Week 7 update for the Spofi EPL fantasy footie.: The fourth different overall leader in the past five weeks is certainly a familiar manager to take that spot...

OK, a new addition. The rising and falling trends. Red means going up, blue means falling down, white means no change. Look at me - up up up up!

That wasn't as bad as it could have been. Hey, WC2K2, I found this from 1964 on The Guardian website. Nostalgic, but still sends shivers down your spine.

Replacing Owen with Adebayor was an inspired decision, especially as Owen did sod all and then was subbed due to groin knack.

79 pts despite subbing in for Arteta and ranking N'Zogbia behind Ingimarson....I'll take it, but 91 pts would've been the turnaround I've been waiting for. Watch out bitches! Here comes PFC. the above is courtesy of wc2k2's request for less self-deprecating commentary.

owlhouse: Good lord, man. She loves me, yeah yeah yeah? Wow. Of course, a perfectly apt song for the two best Liverpool contributions to the world: The Beatles and LFC. (Naff off, Everton!) gspm: You are rocking, my man! I predict a return to the top in no time. garfield: Right on, right on. That's the cheek I'm talkin' about. As a wise man once said, "Don't be so humble. You're not that great." As for me: Didn't quite make it into the top 10 this week. But definitely in the top 10 in week 8! You heard it here first! Gotta stop that rollercoaster ride and just head on the up escalator like gspm!

Imagine this post is full of four letter words and statements regarding the testicles (and lack thereof) of the members of my team. For good measure, throw in some insults towards their mothers.

18 freaking points, that sure is blue. And ugly, but I do not blame myself. I love myself so it must be your fault, you know who you are. F* you, try it again and I'll put my steel tip boots right up yer middle.

Sorry guys, can't seem to join in. Brian Clough was too long ago, and now it's all gone Billy Davies.

Started the season with a Leeds-like 36 point deduction for shady transfer deals. At one point I was even trailing the woeful Liver Spots. Now at mid-table, jumping 9 places this week alone! EUFA qualification here I come.

Dear Rafa, Please put Torres in the first team this weekend. Please.
