people losing points left and right for cards eh

guess the boys forgot to teach gervinho something about joey barton....either that or it was diaby who did the lesson

anyway odemwingie better score, im having a bad week points wise

vermaelen was good of course, only guy i trust in the back other than sagna, but koscielny was also surprisingly good. didnt see this partnership much last season so hopefully this year they can get some chemistry going and banish the nightmare titled sebastien squillaci
 
Is anybody else having problems with the Fantasy site? I can't log in, and when I try to retrieve my password it says email not found... I logged in fine earlier today.
 
mexico beats host colombia in the u-20 world cup and advances to semis

gonna face spain/brazil, tough game but im sure they can win

fuck if mexico wins the u20 the same year they won the u17 ill go ahead and say we have the best youth work in the world
 
I'm proud to say that this young ones are gonna make mexico's name is soccer even bigger. I see more mexicans in europe in the future as well.
 
Finally, Real Madrid vs Barcelona tonight. Can´t wait for this game.

It seems Sergio Ramos finally is playing despite having back problems. And Piqué is playing too. In other hand Puyol is still injured and won´t play.
 
i've also still got a fair few potential big scorers that are playing today and tomorrow, so i need them to score big cos my saturday guys didnt do so well

im not having problems with fantasy myself

drogba benched and torres starting, meanwhile villas boas comes out and says drogba and chelsea cant agree on a new contract. guess some calls are gonna come in
 
0-0 at half time seems about right so far for Stoke and Chelsea. Might have been handball from Terry, but it was hard to say. And Torres looks a lot better then he was. Until he duffed a shot after skipping past 2.
 
my week is pretty fucked as long as Dzeko doesn't score like three times (and I'm not even sure if he's set)
 
Great work De Gea

That's what happens when you buy an overated keeper based on media hype as opposed to actually scouting a player.

Steklenburg would have cost them 6m and is better.
 
he made 2 good saves..... but not the easy one.
man united have turned into arsenal... keeper is iffy and trying to pass the ball into the net. gotta play better, that was aweful from 10 minutes in
terry is famous for his handballs you know ;)

heh somebody noticed it.....

the passing has turned pretty intricate from united, they're starting a 21 year old in goal and even welbeck and cleverley got starts, and there was some time in the first half when they didn't look so cool in the air back there.

dammit, long/de gea + vidic going off at ht pretty much ruined my fantasy week.....unless kompany scores a hat trick tomorrow and keeps a clean sheet
 
was rather poor.
hope ferdinand and vidic arn't out for the next few games.
at least we have 2 points over chelsea arsenal and liverpoo now, hope swansea take some off city now

those two saves were ''decent''. Sharner's shot was straight at him, so it
had to be saved while the second was standard. any keeper in the PL would've save these, sorry. the west brom goal was just shocking, horrible reflexes.
The way he was easily bundled off the ball in the air is very worrying. stoke 12 - 0 man utd.

Nice to see that nothing's changed from last season in terms of luck. Young's shot deflected off 2 west brom players before going in as an own goal... just lol.

october 15, when man utd face liverpool. I expect a massacre. Dalglish will probably go for a 4-4-2 with Carroll and Suarez up-front. With Phil Jones' questionable positional sense (he will be venturing forward a lot), the other CB will be up against Suarez and Carroll alone. From set-pieces, Adam's delivery will be deadly with Carroll (and Agger) in the box. De Gea conceded the most shots from long distance last season in La Liga so it must be a concern when Liverpool have Carroll, Adam, Agger, Suarez and especially Gerrard who are terrific at long range shots. cant wait.

Great work De Gea

agreed
 
well like my real life friend likes to put it: the god of fluke is certainly with united today.

well, liverpool and united get to do a little massacre practice next week. arsenal sans gervinho and likely no cesc and nasri also. i think im gonna hide under my bed until the bombardment is over. I pray the good arshavin will turn up, although he has been reported missing for some time now.

oh and ferdinand out for 6 weeks, vidic having checks. rafael 10 weeks also. anymore and this is gonna turn in to a crisis soon.
 
Real Madrid: Casillas; Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Marcelo; Xabi, Khedira; Di María, Özil, Cristiano; y Benzema.
Barcelona: Valdés; Alves, Mascherano, Abidal, Adriano; Keita, Thiago, Iniesta; Messi, Villa y Alexis.
 
Can't wait to see De Gea deal with Stoke in September. Rio's apparently out for 6 weeks with a hamstring problem... so time for Jones to step up. Still glad you sold Wes Brown???????
 
yeah i was surprised fergie sold both o'shea and brown, now fergie is left with smalling, evans, and jones. inexperience ahoy. they have to hope vidic's injury isnt serious. still, once evra comes back, fabio can return to right back and smalling back to center back to get more cover.
