GW20 - Deadline Saturday 28th December 11.30 am

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.

Hello! Have you merried well and often? Better than Foxes of all description.

I'm just getting this in now as GW19 finishes tonight and the new one starts tomorrow. Hopefully normal service will reappear one day.

The fixtures and fittings are:

Saturday 28 December 2019

Brighton 12:30 Bournemouth Neither of these are doing well lately, so it'll probably be the best game of the day. Seagulls vs... more seagulls.
Newcastle 15:00 Everton You'd like to think Newcastle would make a comeback and Everton show off for their new manager.
Southampton 15:00 Crystal Palace Palace should win this one, right, Steve?
Watford 15:00 Aston Villa Will end up in a fight
Norwich 17:30 Spurs Who knows? Am hoping Norwich don't get too thumped
West Ham 17:30 Leicester West Ham will on the end of a backlash.
Burnley 19:45 Man Utd Utd are on a roll, and Pogba is back.

Sunday 29 December 2019

Arsenal 14:00 Chelsea I predict shenanigans. Neither will be happy with recent events.
Liverpool 16:30 Wolves The steamroller continues.
Man City 18:00 Sheffield Utd An upset? Sheffield have played beyond expectations so far.

Check your injuries and suspensions as their are a few. Alexander-Arnold (why have you not got him already?), Grealish, Martial, Ings and Alli are top 5 transfers in, whilst Abraham, Son, Mount, Pusilic and Robertson most popular to boot out. I'm off to have a look at mine.

You only have 24 hours to save your team. VAR!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAA! SAVIOUR OF THE... (insert something here. Or up VAR.)

Yes me. I fail to see what's funny about that.



:P (seeing as there's no emoji sticking the rods up :lol: )

Could be worse, I was very pleased with Alexander-Arnold's work the other day, only to discover upon checking my haul that I'd apparently already long since sold him. Oopsies.

Apparently his missus (Colleen Rooney's nemesis) has just given birth which is why he's not playing.

Aww your team should get bonus points if a player is missing cos he's at his new nipper's birth. Sort it FPL!

when Spurs (lifelong team) play Norwich (team of my home for 30 years) and i'm very angry that Norwich didn't win.
VAR usage has to change, or there will be trouble at some point.

VAR won this week. All other results are null and void. :evil: This crap will lead to relegations and manager sackings. We see those every season, but never have they been subject to men in front of a screen, miles away from the action. Disillusioned fans won't be bothering to celebrate, they won't pay to go to matches where they aren't privy to any information, they will vote with their feet and wallets. Refs won't want to take control of games where they have no autonomy and they're not allowed to see video evidence. It's past the point of picky and annoying now. Use it properly, or lose it. Clear and Obvious.

Well, some games were won and lost. Norwich drew against Spurs but should have won. Wolves were robbed of a goal. Leicester, without most of the team (only Vardy had a birth as an excuse!) shoved Pellegrini off his perch to let Moyes back in. De Bruyne and Aguero showed off, Pogba started to get his shooting eye back in when Martial let him, and Abraham scored despite being transferred out by eleventy billion people.

So, we end the year and the decade with Liverpool 13 points ahead of Leicester. Keep going, lads!

IGM are storming it still, yaaay! The tables are below - Mav hasn't checked them completely yet but the GWs wait for no one and he can tell us off later. :D

The Big Shout Out goes to Master Chen Elf with 91

Well played IGM.
Bit of a slaughter by all accounts :eek:

Getting the fizzy pop cooled for this evening in the shed.
You're all welcome. Unless you insist on lobbing fireworks around. You know we have a ban since the hedge incident :oops:
Cheers.
