Well, an intriguing week has just passed. Lots of high scores, a few surprises and more shenanigans at the top. A premature ejaculation of joy came from James before learning a valuable lesson: never get your dick out before the week (or season even) is through.
Nevertheless, James it is who top scored this week with a crucial 23 points. Pedersen finally finding form and Chimbonda chipping in with a valuable 6. Trouble is, the nearest challenger, Nick PC, scored 16 himself, despite having 4 chalked off for Meite. This included 6 points for Arteta in the same match that saw Andy Johnson get his injury. Never get your dick out...
After a spectacular 3 or 4 weeks, I hit rock bottom with -4 for the week, the lowest score of the season so far. At the same time, Ooijer is out for the season during a rare Blackburn clean sheet. That's enough solipsism from me.
Anyway, the table:
1 Derby 56
2 Birmingham 53
3 Preston 53
4 West Brom 49
5 Southampton 49
6 Cardiff 46
Sorry, the other table:
1st James 251
2nd Nick Ach 249
3rd Mike 236
4th Sid 234
5th Nick Ath 220
6th Donald 203
7th Rico 190
8th Theo 186
9th Steve 166
10th Stathi 132
Transfer action:
Mike rebuys Cech for Cudicini, as predicted.
2 bids came in for Downing (who I thought still belonged to Donald, despite spending 40 hours in front of the spreadsheet this week trying to fix a bug, but what the hell do you fuckers care about that, or even appreciate it?). So, Sid came in with Emre (£3.8m) whilst Nick came in with Duff (£4.6m). Not even close. This could be the beginning of the end ladies and gentlemen. As for Donald, it's pull your hair out time. Downing scored 11 points this week, but all he's got to show for it is a pointless (in more ways than one) Andy Reid.
James takes a calculated risk, trading in the crocked Johnson for Adebayor who will surely be deputising for van Persie for a few weeks. It'll be an interesting end to the season, but my cash is on Nick. Not me, the other one.
Bring on the FA Cup. Up the Rams.
