EPL Fantasy League Week 14 ends November with a new month winner: worldcup 2002's Charlton Emulators top a four-team dogpile in that table separated by six points, and lurk within a biscuit of third overall. And to think he was about to F off. In other news, it's clear by now that our collective score waxes and wanes with the performance of Thierry Henry -- not that Ufez is complaining, as he parlayed utter stud goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar's stoning of same et al. (along with Lampard's penalty, Izzet's free kicks, and Shearer's being Shearer) to a week-winning 66 for his fascist bully boys. I failed to break 700, but there's a fresh, five-week month approaching... (more inside)

Sort of a bad time to buy Bolton defenders, in other words. The remaining first half schedule is very friendly to United, and Liverpool have to like their odds for continuing their run. Discussion of the Yahoo EPL league is welcome in this topic, and anyone who wants to try to cut and paste source for its table can go ahead.

Time for my captain, Mr. Ruud, to revv up his scoring, he's been a slacking wanker lately! And screw Thierry and all of you have him.

You have outdone yourself, taupe. Excellent stuff. I look forward to going head-to-head with you in about two weeks. My team is warming up nicely to the challenge.

Ooh, week winner! That's a first. I'm already moving up and cracking the top 20. I think I'll set an end of season goal of top ten now. My team's on a mean streak, I tells ya.

Second place is first loser :-(

HEY! Thats me!

posted by StarFucker at 01:01 PM on December 01, 2003

HEY! I moved up to 7th in the Yahoo League! High score for the week...man, if i knew how to make a table you could all see it!

posted by StarFucker at 01:12 PM on December 01, 2003

Well, you could also see it by just going to the Yahoo page... Anyway...

posted by StarFucker at 01:13 PM on December 01, 2003

Hey how do you post a table without a huge amount of space automatically added before the table?

posted by worldcup2002 at 01:24 PM on December 01, 2003

Seriously, i tried that too and that kept happening to me...

posted by StarFucker at 01:25 PM on December 01, 2003

All the line breeaks are added automatically so even though it looks really ugly in the text box, you have to make the table look like one long line.

I had some free time and was using some dreamweavery to post the yahoo table, but I got this YUUUUUUUGE space above my table. The Pantheon would have kicked me off the SpoFi for posting that. Well, at least now I know how to mess with other people's pages. Hahahaha.

posted by worldcup2002 at 01:48 PM on December 01, 2003

Ah, tah, bill. I will try that.

posted by worldcup2002 at 01:49 PM on December 01, 2003

And hey, I'm back up to 5th in Yahoo! even though three of my guys sat. Fecking Wenger, why didn't you play Parlour?

posted by billsaysthis at 01:50 PM on December 01, 2003

Hey! I figured out the damn table thing. I will post the yahoo league update next. I will also post instructions, so someone else can do it (hopefully better than I). This is probably my first and last time. Also, the donkeys at yahoo have updated for the Nov30 games but _not_ the Nov29 games. Wha? Huh?

posted by worldcup2002 at 02:03 PM on December 01, 2003

nice....I've been wondering if there is a table maker out there or something....

posted by garfield at 02:08 PM on December 01, 2003

Yes. His name is taupe.

I think I see a trend here: Overall Rank by week You, too, can engage in this graphological tomfoolery by clicking on the View Graph link below our league table.
