I absolutely LOVE what you are doing with this new bit of carrying on a actual conversation with yourself with Hook it and BUNDESLIGA its AWESOME!!!! 

I think it would be EPIC if you would start a new thread with all your aliases Hook it-BUNDESLIGA  Bring Total Soccer and BLAH BLAH BLAH back from the dead and let them ALL go at it.

Some topics that would be humorous would be stalking AndroFan with your 4 MAIN aliases,  EXPERT ANALYSIS of  ECNL, EVERYTHING about ODP-especially things coaches tell your daughter during tryouts (just to help newbie's know what it takes), maybe throw in a little about how 18 girls is to many on a team, or just how awesome Sting is while incorporating all these topics.  

I always thought me-obsessed and Blah-Blah-Blah were the same person. So Blah-Blah-Blah was also TOM!  Dang Tom I bet you're never bored!  

Dammit!  Insulted once again!

I actually have a confession..................I'm also mslater and "Pixie Trixie" is my stage name.........................

It actually predates Premier League.  Before they had a D3 (and to a lesser degree D2), the # of teams was reduced by 2 every couple of years in an attempt to concentrate the talent to the top of the league.  The final few years were played with 6 D1 teams and you played a combined schedule with the next age group.

The advent of PL and ECNL has changed all that.
