I'm pleased to say that I haven't used a single Man Utd player this season (on previous seasons I've always had Van Horseface). And I wouldn't touch Ronaldo with a 10ft pole. I hate him and his pathetic dives (how does he still manages to fool refs, like against Spurs, is a mystery to me). He was already a bit like that when he played here, but seems to have refined his diving skills over there. Taking lessons from Van Nistelrooy during the last seasons, maybe?
And Paz, that site is excellent. It would be even better if I could actually get those pictures, so that I could set them as backgrounds in FM 2007 though...

How many executions do you get if Ronaldo is your team captain? 'Cos, er, my mate wants to know, yeah.

My place in the league fails to surprise me after my 3-month internetless phase. To prevent any embarassment I think I'll just leave the team the way it is and hide from this thread from now on.

In other football related news, Clattenburg is hopelessly incompetent. And Leeds are scum.

"SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE, SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE": The Fixture Congestion Week Twenty Seven.The two match-stragglers are concluded, bringing perhaps the longest running fantasy week yet to a belated close.
Your league for today looks like this:

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9387/ttlgleaguefeb21zm0.pngI suspect some transfer action has been pursued, as the gap at the top is now
18 points (gasp!) Some prick with
79 points was this week's highest scorer.
It's the ever-exciting League Cup Final this weekend, which means no fixtures involving Arsenal or Chelsea (or, indeed, Manchester City and Aston Villa). Potentially a bit annoying, depending on what your squad looks like.
D'Arcy on 24/2/2007 at 04:14
Oh, I'll only have eight players not playing this week then. I've had worse.

"At the end of the day, we've got the 3 points": The Wayne Bridge Intelligence Failure Week Twenty Eight.Knees up mother brown, Chelsea have won a pot! And John Terry continues his strange quest to get himself killed.
But that's not what concerns us; our business is the league. A slightly slim-n-trim fixture list this week and the effect of that was ...

http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/6018/ttlgleaguefeb25bo5.pngA polarisation of scores, with managers tending to either hover in the 25-35 range or be up into the 50s. It's
OnionBob who storms to weekly victory with
59 points, proving that you don't need to actually pay attention to the game to do well. At the top, the lead is cut to
8 points ... oooh!
For those feeling depressed that their Arsenal-Chelsea (or Man City/Villa I guess) axis was badly missed this week, fear not. This forthcoming period includes no less than two games for all of those clubs.

Damn you, Parrish! My bid for manager of the week is foiled again!

"I'm forever blowing any chance of staying in the Premier League": The It All Seems An Awfully Long Time Ago Week Twenty Nine.Incredibly, next week appears to feature all twenty teams and not last a fortnight. Hurrah!

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/828/ttlgleaguemar14hi6.pngIs it all over at the top? Stopping
Razzalls Rovers accelerating away could be a tricky task, with the gap to the summit now a healthy
26 points. Highest weekly scorer is the Dimitar Berbatov Appreciation Society (he's so dreamy) with
81 points.

"Invincibility lies in the defence": The Back Fours On Top Week Thirty.Rather turgid fare in the self-styled best league in the universe this week, except from Man Utd who remain ... god, it's so hard to write ... streets ahead of everyone else in the quality department. Urg, I feel dirty now.
A combo of Fergies Finest and a solid defence was the way to success. Chelsea players were a poisoned chalice, with Jose resting most of the key figures ahead of the Tottenham replay. Who got the balance right?

http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/4026/ttlgleaguemar18sz3.pngThe answer, my friend, is showing in the league.
Razzalls Rovers leap to, frankly, an insurmountable lead with just eight fixtures remaining - a healthy
63 points widening what is now a chasm.
But it's
Ards FC who take the weekly trophy with a m-m-m-m-massive
86 points.
