The notables TX Devils has his best week yet and tops the week scores for the first time. Spofield Town posted his worst week yet. But hey, he hasn't made any transfers. Ball Booters (11) and Range Park Queens (17) have reached their highest overall positions so far. My Hair Is So Bangin (19), Arrowwood United (27) and Sauril's WideBoys (32) have landed in their worst overal positions so far.

I am still not kicking ass It's you, me, yerfatma, Tex and chico in a private battle for mid table mediocrity. May the most average man win!

I see you trying to steal a run on me, owlhouse. Sneaky!
posted by worldcup2002 at 12:08 AM on February 23, 2007
I should make less transfers. But then again my players could help me by not getting fecking injured every week. This week's celebrity cripple - Chris bloody Kirkland. This season has been nightmarish.

May the most average man win! I thought we agreed, 0-0, our motto was "May the most average person neither win nor lose." Your exclamation point is unsettling and over the top.

I've been away from all my fantasy stuff for the last month, and it's really showing. Fucking need to make a living.
posted by chicobangs at 10:12 AM on February 23, 2007
Yeah, Chico. I remember when we used to hang out together on the corner of tenth and ninth all the time. But now... now... you like those average boys!
posted by Mr Bismarck at 10:48 AM on February 23, 2007
We're non-threatening. Unless you find that unsettling.
posted by yerfatma at 11:38 AM on February 23, 2007
I'm totally mailing it in this week. Has anyone ever been worst one week and best the next? It's my new goal.
posted by YukonGold at 12:27 PM on February 23, 2007
I have complete confidence you'll get at least halfway there.
posted by yerfatma at 01:41 PM on February 23, 2007
You know there's a real battle for averageness when you're number 2 in the form table but only move up 5 spots. I'm just happy to be out of the bottom half. Now if I can keep half my bottom from dropping I should be fine.

yerfatma, you're cracking me up. Unfortunately, that messes up the curve for the rest of us.

Hard to keep track when this cup tie and that european game etc are going. no excuses though, i suck. i think next year we should have a league two for the bottom dwellers such as myself. sinking like a stone

Did anyone happen to see Beckham's performance v Bayern Munich on Tuesday? I've never really cared for Beckham, but my god, that boy played his socks off against Munich, setting up all 3 goals. I've never seen him play that well....not even close.

He's working his way up to the MLS.

He's working his way up to the MLS. Oh, snap.

After a grand total of 5 points from Saturday's games, I am now out of contention even for mid table mediocity. Teach me for using that damn exclamation mark.

yerfatma: Oh, I thought I was supposed to balance your comments out. Insert emoticon here OK, the balance has been restored.
posted by worldcup2002 at 04:26 PM on February 24, 2007
What do we do after you're in my rear-view next week? Do I still need to balance things?
posted by yerfatma at 06:01 PM on February 24, 2007
You better thank me in your acceptance speech.

You'd best enjoy it for that one week. That's all you're gonna get.

OK, in gameweek 28 the player I brought in to replace an injured player got injured before the bloody match even started. I give up.

Beware the touch of squealy.

squealy, you are now officially required to post your team in the locker room by 2400 GMT each Friday. The rest of us need to know who the hell not to buy.

I was thinking of bringing in Henry. Seeing as he's already carrying a niggling foot injury he should suit my team perfectly.
posted by squealy at 04:43 PM on February 26, 2007
Thanks for the pointer re: Henry. Of course, it doesn't really matter because I can't afford him. Thank you, expensive Frenchman!
