GW35 - deadline Saturday 29th April 2pm

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.

Should have put this here yesterday but the inlaws arrived a day early.
Fill in your own witty bits. I'll be out with them and my best behaviour trying not to lose either of them.
We've already 'agreed' not to talk politics

North London Derby next. COYS!
Last one at the Lane.
And a big one for the title race. I've got two players in this as well.

Very. Rashford should have got a card for simulation TBH. He was on the floor before Fabianski got near him & Fabianski even pulled his arms out of the challenge.

still only 4 points behind Chelsea. keeping the title within reach and 3 GW to go was for me slightly more important than stuffing Arsenal. that was nice, but there's a bigger picture...

if we don't do it, i'll still be proud of my boys! Catching Chelsea was always going to be waiting for them to slip up, tbh

Yep. But "oh great" doesn't invoke the asterisk fairy at least.

Not a lot of goals this week, but some quality strikes amongst those that did find the net.
Not happy with the new level of diving that's going on. :twisted:

A heartfelt 'we're with you' for Aaron Lennon and his family. It's a long journey from where he is now, and a slow one, so best wishes for a smoother upward journey than a down.


This GW started with a rather dull Saturday and few goals - first time that MOTD has started with a 0-0. The goal that really counted was King's for Bounemouth, sending Sunderland down as the first Premiership casualty this year. The others are still all to play for. I suppose Tadic's missed penalty livened things up.
Sunday was a little more exciting. Swansea, bless 'em, contained MU to a 1-1 draw to help them and embarrass JoMouth. If he doesn't stop humiliating his players in public he's going to get several mouthfuls back. Everton got stuffed by Chelksi, sadly, but Cahill scored so I mustn't grumble too much in FPL terms. In RL, he should have stayed at home :D The other Mancs only managed a draw too, which is not good enough against Middlesborough for them. Spurs of course did a smashing job and kept the Strange sofa inhabitants awake after a day of being OUTSIDE.
Watford/Liverpool, though, provided the best moments with Can's brilliant goal, so good that i watched it on tv then went to the ipad, cos there's a delay of a couple of minutes. You can watch live stuff twice! The build up alone was worth a second look - good to see Lallana back and on sparkling form.
Just had a look at the yellow cards - only the Palace and Southampton games had less than four bookings, with Middlesbrough/Man C clocking up 8. Decided I didn't care much for Monreal.

Let me see... here's the table, showing a close score this week but still no win for IGM. Large range of individual scores too - not a predictable week at all!

The Yellow Jersey remains with Damage Dunfermline along with the Crown:

The Big Shout Out for 80 points goes to The Roker Roar - a bittersweet week?

GW36 will be over at the Shed soon. It starts tomorrow - be warned!
