Andy Here’s the usual heads-up to remind all of the early risers that the Saturday Surgery is once again open for those seeking answers to questions in the final minutes before another gameweek deadline closes.
With a mixed bag on the horizon -ranging from blank fixtures for some, to double headers for others – there’s plenty to consider in the last 90 minutes or so. – hence the opening of the chatroom for those searching for a quick-fire yay or nay to any given dilemma.
Decent video of Peter Beardsley here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLdRuLZNvgg&feature=related
One of the best players I have had the privilege of seeing live. Awesome player.
Newcastle, Liverpool and Everton legend.
Good ol' Quasimodo
That goal cracked me up though, what the fook is the Man City midfielder thinking when Beardley gets the ball facing his own goal, and the midfielder just stops and try to stop him going backwards or something. What a bellend.
Cracking video. Didn't know he was that good. Looks absolutely amazing.
Oh, and I love when YouTube clips only show one clip of each goal. Can't stand watching 5 slow motion replays of every goal in a compilation!
Doesn't really do him justice Garg, he was a fantastic pro for a good long career too.
hello
had it in mind to bring in dempsey for the double, dropping nasri, but now im not so sure of what to do because i dont see anyone ID be comfortable benching. My front 8 next week:
Lamps(WHM), Nani(EVE), Vdv(WBA), Adam (NEW), Nasri(bol)
Rooney(EVE), Gyan(WIG), RVP (bol)
it seems prety strong as is, if i benched nasri. but no DGWers. I could just anticipate the inevitable unavailability (say that 5 times fast) of one of my players to make the decision for me. What do you guys think? as of now i have no DGWers.
Luckily for me, i have the same team except i've got Zigic instead of rooney. Sorted 😉
so i will just drop rooney for zigic.
PERFECT 🙂
wow, thought i was lucky getting a post at the top of the page. Prime real estate. Tons of views, loads of responses.....
I am probably going to do NAsri->Dempsey unless he shows some vastly improved form this GW.
but would you do it at the expense of benching of of the other options considering their fixtures? thats kinda the advice Im hunting for.
if im benching gyan, should i consider gyan->sturridge instead then bench nasri?
i just dont know if i can sit a guy home to wigan, I already have enough ulcers.
who will get the more points this week gents?
nasri & anelka
walcott & drogba
might go and put a cheeky tenner on it goin to pens...
i hope so, cos that means i'll be close behind and at a lifetime high
I'm at the ground at the moment, word is Torres starts, Drogba on bench. 🙂
Posting at the ground, good form. Shouldn't you be downing the beers though?!
Not really a big drinker, aha!
Only two people in the queue have said this to me though, so it obviously isn't 100%.
Ah well, if two people in the queue have said it, THEN IT MUST BE TRUE!! 😀
Plus, I've never ever seen them before! 😀
Oh well, anymore updates and I'll be on here.
Also, my phone never works in Stamford Bridge. Absolute nightmare for trying to check the other scores (namely the goals and assists ;)) at half time.
Haha, mine works when in the concourse but never up in the stand.
Drogba being on the bench would be wonnnnderful. Keep up the covert ops SD!
A rare thing these days but
+1
Ohhh - sh*t!!! 😡
If I'm wrong I'll change my name to SuperDorrans 14 when I get home.
is malouda looking miserable? and not in the french pouty sacre bleu i am beautiful kind of way
it rarely seems that anyone goes to games on here... anyone who does should always post from there!
wow look at this unconventional team of the fpl world #1
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=1399042&event=33
is it that crazy? he basically doesn't own lampard and rvp, only the latter is perhaps surprising
We can rest assured that Nani will start now at least, as the #1 in the world at any given time always is immensely lucky.
Random, although liking the fact he's doubled up on chelsea defenders, has hernandez and has gone for arsenl player as captain. All in line with my team.
Hernadez would've been a good shout...
just looks like an average team!
who am i?
born in 1972 i moved from my home country to play in spain, then tried portugal. a year later i really got noticed winning the golden boot in belgium despite playing in midfield. a move to italy followed where i won 3 trophies in 4 years including the uefa cup. i then got a move to london where on my home debut i played in front of a fullback who shares my first name.
damn right
Last bit gave it away, at least for me. The 'We've got two Marios' chant was an absolute classic at the Bridge for a while.
Not his biggest fan though, at all. Scored twice - one being a blinder - on his debut, then got injured (and had a haircut) and was never as good after that.
i scored a wonder goal on that debut
Bought Baird for Djourou with the DGW next week in mind...then rebought Djorou for Coleman for a hit. Seems slightly silly in hindsight :/
Next Season's team. Bored so thought I'd draft my £100M team for start of next season (if all players still in Prem). Thoughts / different teams (cannot go over £100M):-
Cech, Begovic. Luiz, Bardsley, Hangeland, Coleman, Huth.
Valencia, VDV, Adam, O'Hara, Davies. Tevez, Carroll, Van P.
i was once told to not bother planning 3 gameweeks ahead. You sir have taken it to a whole nother level. I think you need to consider the promoted teams. Think of all the cheap carrols, adams, etc to consider.
Coleman will be a midfielder next year.
cant wait for next season with all ive learned this season thanx to you guys
accumulation of team value benefitting the wild card, takin note of price rises, early bandwaggons, always bringing in players about to go up in value, planning for the 5 games ahead....anymore?
your link aint workin demi btw
wud add maybe controlling the hits a little better
jus so much dam fun
you must have been absent, surely you would have noted my recommendation of watching Leprechaun 5: In the Hood, as one of your cherished pearls of wisdom found here.
😆
One change for us since last week, Morrison in for Cox.
carson, reid, meite, olsson, shorey, scharner, ym, brunt, morrison, thomas, po
They've been brilliant since they dropped him. 😆
Reid has something like 6 assists in 10 starts and can defend... it's made a world of difference.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's not be nasty now.
Anyway, only a couple of Reid's assists have come since Jara was dropped. Most of them came earlier in the season, when I think he was playing in midfield, at least the majority of the time.
a teletubby up front is genuis. will definitely bamboozle terry
Who am I?
I was born in Lambeth, London in 1970. I began my career at Arsenal, but it was when I was on loan at Leyton Orient that people began to notice me. I finally became established in the Arsenal first team in the 1990-91 season.
In 1995 I joined Nottingham Forest where I spent three seasons. I had a brief and unsuccessful stint abroad before I later joined one of the big Merseyside clubs scoring the winner in a derby.
I left on a free and joined one of the midlands clubs for a season before joining Cardiff. I retired in 2007.
Kevin Campbell. He's a bit of a quiz legend. Him, Finnan and Earnshaw.
Damn! Two mins and one guess! Bah I give up.
Who am I?
I am a much maligned Portugese footballer who joined Manchester United from Sporting Clube de Portugal. I mainly play as a midfielder/winger and like rolling around on the floor once or twice each game.
Hey guys!
In a tight race for my mini league. Which team do you guys think will do better this gameweek??
A)
Foster
Walker
Lampard(c) Walcott
Drogba Bent V.Persie
B)
Harper
Johnson R
Nasri Essien Fabregas
Torres .Persie(c)
And also
A)
Walker Coleman
Lampard(c) Walcott
V.persie Bent Drogba
B)
Vidic Baines
Nzogbia Arshavin
V.persie(c) Berbatov Beckford
Everton line-up?
Waiting for the inevitable news that Drogba's been dropped.
Shut it! He's going to play!
Who Am I?
I played most famously for Blackburn and Newcastle, I am a f*cking legend.
Darren Peacock
David Batty
Erm no....... *shifts guiltily*
keith gillespie? andrew cole?
No he's geordie...
Keith Gillespie
damien duff? not alan shearer?

It was DavidAlan Shearatty.
I win.
Villa.Friedel/Walker Collins Dunne L Young/Downing Petrov Reo Coker A Young/Heskey Bent
heskey in the house!
Who Am I?
I am a striker who still plays in the Premier League. My top scoring season was 2008-2009 with 12 goals. I once dominated Evra so badly that he had to be taken off at half time with United a goal down. They still got beat.
Correct. Only posted for the line about Evra 😆
always good to hear
your auto-sub malarky gets me more often than I'd like. Seeing Lamps on your bench made me 8o at first.
team news in 4 letters record
BLACKBURN XI: Robinson, J Jones, Olsson, Samba, Givet, Emerton, Dunn, Santa-Cruz, Rochina, Salgado, P Jones
EVERTON XI: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Neville, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Gueye, Beckford
Subs:Mucha, Coleman, Vellios, Anichebe, Rodwell, Mustafi, Forshaw
Coleman on bench non shocker. PFA Young Player of the Year nominee so bad that he can't get in the side ahead of Gueye.
Give it up seriously. 18 months ago the lad was playing amatuer football.
coleman you priiiiiiiiiick
Get Coleman on for 30 seconds at the end, would be nice!!!!
Coleman on the bench. Sale vindicated.
that guy on everton's bench, he's maybe not essential but at least a mustaf http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JNFvqLZICLI/TGnmIrBljyI/AAAAAAAAB4I/zspYH6vmTk4/s1600/BDD_tumbleweed_head_perfectuk.jpg
when kean drops pedersen despite the team going down hill since he's done so it makes me want him to get relegated even more
Rochina debut?
Born in 1965, I've played for two different countries, have a Champions League winners' medal, and was the top scorer at a European Championship. I've played in England and Italy, as well as having two seprate spells in Germany. I finished my career in south west london. Who am I?
Two different countries? Are they German then?
Oh yeah good shout.
Darko Kovaceivic
Should have read the question fully 😀
Nope. Okay I'll give one more clue. At international level, I'm a World Cup winner, and also was part of the side that finished third in South Korea.
Wow. Seriously obscure thing to know.
Smashing set of players who won the EURO top scorers that year,
Henrik Larsen
Germany Karlheinz Riedle
Netherlands Dennis Bergkamp
Sweden Tomas Brolin
Yep you got it.
Anyone done well with transfers on Fifa 11? Need some help..
On the Ultimate Team bit?
Nah regular game. I made a massive cock up buying DeGea as he's 20 and wont improve til he's 21.
I have about 15 mil to spend and I need a CB and CM. Looking long term I want high potential players. I got Cissoko, he's already on 83 :0
Was thinking Rodwell and or Samba ?
Sorry Teets I don't play the regular one. I prefer FM2011 for that kind of management stuff.
So, people... Do you think this is the most important gw of the season?
just me then
