FFL Week 3

As soon as we get started, we have to take a back seat to international football shite…

Week 3 of FFL gave us plenty, not least City, United and Chelsea all maintaining their 100% records. Chelsea easily dispatched a poor Burnley team with a routine 3-0 win, giving managers with Chelsea defenders points in the bag – not least Sid with his Ivanovic – Courtois axis giving him 6 points.

Man City look to have already embedded the Pep philosophy and are playing football that is aesthetically pleasing, much to the delight of the Guardiola fanboys who can talk about ‘third man runs’, ‘between the lines’ and ‘passing in triangles’ until they multi-ejaculate in their pants. By the way I fully expect to lose Aguero for three games but that’s cool as it’s the Manc derby next!

United left it late but already it is clear that Mourinho has built another team with power, physical presence and mental fortitude – how long will that last???

Elsewhere, the ‘Wenger-In’ fraternity were happy.

Liverpool were rather Spursy in their draw with Tottenham as profligate finishing meant they didn’t get what their endeavours deserved (is that the definition of Spursy????)

As for FFL, at this early stage, I’m still at the top thanks to 11 points but TC cuts that lead to only three points and top scores this week to take the Raheem ‘I’m back bitches’ Sterling award with 19 big points.

The Joe ‘what the fuck happened’ Hart award goes to Don with a paltry 1 and sees him prop up the table.

First to seventh place is separated by 15 points. A five point gap beyond that to Nick PC with Harry 11 points clear of bottom.

Early season transfers continue with a battle for City’s Bravo with both McNick and Rico not surprisingly battling it out. Only one winner as Hart was valued far higher than Mignolet(themin)

Transfers:

Rico
Hart OUT Bravo IN

Don
Betrand OUT Holgate IN
Navas OUT Fer IN

Stathi
Moreno OUT Zabaleta IN

Enjoy (???!!!) the World Cup qualifiers.

FFL Week 1 and 2 table points...



Back from holiday and table updated after first two weeks of Premier League action.

Its currently a Pieri one-two at the top of the table at this early stage but as we know it’s a marathon not a sprint.

The Champions League draw could quite possibly have given Sid, Don, Nick PC, Harry, Stathi, Theo, James an almighty hard on – the knock out stages and topping the group is surely a formality for Arsenal and Spurs?

As for me, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the Thursday Night trophy draw.

Rico and McNick can read an atlas.

Plenty of action this coming weekend and with the transfer window closing next week it should make for an interesting couple of weeks:

Will Liverpool buy a defence they need in order to avoid having to score more than three goals to win every week?

Seems like Arsene Wenger is about to buy a defender AND a striker (who the fuck is Perez by the way??????)

Who will be the deadline day signing that will have us all scrambling for our emails?

Will Levy wait until 11:59.59 before triggering a transfer?
