Adrian, who is well known for his love of football though is strangely in this respect a supporter of Premiership new boys, West Bromwich Albion, posted news of the Braggers League on his Stirrer website within 12 hours of it's launch in the early hours of this morning.
"Come on – we all know that none of the West Midlands teams will win the Premiership this season, and merely looking at the league table is far too simplistic a way to gauge your side’s success. So Pete Millington of Spaghetti Gazetti has devised this ingenious handicap and launched the Braggers’ League – the true test of your club’s mettle".
The new Braggers League table will officially start with the kick off of the region's first local derby on 14th August when Wolves take on Stoke, with both clubs vying to take first blood bragging rights from the infamous Staffordshire derby. Stoke may also be aiming to earn bonus points should Wolves manager Mick McCarthy lose the plot after the game or Sutton Coldfield born Rory Delap score from a throw-in. Wolves could earn a bonus point should Stoke fans turn up to Molinuex with large numbers of vuvuzelas.
Braggers League creator Pete Millington, aka Pete The Geek, said:
"It doesn't get any more serious than this. The World Cup is flippin history as far as the West Midlands is concerned".
Other ideas of how the five competing teams, Villa, Blues, Wolves, Stoke and Baggies can gain or lose bonus points throughout the season are also being invited before the start of the new season. Pete is also considering the idea of forming a five person Braggers Adjudication Panel made up of fans from the respective teams willing to make authorative collective decisions around things like the degree of humiliation or hilarity worthy of point deduction in a given incident.
