EPL Fantasy League Week 12
« on: November 02, 2007, 12:48:53 PM » |

Took a 4 point hit and made a double switch. Got rid of Torres and picked up Elano, finally. Had to make another change to keep the lineup legal - picked up Keane in that process  The freakin Arsenal-ManU game isn't on FCS   |

Not to rub it in.  Well, actually, yeah, that was all about rubbing it in.  Finally enough dinero to dump Howard and pick up a cheap but performing forward. Probably Benjani although I haven't had a good look at things yet. |

No Irish Gastropubs are open that early.
Want me to aske/pbp it for you? Maybe five times a half or so?

Thanks for the offer, but not necessary. My co-worker Dave has Setanta and is going to record it for me. Of course, he's a ManU fan and threatened to edit out any Arsenal goals before giving it to me  . But, in my desperation to see what should be a hell of a game - I signed up for Setanta Broadband and will be watching in a small window on my PC. ....as Directv starts to look more and more appealing  |

Hicks and his boys get lucky. Just kidding. Good match and the correct result was a draw. The commentators didn't like the first half but I thought it was good. I like defensive football (of both kinds) and good challenges/takeaways are enjoyable soccer for me. A few observations: 1) Fabregas got a goal but giving him a three point bonus was a bit much. He didn't do a thing other than that. And, trust me, I like him getting bonus points as he's my captain. 2) Wayne Rooney is the most dangerous player in English football. Maybe the world. 3) Walcott changes games. His pace I expect. 4) Anderson is a thug among thugs. How Ferguson can complain about the officiating when Anderson got away with the "waving the yellow" thing is a bit much. Not to mention the three act play which in my opinion earned Fabregas his yellow. |

1) Perhaps the bonus was a bit much, but with the team game they play he is the engine that keeps it going. You may not hear his name much because of all the one-touch passing. 2) I agree - Rooney is looking great right now. 3) I agree again, he challenges the defense every time he gets the ball - just wish that final touch was better. 4) And yes - Anderson looked like a thug out there. There were a few lame calls in the second half (I think the ref went too far in trying to make sure a tight game didn't get out of control), but they went both ways - not sure how Ferguson can complain. I thought it was a good match - Arsenal proved they can move the ball against anyone and maintained the better possession, but the strong ManU defense limited the final chances. I hate to admit it, but the Ronaldo goal was beautifully setup and executed. The Rooney 'goal' (Gallas' own-goal) was unfortunate though - certainly made a difference in the match. This must have been the most watched match Setanta Broadband has ever had - the bandwidth sucked . If its like that all the time, I not renewing next month. City better do well tomorrow, or I'm losing my spot  And buck up Seamus - the season isn't even to the half-way point  |

Both Mark and I have Elano. Plus I have Dunne. I think you're going to need a clean sheet by Hart (which also gives me points for Dunne) plus a great game by Petrov to keep your spot. Spanky, you're looking good so far this weekend plus you also have Elano and Petrov standing by for tomorrow. Should be a good total before all is said and done. Who's the new guy? |

Especially when you consider Schmiechel hasn't started for about a month now and you're going to get Reina and his seven points on substitution. |

He and I have played soccer together for several years, but I'm not sure he follows the EPL that much. Its all about coaching his girls teams right now. |
