No, the title isn't a typo.
Seeing as it's currently TRANSFER DAY in the English Premier League, which is a very big deal for a number of people (apparently), I started thinking about Arsenal (aka; Gunners).
And of course, Gunners make me think about this comic. So yeah. Figured this would make for some funny manips or other forms of hilarity.
Otherwise, y'all and probably use it to talk about that sport with the round ball that you hit with your legs into white boxes
"I would like to share with you the strange events that took place while I attended youth academy at Gunnerskrigg Court"

Where do Parley and Smitty fit in these leagues?  Neither are telekinetic. |

Parley would be a wicked goalie and Smitty would be the bookie that makes every call, no matter the odds. Can't put Parley on the offensive lineup, she'd get a red card almost immediately. |

I dunno how common telekinetics is in the Court, but I sure as hell don't want to play against a team with Anwyn midfielders. They'd dribble all around like a regular bunch of Lionel Messis.

Well, you should start with a league for each school. Suppose Foley has one league, Queslett has another, Thornhill has another, and Chester has another. Football rules are kept intact, and players aren't allowed to use their abilities, otherwise red card applies. The teams may be composed of up to 11 players and 5 substitutes.
At the end of every league, the Court's Cup takes place, with the best 4 teams of each school (total 16) duking it out for the big prize. For added dramatism, the Double Elimination system is used.

Neither are telekinetic. Yeah, teleportation would have to be excluded from the one league as well. Maybe some other abilities. |

Not sure there are enough students to have 4 teams for each house! When we had inter-house games at my old school we just did a round-robin type thing with one team per house per age group and then the two top teams played a final. My house never won, we were awful, and never took it seriously. I can't see this working though, they'd have robot referees who would send the students off every few minutes. Also if Arsenal are representing the court, who represents Gillitie woods? Notts Forest? |

Not to mention one of those teams doing a lot better since the start of the 20th century (Brian Clough era aside), but yeah.
I'd really be interested to find out what teams fans think various characters would support, or have a lot in common with.

I'm not that familiar with Premier League, so I can't say much about that. :/

Neither are telekinetic.
