The NLD - a tale of unbridled joy and abject woe

 

Where does the inquest begin and where does it end? Who is to blame and what can be done about? This is nothing to do with the North London Derby, but when and where am I going to fill up my car with petrol? It’s 2021, UK is the world’s fifth biggest economy (based on nominal GDP) and we have descended back to 1970s with fuel being rationed. Thanks Boris…and those who voted Brexit.

Back to PL and the match of weekend saw Arsenal ceremoniously tear Spurs a new one. Wow, so one-sided. James, Harry and Nick PC will likely still be grinning from ear-to-ear while our Spurs contingent will be busily ramming needles into their Levy voodoo dolls. Nice stadium though.

What does this all mean for FFL? This week’s Mikel “see, I didn’t just pick up cones for Pep, but also learned how to play fast fluid football which battered Spurs” Arteta Manager of the Week goes to Nick PC with a whopping 17 points thanks Vardy (6) and Sa (5). This week’s Nuno “I actually don’t know what I’m doing but I’m working at a nice training ground and wonderful stadium” Santos award for flop of the week is James who scored a paltry 4.

A bit of accounting from last week has seen some managers gain points and overall this means our 2022 champion will be Harry. The gap is now 12 to second.

Table:

Transfers
 
Finally the PL’s two jailbirds have finally been jettisoned.
 
Don:
Henderson OUT Ramsdale IN
 
Alex:
Sigurdsson OUT Cornet IN
 
Stathi:
Elliot OUT Doucoure IN
Mendy OUT Tmayasu IN
 
Once again we had a manager who tried to substitute in players owned by other managers. For the record: Vardy is Nick PC’s while Smith-Rowe and Mane are both mine
 
Until next week
 
Your Chairman
(Viva Ronaldo. Again)
