Rather than drum up a new summary at short notice, here's a copy of what I posted for last GW
Let’s start with OGS’ trip to the sea side shall we?
Having finally strung 3 wins in a row, Untidy, with Martial back in the fold, looked to be in a good place for a 4th. Josh King had other ideas, puling of an insane piece of skill to grab the winner in the first half.
Arsenal, without Xhaka who threw a wobbly at fans last week, decided to maintain consistency as they gave up yet another lead to secure a solitary point against Wolves & the south coast scum continued their fish & chip stealing antics, taking a 2-0 win at home to Norwich.
At Villa park, Liverpool were stunned by an early Villa goal. Thousands of reds fans who were rejoicing in Citeh having gone behind 7 minutes earlier were suddenly silenced. In the 70th minute, lips started quivering as Citeh drew level with The Saints. Liverpool thought they had pulled one back, but VAR adjudged Firmino's armpit to be offside. The 86th minute came & the Kop faithful were now weeping into their phones as Citeh went ahead, closing the gap to just 3 points.
But wait! A world class cross from Mané a minute later was pounced on by Robbo for a proper equaliser. Could they?….Yes the jolly well could.And a 95th minute corner was deftly glanced past the Villa keeper to keep Citeh at arm’s length 6 points adrift.
Over at Bramall lane, The Blades’ overlapping centre backs continue to confuse tot opposition & Lundstrom continues to shine, netting a brace in Sheffield UTD’s 3-0 demolition of Burnley
Newcastle, 3 up away to Wet Spam almost handed the hosts a lifeline, but time ran out for the Spammers who could only pull 2 back.
Watford, still on the hunt for that elusive win, went behind in just 5 minutes to Chelski. The transfer-banned blues doubled their lead thanks to their new £58m signing Pulisic but the Hornets, aided by Mike Dean who was in the VAR room practising handing out cards & taking selfies were awarded a vey soft penalty. The score could have been a lot worse but for Foster making 8 crucial saves. He even almost headed a last second leveller which means he’s had more shots on target this season than Jesse Lingard.
Sunday came & Palace limited Leicester to just the 2 dammits that moved the Foxes into 3rd place.
Winding it up for the week, Spurs dropped into Goodison Park to take on Everton.
More shocking that they took the lead was the fact Dele Alli actually scored the goal. This was almost undone a few minutes later as he appeared to handle the ball in the Everton box. But VAR decided Alli’s arm was in a completely natural position.
But the game took a very dark turn as Son brought down Gomes who landed awkwardly resulting in a dislocated fracture of the ankle. Son, clearly distraught once he saw Gomes’ foot pointing in the wrong direction (!!Caution. Graphic!!) was handed a red card for endangering an opponent.
After a lengthy stoppage, Cenk Tosun headed a 97th minute equaliser to keep Everton out of the drop zone.
Back in the land of FPL, it was the IGM who took the week with 666 points (exactly the same score as the previous week) as they extend their overall lead.
The
Stays with schmed’s The Clash Athletic
As for the
Finally, I get the chance to troll Bad Sasquatch down the pub this week with my 77 points
The all important table
In the H2H the BB&S show signs of the turnaround, taking the week with 24 points to reclaim the overall lead.
& the
for the week belongs, once again, to Nikolas Vitus Lagartija’s Damage Dunfirmline.
& the table
As many of you know, we are not allowed to have bonfires etc at the shed since the incident with the neighbours’ fence a couple of years back. So fireworks night was a little disappointing to say the least.
But we still had fun… until the police arrived to confiscate our matches.
Ho hum. Onwards to the next GW then which begins Friday with Sunday seeing…gasp…Liverpool play Citeh which will create some mild panic in team selections I’m sure.
Anyway, don't forget the GW starts this evening, so get a wriggle on everyone
