Man, the lack of interest in this is depressing! Pushed down to page two! Let's see what we can do about that...

Can't believe I took Bent out of my team and the fecker scored! Plus I had considered making Demba Ba my captain, but decided to stick with Michu instead, who came good for me in the beginning but in the last few weeks has done eff-all. Lo, and it came to pass, that Newcastle scored two goals and each were planted into the net by Ba, while Michu's team failed to even score!

And Vorm, one of the better goalies at the beginning of the season, seems to be getting beaten every week now. Can't have my main keeper, as Krul is out, yet Newcastle are keeping clean sheets mostly.

Oh, and can I just say: Man United 2 Tottenham 3 YAY!!!!

Yep it was a fantastic result.

I had a fairly mediocre week. Making Steven Fletcher my captain for the day paid off at least!

Trollheart · 10-26-2012, 06:44 PM

Ok, I'm sick of doing miserably at this every season, so I've transferred most of my team out and brought in some cheap numpties mostly (other than Nolan from West Ham) in order to gamble it all on two major strikers, Van Persie and Suarez.

Now watch both get horribly injured/sent off tomorrow!

Damn! Now I have to cheer for Man U! Oh well, they can score without actually winning I guess. Most of my Chelsea lineup are out anyway, with Terry finally beginning his suspension and Lampard injured, so I have to bet it all on the bloody Reds! What a life!

Trollheart · 10-28-2012, 07:16 PM

Well, that's my luck for you! The curse of Trollheart strikes again!

Suarez should have had 3 goals: 1 given as OG, one disallowed for offside WHICH IT NEVER WAS and just the one credited to him.

Van Persie, should have had 2 but one was just about cleared off the line.

Oh, and I got rid of Ba. Of COURSE he scores.

Ay-yi-yi! Me no like!

Yeah, welcome. Maybe you can kick some life into this thread. What's yer team like?

Newkie · 11-16-2012, 07:37 AM

Right now I've got

Al Habsi
Shawcross/Cole/Baines
Mata/Duff/Cazorla/Ben Arfa
Crouch/Kone/Van Persie (C)

With Ruddy, Sterling, Gunter and Demel on the bench. Might change it around for tomorrow though..

Trollheart · 11-16-2012, 02:20 PM

That's one sweet team!

I had to change and then autocomplete my whole team (well, most of it) in order to get Van Persie and Suarez. Worked week 1, not really week 2. Hoping for big things tomorrow!
