Recent Form
posted by gspm at 11:32 AM on December 15, 2006
The form is slowly improving. I can make it to the top half, I know it. Had the Essien/Drogba coinflip gone the other way I'd have been even better. This is the big week I've been waiting for. I can feel it.

Just when I had that damn yerfatma right where I wanted him, he's not there anymore. Cagey fucker.

Maybe I should have employed my non-Henry strategy before (admittedly, I was forced to drop him).
posted by trox at 03:03 PM on December 15, 2006
Guess you guys didn't get the memo about sprinting ahead just when I started to drop 50s and 60s. Wait up, or poor TBH is gonna get gassed. Read that as you will.

I have to say I'm disappointed that I chose Makele over Campo for the fourth midfielder because of the two games and it cost me three points. Though I fixed that by tranferring Makelele out for Speed. We shall see. I really would like to join trox and gspm in the top spot flipfloppery.

And for you 'pool fans, your hero is a whinging little wuss.

Yeah, I thought I had a good week until I looked at the rest of the table. And then I went straight from work to a christmas party last night and didn't make the lineup changes I wanted to last night. Come on, providence.

I had a crap week. Back to business as usual.

They sat John Terry. They. Sat. John. Fucking. Terry. If I didn't hate Chelsea already, this would have done it. Up yours, Jose. At least Man U got blanked today. That's something.

Yeah, good on you, Hammers. Congrats to Curbishley.

Yeah, real swell. Chrissy and Wayner both shit the bed as Lampard notches 9.

This is shaping up to be quite the battle at the top of the table.

somehow you and Bill are in the mix given the considerably higher value of both my team and Ardley's. Value ain't everything. But since the beginning of the season, starting at 100, Ardley is up 5.8, I am up 5.5. You are up 2.4, Bill is up 1.8. The margin in the team value really does not reflect the scores on the table. So whatever you and Bill are doing is serving you well. In other analysis, Week 17 was the best week yet for Ball Booters, vagabonds, TX Devils, The Red Mist, EnFuego, Crap City United, Phatcat FC, PunksInTheBeerlight, Upper V, Bitches!, Sauril's WideBoys, Salmonbellies, ATL Untitled, Th'All Black (Hand)s, Zizou Headbutters Highest weekly placing yet was achieved by The Red Mist (1) and vagabonds (8). Spofield Town at 35th, has never been lower. The Magyars, Cutters IV and FC Hammer have all slipped to their worst placing overall.
