GW26: Deadline 11:45 Saturday 13th February

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

in an attempt to stay chill about shit whilst still seeking seeking to correct errors and improve, it occurs to me that if -for example- i had made no changes before this GW i would have only been 4pts better off. if presented with the same choices and evidence as i had when i made those changes i would still do almost exactly the same thing, as one of those changes was necessary and unavoidable. bad weeks like this GW have cropped up every few weeks in between fair to middling results, with pretty much the same teams fielded for both good and poor. this in mind i'm just gonna ride it out. my teams fortunes seem inextricably linked to leicester's real world fortunes this season and i daresay their manager will see losing to "the arse" for what it was -a (cheating) referree-led glitch in the otherwise smooth-running scheme of things- and calmly move on. i shall follow his example. 8)

i didnt hear about it until after, but yes i was gutted too. especially when i heard it was the 95th minute! WTF??? 5 minutes??? that result has made it that bit harder for city unfortunately; the sort of result that decides these matters if it goes down to the wire.

well i'm a liverpool fan, have been since i could express a preference, and if they were serious contenders in the title race i'd want them to win it regardless. however it's local pride rather than lifelong affiliation that makes me want leicester to do it. that and the love of the underdog because A) who the f**k were LCFC this time last year? i wish i'd put a bet on then.....and B) although i can remember city winning the odd play-off final theyve never been so near to proper success EVER. even when theyve been top-flight theyve always hugged the bottom. it really would stick ttwo fingers up at all the "big boys".

And other game week draws to a close.

In the classic league it ended:

IGM 433 v EIB 461
+28 to EIB
Overall IGM +212

Image goes to Meteora Heartland FC.

Image is for Nobby Nobbs XI for a score of 60 points. His use of his bench boost was enough to deprive the bottom team Faith Rovers of the BSO.

H2H

EIB's total domination continues:
EIB 18 v IGM 14
Overall EIB +44.

Complimenting his yellow jersey the Image rests on the head of Meteora Heartland.

Week off now for us fantasy footballers as the weekend is given over to the FA Cup 5th round.

See you on the other side. :D

We won! ;D

Bit of a nail-biter yesterday.
The scores were all level at close of play Saturday, so Sunday was quite tense.
Fingers crossed no injury dramas come from the cup games. Or the champs league for that matter.
Well played everyone :notworthy: :notworthy:
Cheers.
