Liverpools season crumbles around them again, why did Rafa take Torres off, there is no point saving him for the Lyon match, they will be lucky to qualify from their group and have no chance of winning so should just concentrate on qualifying for the champs league next season. Oh well when they lose mid-week it will be fun to watch all the scousers calling for Rafa's head again

Things not going to bad for me in the NLFF league, apart from Geovanni getting sent off the tool.

EDIT: I wish Dempsey was still in my team, ahh well.
ANUVA EDIT: Go Dogbreath !!!!!!
YET ANUVA EDIT: 31 points from Lamps + Drogs, get in!!

Stevie, I have no idea what the genius was up to. If they were winning I might understand, but, they weren't. And when they did find themselves in trouble, the players that could have saved it, were sat watching on the bench.
I pray Liverpool never sack Rafa, he could be good, but spends too much time thinking about cake, and gets distracted.
That result is just what I needed after last week. [sighs]

Crazy action around the league in the second half there, red cards all over the shop. Ha!

I'll post the overnight standings after the Utd game. Come on lads, time to bounce back! UNITED!!!

EDIT: Get in the lads. Beat Chelsea next weekend and United go back to the top. Hooah!

And here's the overnight standings...

Well that was a heck of an interesting afternoon's footie - seems some referees forgot the existence of the yellow and just went straight for the red cards today!
Anyway, good to see United get a good win today and after last week's result let's just say a little Benitez catastrophe was just what the doctor ordered
Bring on Chelsea I say!
COME ON UNITED!!!

Hello ROB Hope life at Uni' is treating you well? And yes, Benitez's sweaty face was oh so satisfying yesterday, the gap is back to what it was before that day at Anfield. Forget Loserpool though, it's Chelsea and Arsenal we need to worry about. I hope we click this week, as we'll need to up our performance if we're gonna stand any chance of beating the rent boys next Sunday. Massive game!

I've played my wildcard btw, scum-removal initiated! Can I win it, without ANY Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal or Sh1tty players. Course I can.

EDIT: OK boys, well it's Monday, obviously the excitement is too much, and you are unable to post. The Gameweek doesn't end till after the Wednesday night game, so of course, I shall post the awesome league of pwnage after that. Unless my Aston Villa players can get me at least twenty points in that game, The Launcher of Cows will have re-claimed top spot. I need to watch my back as everyone in the top half of the table had a pretty good week this is definitely a close one. See ya Wednesday losers.

Didn't realise there was a mid-week game this week - woo! Another chance for Ashley Young to get me some points (seeing as he only managed the ever-average total of 2 at the weekend). I've had a pretty decent gameweek so far - and finally my United trio have started picking up some good points!
...although as ever my team did once again slightly rely on captain Lampard :/

@Machu yup, Uni life's been good fun so far You know, everything except the whole work-bit Although I have upheld my personal standards from sixth-form of paying little attention, doodling, talking and then doing all my work the night before it's due in!
It's just the way it's meant to be

Damm, my team is really dropping down

@Terra: Yeah dude, you had a proper stinker this week. I'd have a look at your team, see who's letting you down, then get rid. Still a long way to go, it's never too late.

@ROB: Glad to hear you're taking in your stride. As for the Villa game, I shipped in 3 Aston Villa players with this week in mind, it best not backfire. We'll both be cheering Ashley young on come Wednesday.

I made quite a few changes to the team now (About 6 in total), so i decided to play my Wildcard. Hopefully, things will start to look better now

Waoh, 6 changes you say! Good job you played the wildcard or it woulda cost you mega points. Just stick to making one or two changes every couple of weeks, so as to react to upcoming fixtures. I look forward to seeing your newly constructed team.

Btw, if you want to continue to tweak this week, because you played your wildcard, you can make unlimited changes between now and Saturday morning. I played mine too this week, and I'm still unhappy, god knows what kinda team I'll have by the end of the week.

After looking at the teams I predict that if Aston Villa play well on Wednesday Machu should go top of the table again with the highest score for the week, and I may move up a spot, possibly two if Abongwhore and Dunne play well. I was shocked to see how bad your team had done Terranigma, it is not actually a bad team, just every player has under-performed this week.

I will try and keep my wildcard for after the January transfer window which reminds me, what happens if a player from your team goes to another club who is not in the premiership, if you get money for them and have to replace them do you get money based on the real life transfer fee, or on their performance in the FF league.

A player that gets sold to a team outside the Premiership? I haven't got a clue sorry, I imagine a hole will appear in your team all of a sudden. Then I assume, their current 'value' (based on FF form) will be available for a replacement. If a player gets sold within the premiership, then it is possible to have four players from one team at once (as I did with United, when Berbs joined mid season), but the moment you attempt to make transfers, it'll be on to you.

EDIT: Just realised dude, are your cute lil frog eyes emitting laser beams? What the...

Congratulations to my main man the Roondog! The babies called Kai. Get in lad!

Fergie, sign him up, Fergie Fergie, sign him up!

Kai? Seriously? That is one awesome name

Helllooo Ladies. Whats 'appnin?? Well good week for football so far. City drew (again!! ) Loserpool lose (again!! ) and utd won(ha, again!! ).Lovely (we wont mention chelski or the arse,eh? ).
Looking like a good week for Mr.Machu and the launcher of bovine. Well done guys Though not a bad week for anyone near the top (cep't for Terra , Bad luck dude,it can all change yet though man).
And congrats to Monsieur Rooney, Good on ya fella . I'll be joining him again myself in May as I have another little one on the way Yey ,that's right my demon seed strikes again,I think I'll tie a knot in it now though .
Anyhoo hope you all had good weekend's and are now fully enjoying the drudgery of the lovely weather and the working week , catch ya later dudes.

Congratulations fella. Really happy for you dude, yay! I hereby raise a glass.

Well, congratulations all round for MrMonkeyMan me thinks =D


I'll join Machu in raising you a (virtual) glass

Owen and Macheda up front, get in! Come on lads! Qualification awaits, woooh!

Can't stop thinking about Sunday though.

How do you join?

Awww cheers for the congrats guys, your the best. Really looking forward to it!

On topic: Wooh Utd are through, just! though we could've won it in the end if he had given that BLATENT penalty.Ah well at least we kept our home record in tact and have qualified.We looked shaky at the back but then it was a 'makeshift' team so we did OK I suppose. I think we need to invest in another defender and attacker/winger in January and get rid of Nani he just doesn't deliver the goods often enough I think he's had his chance IMO. Come next season we need a new keeper as well ,apparantly Fergies keen on tonights russian guy so who knows. And once again SAF slags off the Ref, though he was right I fear another fine may be coming our leaders way .

@Luigiman2 check out the first page of this thread where our dear Machu has outlined all you need to know. If you don't already have a team then your gonna be a bit behind in the league though you can always participate in the weekly competition for highest points scored in that Gameweek (Which BTW I think should have its own reward ,like a smaller chocolate /bacon trophy or similar for manager of the week HINT HINT @machu,rob,stevie you know your the creative dudes round these parts )

Congrats Luigi78 on your good news, I'll have a drink for you in celebration, and one for the little'un while I'm at it

I'll get to it creating something for our weekly Manager, will be ready for tomorrow after the final results come in.

Oh dear, Glen Johnson and Fabio Aurelio are both now injured for Liverpool, its looking more and more like their season could be over by christmas, should wipe the smiles of their faces
