Still confident then Jack???

what is all this bottom 5 bollocks
March 31 at 5:06 pm
DJerbil-Bucharesti: Fabrice in My Heart says:
its a league where u have to set a new team with players from 5 Bottom clubs only
March 31 at 5:09 pm
disparate dan - a reasonably big dog says:
why am i not in it?
March 31 at 5:11 pm
Sleep Talk says:
Parmtree has the codes in his name. The rules are simple, only pick players from Wolves, Wigan, QPR, Bolton and Blackburn.
March 31 at 5:14 pm
disparate dan - a reasonably big dog says:
when did this start??
March 31 at 5:20 pm
Sleep Talk says:
The idea popped up last Tuesday, so this was the first active GW.

I have dedicated my new grav to the legend that is Fernando Torres

Guess I’m going to have to wait
March 31 at 5:06 pm

It’s an abstract take on the theme, I’d say.
March 31 at 5:05 pm
Passionated says:
A 4 – 3 Blackburn win with Rooney scoring a hattrick will do very nicely on Monday.
March 31 at 5:05 pm
sotothemightygreek says:
Me: Skrtel, Siggy and Dempsey bonus points
Leader: BAE and Walcott bonus points + 15
Do I have a chance? Looks unlikely doesn’t it.
March 31 at 5:07 pm
Kerrazy says:
question is will walcott get any?
March 31 at 5:15 pm
sotothemightygreek says:
Bear in mind it’s only 1 lot of Dempsey BP’s as my rival has him too. Walcott probably won’t get any by the sounds of it. I basically need a Liverpool cleanie and a Siggy goal. I just can’t see it.
March 31 at 5:05 pm
jkisthe1 - Hola Los Colchoneros says:
1-1 Spurs v Swans please, Siggy goal, not arsed who scores for Spurs as long it’s not BAE
March 31 at 5:05 pm
DJerbil-Bucharesti: Fabrice in My Heart says:
Dempsey 3 BAPS??
March 31 at 5:06 pm
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
Some for sure, but hard to tell without watching/stats
March 31 at 5:07 pm
Sarnab-Wazzagoal says:
maybe.. he has 1 shot on target and 4 off target..
duff also has an outside chance to get 3. he had 1/1 on target.
March 31 at 5:08 pm
DJerbil-Bucharesti: Fabrice in My Heart says:
4 off target…then no chance
March 31 at 5:12 pm
Sarnab-Wazzagoal says:
still better than vanpersie
March 31 at 5:06 pm
Sarnab-Wazzagoal says:
Love u duffman..Fulham CS would have sealed it today. anyways well played.

Choice between Verm and Komp for me, so at least it wasn’t that much of a disaster.
March 31 at 5:07 pm
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
Hart, Cahill, Verm = 1 point!

elniñorules: CL & ECL Matchday 6 Previews Up (Write-ups Tab) says:
Just seen Torres got 2 assists. Don’t think the second one will stay.
March 31 at 5:09 pm
moment says:
Watched the game, they will. First was a shot that was blocked and came to Studge. 2nd was a header on a corner for Iva’s 2nd goal. There was a question that he might have assisted Iva’s first, but it didn’t look like he touched it. But the 2 assists he has are nailed on.
All of which confirms why I shouldn’t have listened to the folks on here who told me not to bring him in.

Roberto Newman-Cini! 15 million pound scarf: check. 45 million pound Yaya: check. 88 million pound hairstylings: check. Eez Simplez: I win. . says:
Trust me, long term, you will thank those who told you not to get him.
Remember the last time Torres was ‘back?’
Last goal of the year for him, I’ll bet.
March 31 at 5:11 pm
Mark's Favourite Hat says:
which one? The one for Ivanovic’s 2nd header is 100% Torres assist
March 31 at 5:06 pm
jimnastics says:
*waiting for Halnone to tell us he made Balotelli captain for the 3rd page running*

Sporting Abeergut says:
one small ray of hope today, i think i might beat my main ML rival:
him: 25 + Skrtel, King
me: 20 + Krul, Valencia, PCisse, Siggy
you never know.
March 31 at 5:08 pm
Milanista - taking FCK to Europa glory says:
27 goals today. Anyone get less than 1 of them? My bottom five team got 2…
March 31 at 5:10 pm

Zero.
March 31 at 5:12 pm

Got rid in WC this week! For Miyachi (should of gone for Davies like I intended to)
March 31 at 5:13 pm

A lot of people have Moses, including me
Never doubt the holy one!
March 31 at 5:08 pm

my Valencia (C) isn’t looking too silly right now then! but of course..Roonpig could be up for a bigger haul.
March 31 at 5:08 pm
Acquafresca says:
Kelly 2 pts outscores Kompany 1 AND verm 0 together….
March 31 at 5:09 pm
Roonatic says:
And Cahill 0
March 31 at 5:09 pm
viewoftheland says:
Thank god for Leighton. My heavy hitting backline with him Verm, Cahill and Evans to come would be looking like right mugs without him.
March 31 at 5:10 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "If you understand football you make substitutions during the game, if you don't you make comments after it." says:
Way too heavy in defence there dude.
March 31 at 5:11 pm
Jack(off)Attack - Beşiktaş, Group E Champions. says:
His attack has hardly suffered.
March 31 at 5:11 pm
Lad V says:
What’s so heavy? Evans and Cahill are not expensive.
March 31 at 5:13 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "If you understand football you make substitutions during the game, if you don't you make comments after it." says:
£5.3 for a rotation risk isn’t ideal on top of Verm and Baines.
March 31 at 5:15 pm
viewoftheland says:
Cahill not looking great today agreed, but 8,7,8 before that has seen me alright. Will have to see how Luiz’s injury goes.
March 31 at 5:15 pm
Lad V says:
Well, his rotation risk was not obvious before today
March 31 at 5:18 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "If you understand football you make substitutions during the game, if you don't you make comments after it." says:
You’re annoying me. Off you go.
March 31 at 5:10 pm

Baines forever!

March 31 at 5:13 pm
Manani says:
if things go accroding to plan, which usually don’t
March 31 at 5:14 pm
Roonatic says:
Haha unfortunately. Could easily see Gerrard or Cisse pulling off something ridiculous.
March 31 at 5:09 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "If you understand football you make substitutions during the game, if you don't you make comments after it." says:
RVP is boring me now.
March 31 at 5:12 pm
Jack(off)Attack - Beşiktaş, Group E Champions. says:
Sell him
Go on, do it.
March 31 at 5:13 pm
Hutton dressed as Lahm says:
Me too. I might go with Balotelli, Torres and Carroll, for kicks!
March 31 at 5:10 pm
Tommy J says:
I need to stop taking notice of advice on this site(totally accept it’s my decision to listen!) I was taking out Ba for Ballo(c) but I think I was described as reckless and Mark’s pre match preamble made me wobble as well. Pity it was the differential I needed to make headway on the leaders ho hum….
