A big

for most people on here tonight

Not for me. I stayed faithful to Bent.

Although I was planning to sell him this week. Might have to reconsider now. First bit of luck I've copped for a while so I'll welcome it with open arms.

Shame about Dann losing his cleanie but that's life.

O'Hara might have just earned himself a boni with that imo.

Well from the Sky commentary last night, N'Zogbia was everywhere, but he got nowt extra.

That was a joke last night, Insomnia was clearly MON, whoever made that decision should get to Specsavers.

O'Hara is a boni magnet though, people like Eagles etc seem to just attract them.

My predictions

Jerome - 3
O'Hara - 2
Benitez - 1

let's be honest, this game is really shit without a van Nistelrooy, Henry, or Ronaldo type character to consistently help the scores up.

That's just rubbish.

If anything its better and more challenging.

When 75% of people had Henry and captained him every week, the game was less fun imo.

don't care. this isn't my idea of entertainment. i'd have destroyed my team if i wasn't in a league with my mates - and i suppose that isn't the done thing. i really hate how the game has turned out this season.

Have to agree with you Alex. I much prefer these post banker days. Oh look. Super Warnock turns another great result in for the R's! 8-)

it makes no difference though really because everyone else has them too so its the other players who are key.

Chelsea sold as they got offereda lot of money for a guy who was perpetually injured for them.

Was in the bizarre situation of cheering Kanu's goal despite having 2 Bir defenders, as guy I'm chasing had 3.

I haven't enjoyed these season as much as the surfeit of doubles has aided the points-hit-takers at the expense of the tortoises such as myself. Was checking ot the overall leaders today, and a lot of them have done plenty of transfers, far more than in a normal season.

In from work, and enjoying the red card haul from my Bolton DGW players :lol:

Ive hated every minute of this gamewee and cant wait for it to be over even though Ive still got 2 players who may play tomorrow. Cheap players such as jerome, caldwell, rodallega and bent all get high scores while torres who is arguably best striker in the world gets 1pt against a poor defence! Hideous! Roll on next gameweek when hopefully the big guns will do what they are payed to do and get some bloody points!

Well, it has sorta turned into Fantasy Damage Limitation (FDL!) but there's 3 of us within about 20 points at the top of my league so the fun isn't in getting 100 points in a GW, it is in getting 5 or 10 points more than them, and then trying to work out their moves in the transfer market as well as my own. So I'm still playing...

thanks. at least someone who seems to understand. every move i make isn't working and real life is tough enough as it is, i don't need my "escape" to be some intractable nightmare too.

Sweeeeeeeeet. Called up my mate tonight, not knowing the scores and his immediate greeting was

"I suppose you're calling to gloat about Bent's hattrick"

Only downer was Carr not playing. Anyone have any info on why he wasn't even in the squad?

O'hara looking a bit of a must at that price. Been getting 2 or 3 bonus points even when they lose.

Yep I know what you mean. Decided to pack it in for this season a while pack, can't say I've missed it either which suprises me...I spent too long doing it when I wasn'teven enjoying it.
