Spurs might finally have some motivation, and they've got (on paper) winnable fixtures. Plus Chelsea are going to be there for the overtaking due to fixture congestion.

Assou-Ekoto is still the top scoring defender in the game, even if they've gone a bit shit lately.
He scored a lot in a short space of time, but he's very inconsistent now. Evra has scored 13 more points, too. ;)

Well, yeah, but you told everyone to buy James McLean a bit ago, and he's done shit all since then.
Loathe him or hate him, you can't argue with what Fergie has achieved in 26 years at Old Trafford - single-handedly turning United from a much-loved, much-admired club into probably the most reviled in world football... At 71 years of age, Fergie has seen it all, and drunk most of it. Now he intends to enjoy retirement in the best way possible - by watching his successor struggle to match his achievements.
David Moyes had been widely talking about as becoming the next United boss by wildly hopeful Premier League chairmen. Yesterday their prayers were on the verge of being answered. Well, all those except for those of Tony Fernandes who is praying someone stupid buys his players.

You want it both ways. You want to have your cake and fucking eat it to. You want to fuck the shit out of that cake, and have that cake get your family's approval. I'm not sure which way to go on this one... it might be a chance for you to learn an early lesson in not giving a fuck what other people think. A lesson every man has to learn sooner or later.

This must have been a very hard last five years for you.

Wish I'd put the armband on Eagles this week. 16 points!

It has indeed, but I've only been doing fantasy prem for three. ;)

Hey, I was a n00b at the start, so finishing fourth or whatever was awesome.

Then last season, I must have been pretty close to winning. Second?

So yeah, now I don't want to lose. It's called improving.

throughsilver was runner up to me last season. I'm pulling a Newcastle this year, and hoping to cling on to the last Champions League spot. Dug a hole early in the season, and can't get out.

Well, after all that, I missed the top 4... by one point. If Ryan Shotton hadn't come off the bench and done nothing in the last week (amongst other 'more points on the bench than on the pitch' mistakes I made this year), I'd have reached the DVDVR Champion's League places. Instead, I'm in the DVDVR Europa League, sort of.

Actually, thinking about it, we could set up H2H leagues in that vein if we wanted. Next season, I'd better do IKTS again, I killed everyone at that last year. Just Godzilla'd the whole league of 4 other guys who were playing at the start (a few gave up at one point or another).

Sheesh if I'd played Howard instead of Al Habsi in the last match, his 3 points would have taken me to joint 4th, heh. 4 points from 4th-7th is pretty close.

Final table. Good contest, lads.

Glad Hawkeye beat Johnny Skins as the latter seems to have forsaken us ;)

Past leagues, as I'm a dork like that. Why did we all suck last season? They haven't been changing scoring...

I scored less points this season...

I guess everyone figured out the Van Persie/Rooney captain trick very early on in the season, and rode it for a ton of points.

We all did better in 09-10, too. It must partly be the fact that top scorer last season was about 21? Rooney and RVP did massive numbers compared to that. Remember that first month or so, when it seemed like Rooney, Aguero and Dzeko would finish up on Ronaldo/Messi numbers?

I guess in 09-10 we had Chelsea absolutely hammering everyone for a few months.

Forsaken?  Pshaw.  I, just like Arsenal, have no notion of ever finishing higher than third in these financially unfair times.  Although, I did fade a bit that last month.  Too stressful.

Have to admit I pretty much did nothing after the first third of the season. Sorry about that, I hate when others do it in leagues I join so shame on me for perpetuating the behavior.

Wow, Skins! I actually thought you'd stopped posting. Glad to see you.
