Spofi EPL fantasy footie: 35th best last week. On top this week. A 63 point swing. That has to be a record of some sort.

We've had a swing from 33rd to 1st before (This is Anfield in week 11, Ball Booters in week 25) but you gotta hand it to the 00100011 00110001's for putting it together this week. 00100011 00110001's finished in first for the first time, in the top 3 for the first time and in the top 10 for the 5th time. After setting a personal worst last week (17 points) he sets his personal best this week (beating a 62 in week 10) and posts the 6th best week score in the pool yet. Crap City United finished in the top 3 for the 6th time (in that regard tied with Salmacis FC and trailing The Clitorati's 7 times and Phatcat FC's 9 times). 17th top 10 finish (ahead of the 15 times achieved by Phatcat, Ardley Athletic and BillSaysThisScores!!). And sets a week personal best, topping his 73 pts in week 17. Ardley Athletic lands in the top 3 for the 5th time and finds himself back in the top 3 (Salmacis results retroactively applied to the beginning of the season) for the first time since week 14. He slid to 8th in week 20 but has been inching upwards since then.

Texan and I are going at it hammer and tongs mid-table (which got my wife and I banned from the in-laws). As always, thanks for making this even more fun, gspm.

Softly, softly, catchee monkey. Actually I'm never going to catchee gspm unless I pull my socks up and start making some inspired captaincy choices. Cheers for the update.

Hear that? That's the sound of a million people all selling an injured Thierry Henry at the same time.

Inspiration was clearly missing as I named Lampard as skipper and left Distin on the bench. It's been one of those seasons.
