FFL Week 14

A rare occurrence this week: everyone gets into double figures except poor Donald (not Theo, as someone previously stated), with just 7 points. This trend would suit Stathi at the top, who managed another decent score, 15, despite having both strikers out and Fabregas suspended.

It's hard to see how he'll be caught just now, but Mike's looking the most likely to do any catching. Again, he top scores with 18 and is taking tentative steps towards the front. However, his team has more weaknesses than Stathi's at the moment: Ben Haim and Milner are in and out, Sorensen doesn't look like he'll ever play again and Hleb is injured for a few weeks. By January though, this could all be very different. Scores:

No transfers this week, but we did get an email from Legacy Hotels titled 'Expecting Friends and Family This Christmas?' Penis enlargement and debt consolidation emails, here we come.

The scores above don't include the midweek game between Blackburn and Villa. Until next week...

FFL Update

No games this week, so only a transfer to report. Predictably, your stand-in chairman gets rid of that ex-footballer Michael Owen and buys Gabriel Agbonlahor. Sometimes, you've just got to surrender to the farce.

Pulling no punches................

Journalist comments on Rangers v Barcelona match. Translated from the editorial in the Elmundo Deportivo newspaper

"Dear Rangers supporters, never come back to Barcelona again. And not because your players themselves aren't a legitimate team. No, it's not because of that - the Nou Camp frequently hosts teams who are lazy, boring, who only defend, who run and kick their opponents, and who shouldn't be in elite competition. On top of this, Rangers merely defend, run at the opposition and play dirty. Their defenders are butchers, their midfielders, heavy-footed; and their strikers just stand there like the furniture.
But even apart from the footballing aspect, the best thing would be for Rangers never to return to Barcelona, because every time they do, they make a mess of the place. 35 years ago, you (the Rangers supporters) destroyed the seats at the Nou Camp. This time we have enjoyed no less than 48 hours of brawls, provocation, rackets, fights and common drunk women throughout the whole city, which you have fouled however you pleased.
Stay at home and vomit in your own living-room, urinate in your sitting-room corners, fight with your neighbours, the Celtic supporters (who deserve a prize just for putting up with you) and foul the streets of Glasgow instead. Don't come back here again, because it is not a laughing matter. And, by extension, don't play in the Champions League either. You are not at that level neither in a sporting nor human sense"

Self Pity City...............

FFL Week 12

Points galore again this week. It's looking like a record-breaking season in terms of FFL points with all the top teams scoring plenty of goals. Top of the pile this week is Mike who seems to be putting together some good scores together after a slow start. With 20 this week, he's managed 37 in 2 weeks to mount a stout defence of his title.

However no one's competing with Stathi, despite the loss of Rooney for a month. When a potential blank week appears, up steps Jenas. With 16 points again this week, Stathi's lead stretches to 26. It's yet another poor week for Theo (6 points) who now joins James at the foot of the table, which looks like this:

	FFL 2007/08 LEAGUE TABLE
Diff			Total Points
	1st	Stathi	174
26	2nd	Rico	148
44	3rd	Nick Ath	130
54	4th	Mike	120
57	5th	Sid	117
61	6th	Nick PC	113
85	7th	Don	89
89	8th	Theo	85
89	9th	James	85

There were no transfers this week. Internationals coming up now too, so that'll be it for a couple of weeks. Mike, where are you?

FFL Week 11

Firstly, happy birthday to the soul brothers. Perhaps we'll be blessed with their presence on this blog one day. I know old people tend to be technophobic, but surely they can get a nephew to help them or something.

Our current champion Mike top scores this week with an impressive 17, after leader Stathi faltered somewhat with his lowest score of the season so far, 7. Things are beginning to bunch up for the chasing pack now and the next few weeks should see some movement there.

Fuckwit of the week is your chairman, with 5 pissy little points. I won't moan about injuries and all that crap. Who wants to hear it anyway?

So, the scores:

	FFL 2007/08 LEAGUE TABLE
Diff			Total Points
	1st	Stathi	158
24	2nd	Rico	134
37	3rd	Nick Ath	121
52	4th	Sid	106
53	5th	Nick PC	105
58	6th	Mike	100
77	7th	Theo	81
81	8th	James	77
87	9th	Don	71

Transfers:
Nick (that's me): OUT Sibierski (he's soooo shit) IN Kapo.
Sid: OUT: Scholes IN: PB Diop (as if Shevchenko wasn't bizarre enough last week - Sid, I expect a telephone argument soon).

Theo tried to buy Benni McCarthy. Hilarious mate. You might as well bid for Rooney and Fabregas while you're at it.

That's all for another week. Back to some midweek injury-watch.
