FFL Update

Not a particularly high-scoring week this week, but one which sees Mike start to stake his claim with a 17-pointer, thanks largely to the most odious man in football who wouldn't look odd with Bob Carolgees's fist up his arse. I'm talking about Diouf, of course. Ominously, James manages 13 points to stretch his lead slightly at the top. With Johnson and Bent playing 90 minutes every week (we know that was the idea James) this strategy could pay off handsomely. But, as if we need reminding, there's a long way to go yet.

Three cheers for Stathi who managed a monumental 7 points this week. Like they say at Sainsbury's, every little counts (or something like that). Rico and Donald suffer the ignominy of bottom-scoring, with 3 points each. Here's the table, with the formatting fucked for some unfathomable reason:

"FFL 2006/07
LEAGUE TABLE"

Total Points
1st James 108
2nd Sid 99
3rd Mike 85
4th Nick Ath 82
5th Nick Ach 75
6th Donald 68
7th Theo 58
8th Steve 48
9th Rico 45
10th Stathi 35

One transfer to report: Mike gets rid of Cech for Cudicini. It was surprising that no one else went in for him, something that Mike obviously anticipated in making a hasty move. A good one though, by the looks of it. Tough luck.

In keeping with the current trend for null transfers, Donald tried to get Nicky Hunt for J Lloyd Samuel. Alas, poor Donald - he's mine.

That wraps it up for this week. Now back to injury-watch for the Champions League matches. I fancy Ballack to tear ankle ligaments, Gallas to pull his hamstring (badly this time), Crouch to get a groin strain and Saha to break his foot.

There, I said it.
