Title: EPL Fantasy - Week 8
Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 28, 2007, 04:03:24 PM
So, does Hicks start Torres or what?   ??? :o :P 8)

Also, I'm proud to announce that I am officially Chelsea free.  I picked up a United git to make it so.  I guess you can't have everything.  ;)

He's in the lineup right now.  Wish I could fire Rafa - that bastard may well give away any chance Liverpool has.  Lets see, he's your record signing, he is scoring goals, but heh - lets sit him and take draws rather than wins  ::)   Freaking dumbass.  If they continue to give away points with Torres on the bench...... Rafa will be headed back to Spain soon enough.

I still have one Chelsea player in Essien.  But with Gilberto surprisingly not playing a lot and Chelsea in a seeming free fall, next weeks transfer may get interesting  :-\

The Anfield faithful won't put up with much more.  They're murmuring already.

I think he's just doing a Ferguson disinformation thing.  Torres will start with Kuyt up front (my predictions are usually worth *fudge* all unfortunately).  The big ??? for me is Gerrard.  He really needs to start producing.

Big week for Santa Cruz at Sunderland.  That's my second prediction of the post.  Let's see if I get even one of them right.

Hmmmm, my predicitons suck as well - but I'll give it a shot.

1)  Tevez - I think he is starting to feel comfortable and will get points this week at a marginal Birmingham squad.

2)  Van Persie - I don't think the London derby will be a high scoring affair, but with all eyes on Adebayor's recent form Van Persie may find some room (fingers crossed).

Dark horse pick - Essien, as Chelsea mans up and wins one again.

Well I was dead on about the London derby and Van Persie  ;D   But of course, not with enough confidence to make him my captain  :(

What happened to Reading  ??? [sm_shock]

I told 5 Star Reds last night that I was worried about Pompey.  My opinion is they're soft in the back and will have to outscore people.  I surely didn't think they'd allow four goals and still win walking away. 

Shorey was a heart attack for me today.  Misses a PK, scores an extra-time goal and gets dinged for allowing seven.   :o

Hunt on the other hand treated me well.   ;D

C'mon Reo-Coker!!!

ManU looked *feces*ey, but the defense stood strong for me again  ;D

Looks like some poor weeks thus far for all of us  [sm_disgust]

I think it's a bad week for almost everyone in the game.  With 48 points I moved up 2-3 spots in my other league.  There were only 6-7 guys with more than 50 points and only two of those had over 60 points (60 players in the league).  I also jumped about 18,000 spots in the overall standings.  Still two matches to play though and I only have one player in them.

They took away Santa Cruz's assist.  Bastages.
