REF: M Halsey 6

I thought Nani had a good game from the highlights, set up 2 a 6 rating a little harsh?

I think two goals in the Brum v Liverpool game is just wishful thinking from the reporter...

Howard deserved a 9 in the Everton game IMO Still got 7 but without a string of saves Everton could have got 2 late late goals and still lost by 4 or 5!

totally agree Chris

Carragher 5 are the the sun not reading my debate with Dot over the Tam clan not picking all the Liverpool defenders

They obviously need a bit more time to assess Alex's performance, giving him a '?' for the time being

I think Berbatov should have got MOTM.

Shocking ratings.

I can deduce from this that the WDT winner will be someone obscure.

Having been at the game, Dyer deserved better than a 5, he brought West Ham to life in the second half. He was much better than Boa Morte anyway.

Drogba was awful and never deserved a 7. I hardly noticed he was on the pitch to be honest, apart from his trademark arched-back dives. The rest of the ratings for this match are about right.

Ivanovic 6.

Haha i was effing right all along.

HAHA



Ask Arch, he knows more than most





I can see Ivanovic's tombstone now..

Here lies, blah blah blah etc. etc.

Hard in the tackle, strong in defence, got more Graeme Rixes than Sachin Tendulkar

Poor bustard



Essien 9

How do you do it stinky? At least a starman or two should ease the pain of having Ian Dury's

Aint half been some clever bustards

I'm sure I've seen half your last few posts (ie. the IVANOVIC ones) somewhere before Stinky!

Ps. In another thread, you stated Mourinho's interest in Kolorov as "being enough" for you. Or words to that effect. Does that mean that you never actually saw Kolorov play before picking him or that Mourinho's opinion swayed you on what you were already thinking of doing (because you had indeed already seen Kolorov play)?

Yours avidly,

Neil.

Hehe Neil.

I wouldnt class myself as a chosen one (outside of FF)

Kolarov is the dogs nuts, and yes i had researched him, and so did Man City.

Did you ever pay nearly 20m for nowt

Bosseli - 4 - looks like a waste of space.

Me personally or Liverpool?



I'm assuming you mean me, in which case "NO". Liverpool on the other hand...

Hi Stinky !....i see you've scored one point this week ! ( 159 pts. ) ....i'm pulling further away from you, on 206 pts, thanks to Essien & Cahill.

He sure does, but he might go on a freaky run of scoring eventually, and at a cheap 1.5 might be worth keeping hold.

One goal will do his world no end of confidence, keep the faith

Yes times are hard for the stinker, but we only 4 games in.

Come to me in May Rob

Aquilani Neil

Ratings gents?

A good set for a lot of people (who may be down in the dumps with all the injuries);

clean sheet and 7's for Foster, RJ and Dann
7's for Cole, Terry and Drogba

Bale 7
VdV star man... I dont remember seeing him on the brief motd highlights


Adam goal, star man and clean sheet

8/10 for Phil Jones

Fabregas, Murphy and Scholes star men


All of which will boost a lot of teams.
Interesting to see the tables tomorrow morning.

Yes, i noticed this Zimm, some handy ratings about.

Glen Johnson also got some and couple that with Essiens haul, it looks like the Stinker is back in the ELITE game

you could always have a look now Nev

I will Stinky....i'm keeping a close eye on you !

Especially the Elite table Zim

You're still on double-digits

Edmo struggling too.

CL will shake it up this week coupled with Drogba's suspension, going into next weekend things will be hotting up in the only league that matters

are they already updated?

What exactly does this mean? If you have something to say, just come right out and say it.

Which genius told me Essien wouldnt reach Walcott's tally?

Maybe he wont, but with 6 games til TW1, and nowt behind, i'm smug as a bug in a rug

I know, a woeful showing for my Elite team

STINKY, Since you replied after me I reckon you have read what I posted.

You have been making veiled remarks about me working for a newspaper for a while now with absolutely nothing to back it up.

I am more than happy to go on record and say that I do not work for The Sun or any other newspaper and I have no involvement in the Dream Team other than entering a few teams.

I know, a woeful showing for my Elite team [/quote]

How are you doing, outside the elite league, Zimm ? What's your best team, score ?

It aint pretty right now.... just hoping things settle down now a bit ahead of TW1.

No idea what my top scoring team is (and I cant access it on my work computer).
