GW23 - Deadline 18.45GMT Tuesday 31st January

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.

As our Ems is a bit crook, she's asked if I can get the ball rolling this week.
Full results from last week are here

So, what will this week bring?
Arsenal won't be distracted by Wenger fighting with his coat for a couple more games.
Jurgen's smile is beginning to crack & Conte's is beginning to get annoying.
Does Pep wish he had need for a hair dryer & have the Swans discovered how to float once more?

Roll up roll up. It's time for GW23

Let's get ready to....oooh kittens........
Cheers.

They should be independent of each other as far as I read in the help page.

My week was also less than stellar.
Cech conceding 2 & seething when I see Scott Dann on the bench seemingly grinning at me & flipping the bird with 15 while Aguero hit the dizzy heights of........1 :?
& as for my other forward, Klopp's insistence of starting games without a dedicated striker is proper screwing my points up.
Might have a lot of cash to spend this weekend.
Cheers.

Here are the points for GW23... As this has been a sombre week, I will just post these. briefly. Nikolas is still winning both leagues, and The killjoys clain the Big Shout Out with 63 points.
All our thoughts with GOD/mort/Nat, however you know him. Better news is coming out, and I know we all want to wish him a full recovery.
GW24 open, as always, over in the Shed.

The tables are:
