I didn't do well in the fantasy league in the last 4-5 seasons, and I used to lose interest after a few weeks. This is the first time I'm doing so well (athough last 3 weeks have been pretty average)

PS. Thank you Luis Suarez for the 32 points yesterday http://www.pokecommunity.com/images/templates/smilies/cerulean/20.%20boogie.gif

Eruption November 10th, 2013 2:57 AM

The odd thing is I've kept up to date with my other fantasy teams, I just forgot about ours.

I suppose I'll take the draw as long as we get a run of form when we appoint a manager.

That was a very important 45 minutes for Hughton yesterday.

And finally Southampton just look ridiculously good at the moment.

Weeaboo Name November 10th, 2013 6:44 AM

West Ham game was a funny one. Snodgrass and Fer had awful games and then came up with goals. Hughton continues to start Howson in a ''restrained'' role where he's totally ineffective, he even seems to lose the ability to play simple passes when held back. We looked more solid and lively at the back without Bassong, might be down to his fitness I suppose.

Yet again Hoolahan and Becchio didn't get on the pitch, sad but I think both of those will shipped off soon. Hope they find good homes.

Stupid international breaks again >:(

Atleast a derby win should make the wait worhtwhile.

Weeaboo Name November 12th, 2013 9:23 AM

It does indeed feel better going into one on the back of a win.

I'm actually looking forward for this break though thanks to the Portugal vs Sweden playoff games.

Banz November 13th, 2013 6:40 PM

I mean there's the Merseyside derby to look forward to after the break.
Atleast there's Sachin Tendulkar's last match to watch meanwhile. I hope it lasts more than 3 days.

Eruption November 14th, 2013 10:32 AM

I should've posted earlier about it, but yay new Boro manager. Could go right, could go wrong, I suppose we'll see.

Yeah international breaks are really annoying, but I'm interested to see what Iceland will do at least.

Weeaboo Name November 14th, 2013 10:41 AM

Certainly an interesting appointment.

Beyond Infinity November 14th, 2013 11:00 AM

Apparently Mourinho recommended he go to Boro. I assume it's more to get him into England, rather than Jose's deep-seated love of Teeside?

Since I am new here, just going to throw out the teams I support: Manchester United, Bournemouth and Falkirk. (Also, want Wimbledon to do well.)

Eruption November 15th, 2013 2:39 AM

Well we had a few good results against Chelsea in Jose's first spell including a 3-0 win over them so maybe he has built up an idea of us being a good team. I don't know, but just speculating.

I think we have a couple of Manchester United fans so you'll share something there. I'll probably have a fair clue on Bournemouth so long as they're in the Championship.

I think the long term plan is to win the Champions League within three years...

Vincent Del Bosque and Chris Coleman have both signed contract extensions. One is not a suprise at all, slightly suprised by Coleman though.

Amore November 21st, 2013 12:51 PM

I'm surprised by Coleman...but at the same time not. If he were sacked, it would've been down to short-termism in football than any major wrongdoing - when you consider until August Bale was Wales only top-class player, and he missed most internationals, what do you expect the guy to do? Wales with Ramsey and Bale in attack...could be more interesting when trying to qualify for the Euros.
Also, Manchester United's injury crisis is apparently going to lead to the use of Anderson. We're screwed. I'd rather Moyes convinced Rooney to take one for the team, and played either Kagawa or Van Persie behind Hernandez up front to be honest.

Anderson
Are you joking? Please, please say you are joking.

Put in an unfit Fletcher. Put in Cleverly. We have youth prospects. We have goalkeepers, put Lindegaard or Amos in instead of Anderson.

But seriously, as you say, either play two strikers with Carrick and Rooney in midfield would be perfect for me. Rooney, although he does want to play there, was glorious against Aston Villa last season in that CM role.

Then, I'd like to see Zaha and Nani or Valencia on the wings myself.

Banz November 22nd, 2013 4:30 AM

Finally we've got some good owners at the club now. Luis Suarez was supposed to return late from international duty and might have even missed the derby but John Henry sent his private jet to pick him up so that he'd be back 2 days before the game.

Eruption November 22nd, 2013 9:00 AM

So once again we're back to proper football. No more breaks until March yay.

You never know with players like Anderson at some point they may just finally surprise you and play well for a while. Surely his United contract should be up soon?

Banz November 22nd, 2013 9:38 AM

James Anderson is a better footballer than him.

Banz November 23rd, 2013 5:39 AM

Really good first half. Hope Suarez's injury isn't anything serious. He now has as many goals as Spurs in the league. {XD}

Weeaboo Name November 23rd, 2013 5:48 AM

Has been good. So glad Mirallas didn't get sent off.

I saw him have a cracking game in Europe a few seasons back. Never done much from it mind.

Great game at Goodison. Allen should have scored, mind. Hoping for an Everton win, but it really could go either way.

EDIT: 2-2 now! That must be why Mourinho loaned out Lukaku.

Weeaboo Name November 23rd, 2013 6:45 AM

All those set piece goals. Was like a game of Football Manager.

Banz November 23rd, 2013 7:26 AM

Really dissapointed with the result. The look on Mignolet's face after conceding the third goal says it all.

Weeaboo Name November 23rd, 2013 7:44 AM

Norwich playing awfully. Only took 2 minutes for normal service to be resumed after the win a couple of weeks ago.

MxY November 23rd, 2013 12:28 PM

Is anyone following italian Serie A?

Banz November 23rd, 2013 8:09 PM

I don't really watch it. Follow the scores and results sometimes.

Banz December 1st, 2013 3:51 AM

Wow Arsenal have a 7 point lead over everyone else.
Then there's a 3 point gap between 2nd and 8th positions.
