Pretty much from the time the Romans conquered it to the time that they up and left (on their own accord). It was a frontier territory.London was not a major city. There's plenty of evidence that Wroxeter was larger Roman settlement, and Bath certainly was. And none of those cities had much importance in the grand scheme of things to Rome. They were about as important as American Samoa is to the US.Again,you're welcome to your reservations about my team. Far be it from me to complain about you making comments. But if you say something that just isn't true, be prepared to get called on it. If that bothers you, perhaps YOU shouldn't be posting your commentary on a public message board.Since when is London the ### end of the Roman Empire?Another precious drafter crying because I didn't praise his line up and agree with everything he says.Sure you can debate Catherine the Great, I'm fine with that.Please point out another inaccuracy I have uttered. I'm all ears
You can't 'sell' a Pizzaro or a Cyrus the Great'.Sure they are good selections, but they aren''t going to take this team over the top.12 RBs were off the board before you even selected one. All sides bar one had at least 1 RB, somne even had 2.If Tomlinson, Williams, Alexander, McAllister, Green, Holmes, Henry, Portis were off the board would you be at a disadvatage?You can still win championships, but the stud is missingTo make up for this you have to draft elsewhere and as I mentioned you excelled at WR (Picks 1, 2 & 3)Then why are my RB picks "nothing special"?Most of the people dratfed in this are ####### leaders, it's just the degree in how successful they are that matters.

Oh man, this is great.Maybe I am still concentrating on the 'Deadly Animal Draft' or maybe my parents harping about the dangers of a one-world system have finally gotten to me. My next selection is: George W. Bush (Good Political Leader).
If the criteria for a notable leader is that you leave the world a much different place- then GWB has left a mark like no other. From sticking up the collective middle fingers of the American populace at the U.N. to leading the political charge in toppling several countries and establishing a radically new and dangerous foreign policy for the greatest nation ever- GB GWB. Whether you like him or not you have to admit that he has set the worlds political leaders on their ear and set notice that the West will not go quietly into the night.
The EU? Whatever. As long as GWB is president, the EU will firmly remain a dream in the minds of men who would rather shoot their wad of world supremacy on the cheap ho that is France, than actually do something about it. Bush has not only changed the world, he set notice to everyone that the United States is, once again, a force to be reckoned with- in every sense.
