FFL Week 11

Here is the latest table with two weeks worth of scores

Plenty of tears and bemoaning of his luck and yet TC is right in contention, only 27 points off the top.

With Tevez and Cazorla amassing 14 points it was a good haul but not enough for team of the week.

Pieri brothers right in McNick's slip stream. Rico also scored 14 with 11 from his front pair ensuring he still has the most prolific attack (54 points)

Top score goes to yours truly with 19 thanks to seven players scoring and a total of 8 points just from the north London Derby (promise I won't mention this again messrs Stathi, Sid, Don and TC).

Interesting stat:

McNick top with the best midfield (70 points)
Rico second with the best attack (54 points)
Pieri Snr third with the best defence (46 points)

Harry wins the Sir Alex "when will you fucking learn? Stop using your tombola to pick a team and realise that Giggs and Scholes cannot play together in the same team" Ferguson award for fuck up of the week with -5 points.

Here is the table:

Here is the only sub that was eligible for THIS weekend:

The Team We Might Have Had

We (long suffering) Spurs' fans have, over the years, been linked with a numebr of world class players only to see them sign for some one else...luckily what hasn't ever really happened is that we rushed to buy someone pathetically average instead. So, when I read this little story earlier you can understand why it made me smile:

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 31, came close to joining Arsenal in 2001 - even posing in a Gunners shirt - but despite Malmo agreeing a £3m fee for their player, he went to Ajax and Arsenal signed Francis Jeffers from Everton for £8m.

So next challenge is to the list the greatest team we never had....

Week 10 Subs

Two this week:

Harry
Dembele OUT Routledge IN

Bent OUT Cisse IN

The gift that keeps giving..............

And don't tell me he is not the David Brent of the Premier League.

FFL Week 10

A low scoring week FFL-wise but a potentially significant one in the Premier League

Chelsea, City, Spurs, Everton and Arsenal all drop points. United are TOTL and no one is more surprised than your Chairman. I am stunned by the way an ineffective and frankly poor excuse for a midfield is now top of the pile.

United have no player in midfield to compare with Mata, Cazorla, Hazard, Silva, Toure, Dembele. Before you say Nani, I will say have a look at the match against Chelsea in midweek. Incredible goal but he has too many brain farts. No intelligence and very, very frustrating.

Valencia is very one-dimensional but works his nuts off and is a rock. Who else? Kagawa has yet to really show his worth and is currently injured.

But having both Rooney and RvP is what is giving United a chance. Is there a better front pair in the world?

Yet again Ferguson has a TEAM working for one goal – a true bunch of winners while the likes of Chelsea and City in particular still look like a bunch of individuals.

Surprised Spurs lost at home – cunting bastards blew my coupon!

As for Arsenal. Woeful. How the fuck has Santos got 22 caps for Brazil? HOW? And can someone please explain to me how Ramsey gets a game for a TOP club in the Premier League? I now realise fans’ anger at the board.

Anyway, my half term week took me to Stamford Bridge to see an epic game. Couldn’t give shit about the result but a top, top away. Brilliant chants, plenty of banter and Clattenburg songs galore – the Rentboys were put in their place.

The next day I took a 400 MILE round trip to Port Talbot Town FC to see one of my students make his England debut in the Victory Shield match against Wales. He’s in Tottenham’s Academy and for me (no bias here btw!) stood out as man of the match. The boy has talent and has every chance of making it at the top level. Remember the name – Joshua Onomah. He will this week be playing for Spurs away to Barca in the Under-19 Next Gen Series. He is not 16 until April!

Anyway, here is this week’s table:

 

McNick still on top thanks to 10 points and top score, sharing the honour with Harry.

Nick PC, Sid, Don and James all bottom scored with -1. Surely this is a first in FFL history???

Subs after tomorrow’s deadline and I promise not to fuck it up this week although I have had connection and internet issues this week!

Weekend Predictions

After midweek shenanigans, goals and the rest, here is this weekend’s predictions

United – Arsenal 3-1

The big match sees RvP welcome his old club, the club he captained, the club who wouldn’t pay him his worth and the club he won nothing with. Will he get booed? Who cares?

Arsenal have the league’s best defence, United the best attack. Something has to give today.

Nailed on RvP will score and his reaction / celebration will say much about whether he is a total cunt or a little cunt.

Cazorla has been a bit quiet of late but expect him and Wiltshire to have a complete field day in the middle of the park where there used to be a United midfield.
Don’t fancy Santos’ chances against Valencia and United’s best chance of winning is to simply go toe-to-toe with Arsenal – much like last season and surtp[risngly how they beat Chelsea last weekend.

Fulham v Everton: 2-1
Could be a good game this. Fulham good at home and the folly of getting rid of Jol continues to grate on many Spurs fans. Three draws on the trot for Everton and Fulham just 2 points behind them in 7^th place I take Fulham to edge this.  

Norwich v Stoke: 1-2
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. A Championship game. Next please.

Sunderland v Aston Villa: 2-0
Sunderland to win. O’Neill will win against Villa.

Swansea v Chelsea: 1-1
Chelsea. Where do we start? Against racism since last Sunday, but ended on Wednesday. A moronic series of events have turned everyone against the rentboys. The vitriol on the face of many Chelsea fans was a sight to behold n Wednesday as every pro Clattenburg chant was sung by United. A team that in the Capital Two Cup ended the macth with probably 7 starters for today’s game against one for United says much about Di Matteo.
He clearly doesn;t pick the team, doesn’t buy the players, doesn;t choose the captain. He even has to be babysat during press conferences. What the fuck does he do apart from spout shit?
Anyway, with Mata possibly injured away to Swansea may not be an easy game. A draw?

Tottenham Hotspur v Wigan: 4-0
AVB divides opinion. There are those hate him and there are those that REALLY hate him. Midweek was a bit of a disaster. At home this should be an easy three points. Maybe not the 9-1 of a few seasons back but certainly a goal fest. Please play Adebayor you ginger twat.

West Ham v Manchester City: 1-3
Come on the ‘ammers.

QPR v Reading: 3-1
Finally QPR to get a win. Reading are Tesco-value team. In fact their strip is very Tesco-value.

Liverpool v Newcastle: 3-3
How will Brenten Rodgers have spun the midweek defeat? Joe Cole was bu all account shockingly bad. Goals are a problem but at home Liverpool will edge this one. Suarez more than any other player has shouldered reposnoibility for carrying the team. Skills and goals he is easily their best player. As for Newcastle, can someone please smash Pardew in teh facec? Smug git. Still, attacking-wise the barcodes are good and will exploit Liverpoo’s backline. High scoring draw.

West Brom v Southampton: 1-0
I like West Brom. Will win this and continue their good form. Southampton? Poor, very, very poor.
