FFL Week 24

Whatever you think about incorporating the FA Cup into our FFL season, you can't argue that it doesn't add a few more twists and turns to what's become a twisty-turney season already. And, with a tasty dish of cup replays still to come, expect a few more twists and turns before February is out.

And it doesn't get more twisty and turney than a hatrick in the last 15 minutes of a game. Add a goal for Ronaldo and a clean sheet from Gallas, and you've got a weekend-long stiffy if you're a little bald QS from West Finchley - 13 points puts you back to within 20 points of a big not-quite-bald-yet doctor from Mill Hill.

Slipping away this week was Stathi - who's been called enough things on this blog, so I'll refrain just this once - who scored a big fat zero. That damn FA Cup, eh?

Here is the leaderboard once again:

1st James 275

38 5th Sid 237
41 6th Mike 234
57 7th Don 218
74 8th Nick Ath 201




Nice to see all managers in the 200s. Some of us won't be getting beyond 300, so let's savour it for a week.

There were 2 transfers to report, both from the top. James rids himself of Rory Delap and avails himself of Matt Taylor. And Theo dumps Adebayor and takes a punt on Kenwyne Jones.

Transfers in hand: Chairman Nick - 0; James - 2; Mike - 0; Theo - 1; Don - 4; Sid - 3 (and he can't buy Rafael any more); Stathi - 1; Nick PC - 1.

Lovely summation Mr Chairman.

I predict a riot. No i don't, i predict DrJ will open up his legs and gallop his way to his first championship.

Put the ribbons on the cup boys, crack open the Cava (credit crunch) and get out the cheese and pineapple sticks.

P.S. Where the fucking hell has Rooney been all season?

Hey, he hasn't been as bad as these fuckers: Drogba, Tevez, Santa Cruz, Yakubu, Owen, Martins, Johnson, Alves, Carew, Jo, Fabregas, Ballack, Deco, Joe Cole, Bentley, Babel, Elano, Downing, Walcott, Pedersen, Diouf, Modric, Riera, Carvalho, Agger, Skrtel, Silvestre, Toure, Neville, Brown, and Dossena.

Just to name a few. How many have you got or had?

Sonofabaker said...

3 fuckers plus Rooney means nearly half a team. I think i'm justified to bitch a little bit..

Sonofabaker said...

Sorry make it 4 plus Rooney, just saw Skrtel on the shamed list.

Smiling Assassin said...

I've got 6. Beat that.

Collars Up said...

Bitch, bitch, moan, moan. See it worked. Off comes Berbatov, on comes Rooney and he scores.

I just hope he now spanks a hat-trick at Wembley!

Oh and don't I have one transfer left? Or does Ballack-gate mean I ALSO lost the transfer I never should have had as I was so (stupidly and naivly) honest?????

Smiling Assassin said...

Yes, sorry, I still need to make that adjustment. I was waiting for a green light, but as usual there is generall silence (apart from the usual, contributory few).

Sonofabaker said...

green light for what?

Smiling Assassin said...

For voiding the Ballack transfer. No matter - 'tis done now.
