I jumped to 10th before sundays points were awarded, where my added 3 didn't keep up with the others. Still not bottom ITS :cool:

So, yes, not a great deal to report again. Awesome Express have popped back to 3rd after some transfer antics. Fitter Happier F.C. are DEFINITELY off the bottom now, replaced by the unfortunate Brian's Tail Wags. Proof that even the vaguest association with Brian Robson will pretty much doom a side.
Congrats to the fearsome Portreath Wreckers for their epic 68 point tally.
At the top, the gap is w i d e n i n g ..
In real life, Man Utd are looking ominously good aren't they? Four goals at Bolton, fuck :(
[edit] oops, it's BRYAN Robson ... well that screws up my joke entirely!

Finally, the boy Rooney comes good with 17 points for Ards. :D

It's actually quite a bit tighter than it looks. I'd say anyone in the top eleven still has a realistic chance of winning.
After a lacklustre middle-table finish last season, the Voles manager has decided to throw chance to the wind, and select a completely random side. Indeed, anyone passing by Offworld Vole FC might really believe that this squad could only have been selected by someone from outer space.

That arsenal game, eh? How they managed to miss so many open goals is a mystery, though my dad was chuckling away, he's a spurs fan. ;)
I didn't like how a couple of pundits/reporters tried to blame their inability to score on the oft-stated over-flowery football, as if that had ANYTHING to do with them not scoring.

Yeah, it was just one of those days where the forwards fuck up the end product. Over and over again.
Regardless of whether it began with a flowing 20 pass move or a massive hoof, there isn't really any accounting for Fabregas going 'round the keeper and hilariously missing. Or Henry blazing wide from about two yards.
They'll probably score about nine <strike>today</strike> tomorrow.

And it's that kind of prescience which has got me where I am today! *ahem*

Victory for Watford, Sheffield United, Charlton, West Ham and so on has meant a fairly low-scoring week, as the puffed up nancy boys generally got a bit of a pasting around the country. LEAGUE ON, DRIVER:

A warm hand for Useless United, who actually managed to get more than 50 points. Double training sessions around a wet field in nothing but pants and vests for everyone else.

My main excuse for my inexorable slide to 9th is not having the internet for a few weeks, but there's also the fact that any forwards will immediately stop scoring after I pick them. On that note, I will consider dropping AJ for Dirk Kuyt.
Either way, I need to make some changes. It's not a good feeling to be failing miserably at this fantasy football and Football Manager at the same time :(
