FILL THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF BANTER
Tumblr media
I left this photoshop looking like this cause Rowan here looks like a FIFA99 render....or the render of fans in FIFA13 when they were added....hahahaha
I know what you’re thinking...ye of little faith...you really thought it wasn’t going to happen. But here it is, the main event, what you’ve all been waiting for. It’s the Bush League, Merry Bushmas Christmas Update 2017 2018!
Tumblr media
As we head into the holiday bumper period, the Bush is at it’s most competitive and funnest yet. Through Logan ‘Champ squared’ McIndoe stands ahead of the pack with a dominant 7 point lead, the spots below in the top 8 are all to play for. Looking at the table above the point differentials and the wins are tasty as fuck to say the least. With regular suspects Logan, George and (on the odd occasion Harry), The top 8 has some interesting new contenders. Let’s all get up and sing for the man of the hour Guy Ethell who now sits in the top 8 (through at least 10 games) for the first time in two seasons. From the strong Wooden Spoon magnet to now a championship contender, what else is more empowering, inspiring, than a rise to glory in the Bush from someone who has been known as a serial power bottom dweller.
Tumblr media
We must mention that at this point of the season, after some research and painstaking folder diving, that I have concluded that at this stage of the season, this is the highest average scoring season we have had in recorded Bush history. With three managers in the top 50,000 users of fantasy premier league, and a majority (top 16) of the league in the top 30% of fantasy users in the world...we’ve all really gotta give each other some credit. We’ve come a long way and we’re proud to be apart of the Bush. Well done lads...except you blokes at the bottom...you’re making us all look better but making the league suck....like Sunderland when they were in the Prem. 
Tumblr media
But, back to our honourable mentions. We gotta say that two lads who are up and at em are the Tally Tiger Cornerstones Alex “ST/CAM/RW” Horne and and Danny “Ghost Coach” Cotton who each are climbing to staggering heights. Unfortunately, at this stage nose bleeds are all too common and the top 8 sit very close to the next 8 players who are all 6 points or less behind and the next 8 only 9 points or less out of the top 8... CRAZY STUFF.
Tumblr media
Down the bottom of the league sits David O’Carroll, now resident bottom bitch after the last two seasons. He used to be a huge force as MVFC, but now, in the Bush’s twisting mess, he has succumbed to casting couch bitch as pillow necklace FC....fitting name really? Let us also not forget our 26th place superstar...former champion...serial passworder...and now resident in the worst photoshop in bush History...the main article photo is not my proudest moment :’(. Rowan “Underage” Flanagan has hit his lowest point. Sitting more than 4 wins off the top 8 and seemingly unable to catch a break. To be honest, if this reporter had his way, he would be on the receiving end of a lot more banter for it. He’s lost 4 in a row, with his most recent defeat being an absolute thrashing by Brock “ashamed Arsenal supporter” Lamont by 83-41. Jeez. Let’s all point and laugh...at least he’s got a good pornstar moustache.
Tumblr media
Also Shoutouts are due to Mr Madde “Mr Manager” Bowshire for what can only be described as the most topsy turvy season I’ve watched in a while. One has to wonder if he’s left the Premier League Fantasy app behind as he’s been up, then down, then up and now back down in the bellows of the Bush where he’s made his home for the past Bush Seasons. We reach to him now for comment, tell us all what the plan is, what went wrong and where to now Bowshire? WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED. WHY WON���T YOU JUST FUCKING DO IT?!
Tumblr media
We’re in for a rocky ride this festive season as the fixtures come thick and fast, including some double game weeks right around the corner. AND WILDCARD 2.0 available from the 1st of January!!! In the words of number 1 influential rap recording artist.... LETSKEETTTTIIIIITTT
EASTER EGG TOPIC: RANK MANC VS ABRAMOVIC’S FAVE BUM BUDDY
Tumblr media
Bit of a weird headline I know but hey, It’s difficult to sum up the Man City vs Chelsea rift brewing in the league. Harry “Hazard’s Dick Would Be My Lollipop” Kennedy and Riley “I Am The Whiney Misso” Guest have been going head to head. Much to Max “Box On” Haggarty’s delight, the two have been debating the plight of Hazard vs De Bruyne to no end with hilarious results. To stoke the flames the Bush Times asks all of you to weigh in, in the comments of this article, about this fight, about the stats, and to egg on these two to actually “boxing on”. Here’s the stats:

ROLLING THUNDER: BUSH LEAGUE HEATS UP THROUGH ROUNDS TWO AND THREE.
Tumblr media
If anything, the last two rounds of The Bush have showed managers that no two weeks can be the same. Harrison “Is Don is Good” Kennedy and Ben “sit on my face” Petersen are the two managers alone at the top much to the dislike of the inconsistent fellow managers. MASSIVE scores in round 2 all around the table were snuffed out by a terrible average in week 3. From a BIG statement in Logan’s 105 point scoring thrashing over Brody, to the high score of 64 of Chris and his BBB’s this week, let alone 4 Wildcards dropped - the last two rounds have set the stage for a sensational, theatrical year of The Bush.
Let’s start with the elephant in the room, Logan “Where’s the weekly” McIndoe’s massive, and quite clearly gratifying domination over GW2 and Brody “must.beat.logan.” Felgate. 105 to 64. A waste of a triple captain some may say this early, or the fact that he would have won regardless without it. Nonetheless, a victory where you take the other players chip and shove it up his clack is about as good as it gets. Well played Logan, we’re talking to ourselves as you don’t read these but troll when they’re not done (logic), regardless, well played.
Tumblr media
That happiness will last all season with bragging rights no doubt, though Logan’s top dog status didn’t last long. Opting for an Aguero captain let him and many FPL managers down in a controversial draw over the Wolves, ultimately giving Chris “Hayne is our best player kill me” Kennedy and Salah a bit of revenge from last weeks captain battle.
Tumblr media
Quiet underachiever since his debut in the Bush, Chris “former Vinny D” Keen has picked up we believe his second TOTW in his teams short history. The Big Booty Bitches, Big, Big Booty Bitches, we want Big Booty Bitches (had to) - scored the highest points in GW3 sitting at 64 to get his season off the mark. Some outstanding selections made hopefully a rise from the dark for Chris.
Historically the Bush is a place for excitement and a lot of the time, excessive excitement (*cough* Brody *cough*). This becomes ever so clear in the case of wildcards. In the past few seasons, many managers have decided to fall on the sword of the early wildcard in fits of frustration and sadness following early week results. This trend hath continued this week; Rowan, Tim, Morgan and Danny all felt the pressure enough to completely change their team ahead of GW3 after tumultuous starts to their campaigns. It only paid off for two teams, leaving Tim and Rowan without a win, without a wildcard and sadly, without hope. The Bush community is here for anyone suffering selection depression, your fellow managers are here for you lads, onwards and upwards.
Rowan “domesticated” Flanagan, a former Bush champ, thought he’d do a cheeky one for the CSKA derby, great tactic, then comes the team selection... absolute trash. Flanagan and his Doumbia’s went from a 67 scoring team to a 31 scoring team with some questionable transfers. For example getting rid of Tripper (22 points last two) for the likes of a three man defence that scored 9. Loyalty to United obviously masked the stupidity of such decisions and fair enough the post wildcard team is good on paper. It just doesn’t justify such drastic decisions this early when the GW2 team wasn’t bad at all. The Dons came through on the back of Liverpool and Captain “safe” Salah, a decision Harry has finally learnt is a smart one after avoiding Salah for 25 Game weeks last year. Don’s are 3/3 so far and may just get his first ever MOTM nomination since the introduction in BUSH 3.
Tumblr media
Sitting on top with The Dons is everyone’s fan favourite Ben Petersen. Ben gave it to the critics after ‘easy’ wins against Blake and Chris to go on to beat struggling former champ Brock Lamont. The Mooys struggled up front unlike Harry “tap, tap, tap it in” Kane did not. To make it 4/4, the Bigotes are taking on Kirby’s Loftus-Cheeks which will be no easy task after a strong week from them. Kirby did everyone a favour and silenced James “Posting gifs of city is banter right?” McIndoe this week with a solid win, thank-you kind sir.
“I’ll crack the tonne this week” - Tim Sheehan, before realising he will indeed, not even crack half a tonne.
Tumblr media
Tim isn’t mad he’s just disappointed in himself and his team after their performance against The Coach, Danny Cotton. Both managers opted for their wildcard with Danny prevailing sending Tim to the shadow realm (the realm of no wins - ask Riley Guest, he lives there). The real shocker here is that... 3 weeks in, Danny has used his FREE HIT and his WILDCARD. After losing by 2 points in the first round Danny must have been LIVID at his team and went nah fuck this, all chips a go let’s get it. Strange tactics, how many chips left? 32 rounds left? Do the math boys, it doesn’t add up but we’re rooting for you Coach.
Phenomenons happen every now and then in sport, much to the favour of punters (you know who you are), sometimes they pay off, sometimes you’re sitting there wondering why you’ve spent your last dollar on a Japanese badminton heat. Nobody could have predicted Mitch “no.1 ticket holder to Rowan’s live show ‘If there’s grass on the pitch play cricket’” Keen, who this week pulled off a SECOND draw in a row. Frustrating, though competitive, if he gets a third he should 100% buy a lottery ticket.
It’s not very often in the Bush that a risk pays off dividends. It’s what keeps us at the times in business...reporting on the failure in a terrific fashion. This week however the exception has been filed. Take a bow Mr. Blake “I Shit You Not” Hands for what is the managerial manoeuvre of the decade. A -16 POINT HIT LEADING TO A “GOOD OLD FASHIONED GEORGE W”. Mr Hands said it best in the post match presser saying “it’s like playing with 10 men against Wolves and still winning the game”. We bow to you sir for your brilliant win and for defying the system during a week where early wildcards are the object of criticism. Congratulations...we’re getting used to this winner in our midst (Even if he’s a fucking choker). Kudos. 
Tumblr media
A congratulations is in order to Morgan Witts and the Hurrikanes - a very first Bush win. A momentous occasion for any manager and one that will live with him forever. A win over the GC tigers thanks to solid selections in defence and dark horse Pereyra has him on the board and now optimistic with what’s to come. He joins 11 other teams on 3 points in what we like to call the ‘Danger Zone’. A win here would catapult any team into mid table success, a loss would hurt them tremendously.
Speaking of the Daaaanger Zooooone (Sung like Archer, if you don’t get it i hate you), let’s take a look at the members and their situations.
Tumblr media
Brody - GW1, got TOTW. Since then used Triple Captain and lost twice.
Madde - Won his first with big score, lost two in a row
Reid - Finally sorted his bench and has won first game of season.
Brock - Has 1 win 2 losses, only win against wooden spooner Guy.
David - First win of the season this week.
Max - 1 from 3, questionable captaincy to only united players so far...
Blake - Very lucky to get a win this week, 1/3 and one of lowest scoring starts in Bush history.
Bush GW4 is underway this weekend lads - go make bad decisions and most of all, stay classy.

STRIKE MALFUNCTION
 Defenders and Mids dominate the opening round of the Bush. GW1 in the Bush
Tumblr media
Not a striker to be seen with double digits, a MASSIVE 9 defenders had that pleasure along with 6 mids. Some banging potentials for investment are on the cards with Wan Bissaka suuurely at the top of the list (4mil for 12 points, value, value, value). Mane and Pereyra shared equal top scorer this week both with outrageous performances. 34 bonus points between defenders is absolutely insane. If this new age beast mode defender of the EPL doesn’t get you stiffer than Rowan at a Wiggles concert, then I don’t know what will.
The ache of the past couple months has subsided and the EPL/The Bush, is back. With some tasty fixtures on the cards the hypothetical swordplay of dicks between the lads had been at an all-time high. Anticipation for what’s to come with the newbies, what’s to come from the big men and can the reigning champion despite media attention lead his lil boat of fags the ESKITITTTT’s (you bastard if you bless us by reading this) back up his form? We’re back boys.
 It’d be rude not to mention Brody’s first decent week since Bush 2. I know what you’re thinking, here comes the biased, self-applauded writing about one of the “admins”, Absolutely not. Brody welcomed himself back to the ‘Pink Socks’ with that goddamn song and the boys from the McIndoe clan summed it up perfectly with “Fuck up” and “Just sick of seeing this shit”. Despite the song, Brody started the season well with a massive 83 points to make the Socks the Bush TOTW. With a comfortable 15 (Mendy) points on the bench, a huge pre-season of meticulous research seems to have done the trick in a clean slate for Brody. If anyone actually read that song – what stuck out to me is ‘WHAT IS PINK SHALL NEVER DIE’, any Game of Thrones fans think that sounds similar? It is, it’s clearly related to the Ironborn motto ‘WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE’. These people are led by a man who got his meat sword chopped and his lesbian sister. The whole think reeks Felgate. Next week – Can Logan stop Brody from ‘forcing’ him to read his songs? The ‘I Should be at least a champ’ vs the certified Champ Champ. Both started with a win, place your bets. Logan paying $1.01 to not read this at all in a special.
 Now to our dud of the week, everyone’s favourite choking hazard, Blake Hands. The man basically gave a win to debutant James ‘City has legends’ McIndoe in what is an absolute shocking effort. If Ederson didn’t play as well as he did, A MERE 15 POINTS would have been his score. Blake captained De Brunye, which was risky to start with, though NO SALAH? NO SALAH MO PROBLEMS. Liverpool supporter, who gets… SHAQIRI OVER SALAH. I’m lost for words. Nothing went well for TDC this week, but he defended himself with the classic “it’s a marathon not a sprint”, truth. Macca didn’t have a massive week; a win is a win and next week he has his chance to prove himself a contender against fellow newbie Morgan. Trash talk expected, posting a gif of City winning the title expected, will he come up with any proper banter?
 Headline fixture of the week has to be one of the fiercest rivalries in the Bush – The Kennedy Brodown. RK v HK, always a tight contest. HKendon took out the win 78-70. The difference this week? Reid’s absolute Judas-bullet to the foot of a decision to have his first sub as Trippier (0) instead of round 1 superman Wan-Bissaka (12). Poor Wan-Bissaka was left out in the cold much like his manager who also suffered the cold shoulder (quite literally) breaking it in real life whilst snowboarding solo. Humorous? Yes, quite funny – also the bone he broke. Nah it is snow joke, get well soon Reidy and the Bush is hoping for a swift recovery.  “Spitting chips” – Reid Kennedy. The Dons found form of old and are hoping to put their DISGUSTIN’ last campaign behind them.
 Recently off the chain manager Kirby gave ex housemate (too soon?) Max ‘Emry out’ Haggarty more frustration with his bench than Arsenal gave him with their bench. Losing by what he claims as “35 players not playing and their* bench kills it”. It could be just be the fact that the Cheese and Lacas captained one of the most overrated players who was never going to play a full game let alone score points. Rashford was a myth, fittingly disappearing for his manager in a time of need. That and the fact that a star-studded midfield scored 4 points between 4 could definitely have been a factor in the disappointing start for the Lacas. Who knows, Kirby could get lucky af like he did last season and get 10 wins in a row – that is until he disappeared and didn’t blame his password, just his missus. The real lesson is here gentlemen, always blame your missus.
 Another two teams at the top of the ranks this round were former rookies Mitch ‘Wombae’ and Alex ‘Do I make you Horney’ Horne. Both teams respectively scored 80 points which would tickle the dick of any manager. The Wombats midfield was absolutely terrifying for former Romeybears manager Jerome, scoring a fucked 46 points from 3 people (wowser). Horney’s Heroes gave rallied around the strongest captain of the week Mane, 36 points alone. Mitch takes on Rowan next week whilst Alex takes on the newest self-proclaimed hot shot Madde ‘Prostate Tickler’ Bowshire.
 “Sneed’s are a joke”, “Cunt, those Sneeds” “It’s a bloody upset” – just a few of the quotes from around the Bush this week leading up to Rowan ‘get back in the womb’ Flanagan. One man had a little something else to say – “It’s a new season bruv im finishing top 3, this ain’t an upset it’s the new normal”. Madde took out a huge start to his fourth Bush season with a DOMINANT display over Rowan’s Doumbia’s. His first error was picking 3 Tottenham players, his second was captaining someone versing a punishing Liverpool. Sneeds on the other hand, magic in all aspects in his 76-49 win. 35 points in his defence, you shall not pass. Rowan has already lost his password this preseason, how many losses will it take for him to lose it again?
 Honourable mention to our high scorers who didn’t make top 3 this week, Chris Michaels and Papa Geo, both scoring 75+. Unlucky for the Tigs not to get a win, the Bush is a harsh mistress and she needs patience. Papa gave Riley ‘regular Bine enthusiast’ Guest the true reality of this, spanking him by 40 points.
 That’s all we’ve got time for about the key moments fellow managers, we hope you’ve enjoyed a read and had a giggle but before we sign off, some info about the Manager of the Month voting change this season…
Here at the Bush Fantasy League we value consistent, non-biased results. Last season there were many amazing Manager of the Month awards though we had massive complaints/feedback about the legitimacy of our nomination process. To honour the wishes of the majority of managers, we’d like to introduce our new system, which evaluates our players in a VIP type like process. Each week you’ll receive a tally, which in turn will total to a monthly score. Top scorer of the week will get 3, second will get 2 and third will get 1 (tied points count). Thank you for your cooperation and as always, stay classy, Bush League.
3 points – Brody with 83 points.
2 points – Alex and Mitch on 80 points.
1 point – Harry on 78 points.

Bush League: A History
Tumblr media
Here be the definitive history collection from our fabled Bush League, 2015 to now... Click to read...
2015/16 SEASON
The Debut season saw only 8 managers take the plunge into the Bush League, featuring the Bush OGs; Harrison Kennedy, Rowan Flanagan, Brody Felgate, Reid Kennedy, Madde Bowshire, Blake Hands, Guy Ethell and Logan McIndoe. The League was fiery, full of banter as the close binds of friendship were tested in the early years. Most notable was the introduction of famous Bush Meme Steve “Felgate” Harvey. The story began as Brody started the season low, very low, being in the bottom 3 for the first 12 weeks of the league. After this, a stream of wins and ego swept through the league as Felgate stormed up the table, sweeping aside key contenders on his road to glory. The Dons and Doumbiaaaaa #1 were argurably the best teams throughout the season, biding their time for the introduction of Harvey, keeping their place in the top 4 for nearly the whole season. This was in stark opposition to Sneed’s feed and seed the first, who had a stranglehold on the bottom, finishing as wooden spoon with more than 10 fixtures to go in the season. As the final whistle of the season drew near and the fixture list ended, Felgate sat atop the draw...
What came next was the onslaught. The claims of “Ranieri of the Bush League”, “The ultimate underdog story” and “The Special One” were shown throughout the bush. These posts were accompanied with imagery, sourced via snapchat:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What followed would go down in history. Steve Harvey was born. A finals series emerged that Bush League Co-Comissioner Felgate was not ready for. He had been pushed aside. He had not been important and had not won. He was a minor premier and nothing more.
Tumblr media
Felgate was swept aside in the first round of the finals by a secret Wild Card dropped by ultimate Troll and resident sneaky boi Judas manager Reid Kennedy who went on to crush Felgate but then lose out in the final game.  The Winner of the first year was Rowan “Flash Flanno” Flanagan, who dominated for a large majority of the first season, even through form droughts, to maintain a seat in the Bush Hall of fame with a crushing victory of Reid in the final. 
Tumblr media
2016/17 SEASON
The 16/17 season saw the Bush DOUBLE in size. 8 new teams joined the flames after hearing of the incredible drama of the first season. It was a huge welcome to managers Alex “Netdix” Horne, Max “Myth Angler” Maggotty, David “Supports ManUre but no Irish Teams” O’Carroll, Kirby “2cool4facebook” Lloyd, George “Papa <3″ Chittleborough and Brock “Are You Not Entertained?” Lamont. These new eager managers joined the pile in the hopes of replicating Rowan “the legal age is 13 right?” Flanagan’s heroics from the first season. 
Tumblr media
Right from the get go manager Brock Lamont saw Ws in his column in the table and this would set the tone for a fantastic debut season from the former Tally Tigers vet. Brought in by OG Guy “Solid Wood” Ethell, Guysy surely regretted his decision as Lamont went on to school the league on his way towards the finals for what would become another incredible finish to the finals series. Before jumping that far ahead however, the drama of the 16/17 season started fully during GW2 which saw the move that changed the generation of House Kennedy forever. A “Gentleman’s Agreement” (See George Chittleborough for definition) was reached between tight-knit brothers Reid and Harrison Kennedy where they would both take massive negative points hits to change their teams in what would be a minus points amnesty; a move which made perfect sense. However, after consulting another certain manager about whether the deal was good, Reid decided to tell Harrison he would agree to replicate the same amount of transfers....before not making a single negative transfer that week. Harry was livid. He felt betrayed. By his blood, his very own brother. 
Here is an excerpt from the fateful incident:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From there the relationship devolved and turned into a slandering match which continues as we move into our fourth season. 
Another love-hate relationship that spawned between the managers of the bush was the introduction of the triple-dicked-10 inch-weapon that was IAN. Ibrahimovic ($10m), Aguero ($11.5m) and Negredo ($6.5) formed the trident that spelt death for more than half the league during the 2nd bush season. From the GW statistics we could find (intermittent rounds from 3-17) saw an average point differential of 28 points per week for IAN users. Incredible considering that is divided between three players. We surely miss this as Ibra is gone, Aguero is made of glass and Negredo disappeared down the middlesborough relegation hole :’(. Such a trident hasn’t existed since and we surely miss it. Except for Sneed’s. He was fucked by the trident countless times in one of the worst L records ever seen. 
A key moment to note from 16/17 was the love affair that began in the bush. We are great supporters of the LGBTQILMNOP movement and all of our brother’s, sisters and she-males are supported in their right to sexual liberation (Though used humorously, we do support the rainbow). In the Bush we saw a beautiful one-sided homosexual relationship between current champion Rowan Flanagan and Marcus Rashford (who I swear was also underage at the start of this romance....notice a trend). Rowan took to the bush to proclaim his sexual love for the young young young striker and even ended up changing his team name as an ultimate act of love. What a man.
Tumblr media
The bush descended into mediocrity after Christmas as most managers lost their way AND THEIR PASSWORDS (looking at you again Flanagan), forgetting to change each week, sending the bush into it’s darkest tailspin. One manager however was diligent. Brock Lamont rose to glory, smashing Reid Kennedy (Two times top 4 manager) to bring home the bacon in what was a topsy turvy second season. 
Also Max joined this year; may the banter R.I.P. 
2017/18 SEASONO (WE <3 CONTE)
“Bush 3: the case of the missing Christmas Weekly” was the Bush’s biggest season to date. Consistent growth saw another 8 managers joined to create a 24 man league with too much sausage to handle. Little did the Bush know at the time, that these debutants would be such a spicy addition to form. Ben “The Wiz” Petersen, Tim ‘has literally one photo’ Sheehan, Jerome ‘The White Wolf’ Albert, Mitchell “Wombatshuyai” Keen, Chris “Vin Diesel” Keen, Chris “Chrenlord” Kennedy.
Two of these debutants went on to the Semi finals and had stellar seasons to show that they were massive contenders in the future. The heartbreak kid Mitch Keen and Bendalf the Grey Petersen have proved worthy competitors and have assured the bush that mediocrity is not an option. NOT UP IN HERE! 
17/18 also saw the rise of the MOTM photoshops, something that the bush now holds dear and will continue from here on in. 
We would be remiss if we did not first acknowledge the Bush Weekly. 16/17 actually saw the largest amount of content and words written for the bush weekly out of all the three seasons that have occurred. However, a disintegrated clavicle, a painkiller addiction and a busy christmas period saw the fade of the Weekly Bush read and the faith of the following. The Bush entered the darkest timeline. As banter disappeared and all posts and comments followed the most generic meme format, managers began only referencing the missing weeklies rather than presenting any decent banter into the social space. 
Tumblr media
It was a dark season for all as Thanos arose out of the darkness and dragged the league with him...forcing it into the flames. Logan “Champ Champ” McIndoe was the man to beat. He set records of 110+ point rounds, maintained win-streaks and deleted Max from his facebook friends (wise) once and for all. He smashed the league week in and week out and left many other OGs and new young guns licking their wounds in a collision course where the Bush succumbed to other million timelines...Where Thanos would rule all. “Dread it. Slip from it. Destiny still arrives”
Blake “Slippy B” Hands has always maintained that Steven Gerrard was a hero. A mentor. An inspiration. And this season was the culmination of his quest to become just like one of his heroes. Blake slipped. He was at the tippy top of finals contenders in the table from Christmas onward and stormed into the finals. However, Thanos McIndoe, like Demba Ba is a destroyer of worlds, sending Slippy B into a spiral and stealing the crown from his clutches. 
Tumblr media
Kirby Lloyd was also a record breaker and the new mythological creature (#TheBlitz) from the Bush. He set a new win record early on in the season and was the only manager attempting to thwart Thanos on his quest for domination. He then however, used his slick facebook DPs to rope himself a girlfriend.
Tumblr media
He went on a losing streak to almost the same extent as his win streak before deleting facebook, deserting the bush and his brothers to focus on his new love life. 
Tumblr media
Another welcome addition to the Bush was Aaron Mooy who took a place in 90% of the Bush League’s teams. He was a welcome addition, bringing in a string of 4 and 6 point games to the delight of many managers. However, as Huddersfield slipped and Mooy left on Australia duty, managers began subbing him out in a great showing of poor Australianism. Such shit showings of patriotism led to poor karma for managers that subbed him out. Harrison Kennedy and Brody Felgate felt the full force of this. Both subbing him out in the same week and starting a streak of shit form which saw them keep middle table mediocrity for the rest of the season. 
(See this: https://www.facebook.com/harrison.kennedy.5/videos/10214832910160027/?t=0)
Massive congratulations to Madde “Black Doctor” Bowshire after finally giving up his beloved wooden spoon this season and giving it to Guy “I am Guy” Ethell. Guy, well we just don’t know what happened in Bush 3 though we are glad he stuck around despite the few games he won all year.
As stated, the league fell the way of Thanos and Logan McIndoe reigned supreme; wrapping up the league in fantastic fashion. He claimed the minor premiership from Blake Hands and won the playoffs in true CHAMP CHAMP fashion. 
WHAT’S NEXT?
This year. 4 new teams. 28 players. Bush Website. Bush Social media. BUSH WILL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE. The weekly will no longer exist to give way to a new format. The Bush will become something entirely different and evolve. Strap yourself in for what is set to be a cracking year. Choose some fucking decent team names (Max, change it or we’ll call you the Myths in all Bush Media) and lets get on with it...

Bush League Makeover
Tumblr media
The greatest league in the world is coming back for the 2018/19 season and it’s bigger than ever. 
The board of directors have invested time and “potentially money” into a revamp which sees a new dimension to the online media presence of the Bush League’s resident newspaper “The Bush Times”. The revamp began with a new logo, designed by resident PhotoShop-Picasso and Bush League manager Harrison “The Don” Kennedy giving a much needed face lift to the both the Bush League mascot “Bush Rat” and the predominant marketing imagery of the league.  The biggest and most sweeping change is bringing the most excitement with the announcement of the new web-space for Bush Times articles, transfer gossip and TMZ style Bush League Managerial fuck-up reports all now to be found at Bushleaguefpl.tumblr.com. The facebook group site will remain the league’s main touching point for league managers but all news will be first and foremost through the new webspace. 
Tumblr media
One manager has been quoted as saying; “We’re sick of the weekly fading to the black later in the year, we need a change!”. It seems for once, the league bosses have listened stating that the new webspace is designed to provide real-time updates and keep the Bush informed not weekly, but at appropriate intervals where the news needs to be told. 
Whether the new space will be a success, time will tell...
