Yahoo Fantasy EPL Week 6. Mossy Athletic Unseats the Church! I, however still dwell in the basement. Interesting switches in the table afoot.
"Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can here me. Is there anyone at home?" Crapulent table and more inside...

Shit...why is my team such shit?! Shit!

That's what Houllier says to himself every week Starfucker. I thought you had unlimited free transfers in this Yahoo league. Can't you just get rid of your shit players?

Hey hey, don't get too far ahead of yourself there, lilnemo. They haven't added (or deducted) points for Sunday's two games yet. I'm edging ever closer to the top 5. Nevertheless, nice table, thanks for the timely updates.

posted by worldcup2002 at 02:40 PM on September 22, 2003

Squealy, it aint as easy as that, the pricing system is very quirky, as is the scoring system. Players that would be brilliant in the other one are crap in Yahoo. Please don't ask me why, I don't know.

Be here Tuesday and I'll update the table in this very thread. That's 2 count em 2 tables for the price of one!!!

Thank you Mssrs. Crespo and Owen!

Prevaricators Utd manager quote: "We have been consistently inconsistent! One week we're up, another week we're down! Some housecleaning has been done, and we will look forward to a stronger performance in the coming week."

This reporter was "lucky" enough to ask the Blammos! skipper a question after the game... Biff Barff: "You dropped to second in the table...how would you rate your performance tonight?" Blammos! manager quote: Our team is shite...we played like shite, the fans were shite...the ref was shite...you're shite...

Esconced in the middle of the table, I would say my team is like the Fulham ... or Aston Villa of the fantasy league. Given our early free-spending in return for such mediocre results, I would say we are more like Villa. This would make me the David O'Leary of the fantasy league. Hah.

posted by worldcup2002 at 01:20 PM on September 23, 2003

btw, I'm now second in the MLS fantasy league. Playing with only ten men the last two months. Whoooooo!

As far as i'm concerned worldcup, you are in first.

WC, that laughter is starting to have a tinge of desperation to it, be careful.

:boogie: When asked of his teams excellent start to the season, Manager Mossy said the following: "Well, its been a good performance from the entire squad, half price and full price alike. The strikers have scored goals, goalkeepers have been consistent, the defenders have defended well and not got any points because this is yahoo after all and the midfield. Wait. Do we even have a midfield? Hmm.." I don't think anyone has scored more than 5 points there in the last 4 weeks, hehe.. Who'll be the first manager sacked on yahoo epl? I lay claim to the new, revitalised Tottenham of the league - say 5 weeks from now ;) Ok people, I'm being lulled into a false sense of security now. No, wait, I'm just sleepy.. Zzzz..

Things at work getting that bad? Well, the Liverpool match will be featured this Sunday on FSW if you want to drive down...

Liverpool UEFA Cup tie is live on terrestial tv here tonight. I'm watching it, as I could do with a laugh. :-P

posted by squealy at 07:30 AM on September 24, 2003

Terrestrial?

posted by StarFucker at 08:28 AM on September 24, 2003

Houllier is talking about Liverpool setting a record for the most EUFA cup wins, ever. It is that kind of talk that endears Liverpool to football fans the world over and induces tears of laughter when, inevitably, it all goes tits up.

posted by Fat Buddha at 11:14 AM on September 24, 2003

Hey, a record is a record, FB. Take the silverware when you have the opportunity and make sure you get into the CL next year.

posted by billsaysthis at 11:40 AM on September 24, 2003

Houllier does not represent me...

0-0 at half-time and Heskey's looking good. I kid.

posted by squealy at 02:27 PM on September 24, 2003

1-1...How embarrassing.

posted by StarFucker at 03:13 PM on September 24, 2003

Since when has Owen become the heading maestro? That guys giving shearer a run for his money.. Points to note - Angel is on fire, Keane scored one and set one up, Jardel scored 2! Mind you, Robinson scored one as well, lol

posted by Mossy at 08:11 AM on September 25, 2003

Still doesn't look in the best of condition though. Wow.

posted by Mossy at 08:12 AM on September 25, 2003

Lard-el... HA!! Good for Robinson! Now THATS a keeper! Pun intended...

Hey! Arsenal v Newcastle tomorrow (Friday). I'm guessing this will be in this week (6)'s score, and not next week? Poor lilnemo. ;-)

posted by worldcup2002 at 07:17 PM on September 25, 2003

Nope, I was wrong. The deadline (Oct 3, week 8, which means week 7's deadline is already closed today!) in the fantasy league site indicate that the game is included in the coming week's score.

posted by worldcup2002 at 07:23 PM on September 25, 2003

WC, not only is that game tomorrow, but FSW is doing the right thing and showing it live!!!

posted by billsaysthis at 08:51 PM on September 25, 2003

I KNOW!!! And then showing it again when i get home from work!! OH HAPPY DAY!!

posted by StarFucker at 09:32 PM on September 25, 2003

Oh crap. I forgot to switch out my only arsenal/newcastle player, given :( He's gonna get a pounding :ouch: Hmm. For the record I also have no manure players and only one chelski player in the guise of crespo. He has to go. Yesss, cleansing..

Why get rid of Crespo?

posted by StarFucker at 08:25 AM on September 26, 2003

Squad rotation I would imagine.

posted by squealy at 12:15 PM on September 26, 2003

I think Mossy is doing it on principle. Especially now that he's proven he can still kick our asses with half-price players.

posted by worldcup2002 at 01:40 PM on September 26, 2003

I feel I'm betraying my Tottenham roots :( Thats it, he's gone :-/
