        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.

      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.
