Heartland

Let's see, where are we with things? Thanks to the lovely Pista and Basil for last week's gathering of the clans.
Many things afoot - Aguero and Kompany out of City? Pep says not - or does he mean not yet? They have some work to do on Sunday v the Saints to get over their thumping the other night, but Saints will want to bounce back too. Will Aguero even play?
Spurs have Alderweireld out and Rose a possible doubt too. Carzola and Xhaka out for the Gunners, Leicester Vardy and Morgan are 50% iffy and Smalling is also a notsure for Man U. Luke Shaw might play, though, and I'm quite glad to see him back after his long layoff.

So, IGM are in the lead in both the Classic and the H2H but not by very much. There are some interesting fixtures this week which might throw up a few surprises. Chelsea V Man U could go either way - the only guarantee is that Jose will lap up all the hype and attention.

Bournemouth v Spurs is first KO at 12.30 tomorrow. Boots at the ready.

Current leaderboards:

Yay!
I was starting to worry.
Pitiful point haul for me last week. I dropped in all my leagues after holding a lofty 400th place in Hungary.
Might have to flip a coin for my skipper this week.

There are 400 people in Hungary?!

Just about.

if you count Basil, yes.
had dilemmas with mine, too. let's see if this week restores any chance of the expected happening.

One blessing tomorrow is that given Sunderland are at West Ham, they won't have that horrific Cheshire Cat outfit on

aaghhhh.

I'm looking to sign "Complacency", Wenger said he's dangerous. Can't find him in any squad.

can't you sign Success instead?

Nah, I've had too much of that already - it makes me arrogant. So I'm sticking to abysmal, I signed half the Tottenham squad.

i signed one of yours by accident.

I do hope it was Giroud

heavens, no

There's still time, go on!

lol, lose points signing him?

Well yes!!

You will rise. You always find a way

Is Giroud still playing?
I think he does need a run out. He's not done yet

Giroud is back in training, Ramsey also. Giroud had a poorly toe!! Ramsey had the usual Arsenal injury, hamstrung.

I think Wenger is saving them for our annual meltdown, not bad having Ramsey and Giroud ready to step in when/if things go wrong.

i honestly couldn't give a fuck Bro. someone has to be at the bottom, IGM will steam it anyway, theres been too much nastiness over what is after all just a fucking game....niot even the game -football- but a very dull not even as good as "fifa-manager 3" side game, and the m*****n team can f**k off -by which i mean theres no interaction and the original spirit has gone.

semper eadem.....NOT>

but i'm fine thanks. you never know where and when your next little bit of happiness is gonna pop up.
