player ahead of myself, but as I have told him today, maybe I took the "easy" option in the end.
The players who were from the BCPC who didn"t get selected gave me a very difficult task indeed ! Obviously, I know them all well and do rate them highly but it would have been very tough to have picked an all-BCPC side for England....even though everyone knows we would have walked it :)
As it is, I hope everyone will see that I tried to make what I considered the best decisions for us as a team and hopefully I can be proved right over the 2 days. Only time will tell.
If you want to come and tell me what a **** I am at DTD, feel free to do so. Everyone else does !!
COME ON ENGLAND !!

Ty so much for this Brian, its a true honour and I promise to do my best for the cause! First live team poker I have played but given the extreme fun we get from the battling and banter in our online leagues this is surly going to be a blast for players and spectators alike!
Simply can"t wait, just one thought comes to mind, will the official "England Tailors" manage to err.. make .. err.. allowances on the generous side ;)
Oh and "COME ON ENGLAND"!

There"s plenty of us out here that would love to be there and who consider themselves team players. However, our results have to back up our application, per your initial request, and so to some extent I think many people de-selected themselves on that basis. So you really shouldn"t be surprised at the lack of entries, please don"t assume that it is a lack of enthusiasm for the team.
As it is you"ve got a team of winners who will push very hard for the title. Good luck to all of you.
COME ON ENGLAND!!
