      Sorry I couldn't access the site when I tried to post my reply for the last minutes.

      I agree that Anderson was decent on the ball and I was quite clear about it. I just think he's close to awful defensively and disagree that WBA's main threat came from the flanks.

      I basically think Anderson needs to be in a three man central midfield to be any good because he's not good enough defensively to be a DM and not good enough offensively to be an AM, and if you play him with another box to box style player like Cleverley you get overrun. Imagine what a better central midfield and strikers would do to them.

      Rooney did brilliantly, as did Young who was aggressive and nabbed the second. West Brom's Shane Long nabbed a goal for his debut looked decent as did Brunt but not much else.

      Utd's defense is in a shambles now though - Rafael out for ten weeks at least, Evra and Vidic injured too.

      Stoke-Chelsea was rather drab, but the United game was interesting. Very lively until Long's goal knocked the stuffing out of United a tad. De Gea was dodgy but people are blowing it a bit out of proportion. Vidic and Rio off injured (2 weeks and 6 weeks respectively). It was a typical United away goal that won it, but you couldn't really begrudge them despite WBA playing decent. They'll be disappointed not to get a point. United were missing a DM badly.

      Close one for Tipp by the way, makes for an interesting final.

      Stoke and WBA were good basically, and United won it at the end. On here STB talked about the refs, me and AP argued about Anderson and people wondered when they will get their assists. Same old.

          I did pretty much, I had to go back to England for a funeral so had my side picked on thursday, wasn't 100% pleased with it but it was pretty much how I wanted it. So wasn't too irate when I couldn't get on Saturday morning. The only change I would have made would have been to take out Alcaraz but not sure who I would have selected instead.
          All in all not bad.

    Overall, thoroughly underwhelmed with the weekend. FPL as a site has been a disaster, so many bugs, obviously well documented on here. But also discouraged people from joining and paying into my £££ league. Lack of live points is terrible. Delayed bonus is also terrible. And no updates to leagues is mildly annoying.

    On a lighter note, went with Schwarzer, Riise, Hughes and Hangeland in my Sun dream team (all comps count - Europa league). Thats paid off this weekend.

    One Man United fan just called in moaning about how Sir Alex "could've done a lot more for Man United over the years".

    Another called in straight after having a go at the De Gea signing, saying Given should've been signed instead. Although Robbie Savage tried to explain (numerous times) the guy couldn't seem to work out that City would never have sold Given to United because in his mind "money talks". It's moneybags Man bloody City. Jeeeeesus H. Christ Esquire. Facepalms all round.

          I tried to listen as Barton was on, but just got bored. He said absolutely nothing controversial whatsoever. Just spent 15 mins describing a few seconds worth of handbags.

          Yeah seriously. With a bit of luck and a 2/3-0 win for City you could be looking at 60+

          I'm afraid to say it but it was RVP. Hopefully he might get a bonus but I doubt it.

        I've got Kompany and Silva to come too. Silva captain. Hoping he's going to rescue my week.

    Real vs Barca in 2 hours for those of you who have not had their football fix yet! Spanish super cup, guess it could be good with the recent history of those two teams.

    as a spurs fan, i can see us going down by 3 next week at OT, Man utd are the one team we cannot beat. So if you have Man utd players i would keep them.
