I'll be tinkering all season as per usual, trying to pick up points on obscure transfer choices while everyone else watches Rooney hammer an easy hat-trick. Tell yoz for nowt man is fielding 3 x Readingses 'cos they play twice in week 1. As do 'Ski. Then Reading and 'Ski miss week 3, IIRC.
A lorra lorra xfers... But never afriad to take a punt.
Couldn't have any association with Vilas Banglash. Way too shifty looking, eyes too close together, monobrow iirc.
Loudrock in contrast looks like he could have been a playa on the 80s German ghey pron scene, or an extra in a Brat Pack flick. Much more able to roll with such a dude.
Toyed with Skellardyce for a moment before recalling the c*** manages C*** Ham, so that was never a goer. Having said that, he did play a season at Teh Den back in the days of tight shorts and Trevor Francis wavy hair cascades.
I like Duder's chutzpah though, a big name and big forum talk for such a pitiful performance on FantPrem these past seasons.
He's like the Ally MacLeod of this bith.
When a journalist asked him "What do you plan to do after the World Cup?", MacLeod replied: "Retain it"
so we just got alex song....this should settle our problems in the back and provide for an interesting extra offensive option when needed
i still think modric with di maria and ozil will be overwhelming but great signing with alba
arsenal on the other hand :oof:
i think we need a better reaction keeper too let's get sceznsny while we're at it ;)
WE are off to a stunning start...hazard payin dividends
wtf is bertrand doing there though
arsenal seemed to have missed RvP presnece yesterday with all those close chances
the calls in the liverpool game were a farce and a half
chicharito should transfer if he wants to avoid being berbatov numero dos

furthermore if you look at the national squads i support then the rest makes sense (castle is a great squad and truly fighting and improving but it's obvious the 2 dakarois strikers have something to do with it)
yeah it's a mess but i keep things interesting like a gambler and it's not like i follow the mexican/argentine clausura or shanghai/dundee united
The times where i am weak and pretend to care about ligue 1 or eredivisie it's really about players more than clubs

So as I look down from my lonely eyrie at the summit, the apex, nay the very zenith of the SS fantasy league, who do I espy right down there, right down there at the very nadir?

We will both, as usual, end the season somewhere to the north and south of that wide swathe of mediocrity that lies between the glory boys and the trapdoor set.
If I start an alarming drop, might go for broke and aim to beat *eo to last place.
Looks like 'Ski have got the formula right so far. Looking like the team to beat at the mo.
Kagawa @ Un*ted also looks wise. No Rooney doesn't seem to be a problem.
City have to find some glitter, alas further downstream from the others in the River Transfer. Form at the back would be nice. 'Pool played well, 2-2 was fair result.
Aside from painting ourselves in a corner with another bosman situation, not sure too many Gooners are going to shed tears if he leaves. His pace is his still his greatest asset, and that luxury will only go one way from here on out. And while I don't agree with the whole "he has no football brain" contingent, he is hardly the most technical wing player we have. Can't say he's loads better than the current wingers we already have playing for our team.
I am afraid he's got a case of the "I IZ ENGLUSH" and now feels that 75k per week won't suffice for basically a better than average player. He's not even a guaranteed starter for our club for christ sake, let alone even at the Euros this summer.
Sorry dude, you were nice to have in the rolodex, but not someone i would want to spend our limited resources on just as a "nice to have". You might get paid more at city/chelsea/liverpool, but not sure you will play any more.
BSoD recently bestowed upon me increased reality time. Downside is that I didn't join the SS FF league. Had hoped the league settings were on auto-join for previous participants, seemingly not.. Nevermind, 'Sons of Pitches' started slowly anyway.. not wildcard slow, fair to middlin. Enjoy the season..
Was at a wedding on Saturday* so I missed the 6-1 Arsenal victory. Quadruple is on!
Podolski is starting to look very good, especially for a team with a history of brittle players. Das Boot looks very durable, was great to see (from MOTD highlights) him working hard and enjoying his football. Cazorla is just C L A S S.
He does actually play the ball, so I don't think a red was the right call for either player, just a telling-off for studdery.
1-1 a fair result for the Wenger Boys. City not finishing and getting back to the habit of conceding late on like in the good old days when we couldn't afford decent defenders money hadn't ruined the club.
A red each? A yellow each? Shelvey gets more of the ball than Evans who goes in two-footed with studs.
Obviously you hate Man United as much as I support them so maybe there's some truth in both our biased views, but my boy Evans was closer to the ball and it was his to win, his challenge to win the ball was substantially less reckless as he didn't have to lunge nearly as far to win it.
The boy shears...
He should really develop an interest in picking stock market investments.
I would follow any tips.

Pleased with a point at Citeh, but Arsenal should've buried the game in the first half.
United haven't had it particularly easy at Anfield in recent seasons but, despite the three points, that's the most indifferent and unremarkable Man U side I've seen in decades. Not a bad side, not at all - just really mediocre. It says a lot when they have to bring on Scholes to get back into a game that was effectively gifted to them anyway. Although not by us, for once.
Sloppy refereeing is, sadly, as much a part of the game nowadays as another bout of self-pitying whining from England's Poor, Brave, Put-Upon John Terry. Halsey had a bit of a stinker yesterday, to put it mildly. He let Van Persie go with a yellow for a far clumsier challenge in the second half, and the penalty was lamentable. Negligible contact from Johnson, Valencia stumbles over himself, nothing you could reasonably describe as intent from either player...and what does he do?

Or your (sic) soft.
From memory:
Barca, Real, PSG, Ajax, Juve, both Milans, Poo, Arse, 'Ski and Bayern.
Prolly half a season to prove he can turn it around before the vultures circle.
At Swansea he inherited a club already geared to his style, and no big names or egos to have that medals on the table angst.
Different at Liverpool.
I suspect there are already a few beads of sweat on the back of his neck.

An early deployment of wild card seems inevitable.

He can f*cking do one. Gervinho is just as sh*t at end product, but he doesn't forget the ball when he runs, and has amazing hair.
