Jo's asked me to get the ball rolling this week while she bungs a hoover round her gaff ahead of some visitors dropping in
I posted a GW13 summary here so I'll not repeat myself & send you all to sleep

BUT!!
& This is a big BUT!!!
Yes, the GW starts this evening thanks to PL schedulers &, no doubt, television companies.
Expect tired legs, squad rotations &, of course, Everton to lose again.

Let's play

Oo heck I hadn't spotted that there were midweek games! Ta.

Oh man. Yawnited are so boring.
I see Vardy got his eye in early tonight

Edit. Take that back. At least till the 2nd half when they effortlessly fall back into 8-2-0 formation

Well someone doesn't rate Sissoko

ffs...missed last week due to illness and this week due to erm... missing it. apologies to IGM all round.

Coutinho & Salad start on the bench
I almost traded out Coutinho for Mané for this one

Wood scores for Burnley.
A legitimate reason to say I have Wood.

oh dear...
it's not just a hoover. mops are involved. e cloths. and a lot of washing. off on Darkness tour for the next two weekends and no time off work in between, so completely unready for anything.

Anyone pick Rooney this week?
Asking for a friend ....

Satan Orient had him on the bench His 4 subs accrued 37 points - and not one of his first 11 didn't play

D'oh!

EMWK - there's no better excuse for missing something than that, missed it cos I missed it no worries, I may as well have missed the weekend's too, chances are you still got more points than me.

Another so-so GW for my lot, think it's high time I 'welcomed' sterling and salah into the Toluca Lake bootroom, which if nothing else should put a pretty immediate stop to their heroics in the real world. I wouldn't recommend to either of them to get in any taxis in Amsterdam between now and next kick-off.

don't you dare jinx my players!

Blimey Boss you sound like my mum, 'ooooh I can't be watching Yoonitid, I'll jinx 'em' she says, every weekend and most midweeks. Awww. Well Boss, I've just jinxed the scouse muppet, soz. Jinxing the city muppet woud perhaps have made more sense in terms of real-world affects but nah, if he aint banging them in then someone else will be, whereas lpool seem to be rather reliant on salah's golden spell right now. At least this week I get to cheer when I see how many he's scored, or nod sagely when he limps off with a fooked hamstring after 5.

As Jo's still making mini sausage rolls & one of those pineapple & cheese hedgehog things for her visitors, she's asked that I post the summary. So here it comes.....
Bitter rivals, Brighton & Palace scrapped for 90 minutes only to walk away with a point each.
Leicester all but ended Spurs title challenge with a convincing home win that takes them into the top half of the table while West Brom threw away a 2 goal lead at home. But don’t fret Baggies fans. Pards will sort out Pulis’ mess. Again.
In-form Watford almost staged a dramatic comeback against Manc Untidy until Lingard sewed the match up in the 86th minute with a brilliant solo effort.
Onto Wednesday Everton’s incoming new manager was in the stands at Goodison Park as the Toffees took on the mighty Wet Spam. Enter Wayne Rooney who actually hit the target. 3 times!
Man Citeh stayed on course to be invincibles with Sterling grabbing a 96th minute winner & Mo Salad became a super sub, adding 2 on top of Mané\s opener to shunt the reds up to 5th.
At Chelski, Conte was sent off for dissing the ref over an incorrect decision ( he was right by the way). But the blues prevailed & hold form in 3rd.
Bournemouth were practically a no-show as Burnley won to go 6th in the table & Arsenal, after taking the lead on 3 minutes courtesy of Lacazette went on to hammer the Terriers 5-0.
Did I forget anything? Don’t think so

Righto, the FPL this GW saw a shock win by the EIB with 513 points . Could this be the turning of a corner? The BB&S remain in top spot on 7550.
The

Stays with Nikolas Vitus Lagartija’s Damage Dunfermline
While the

Goes to Met-a-morphosis with 63 points
The table goes something like this


The BB&S had a thundering win in the H2h with 24 points opening a 5 point lead up overall.
Looks like I need to post the

this week to AFC Tigers, who top the table
& speaking of tables


Well played everyone & see you all over at the Stadium of Faith for GW15

cheers, my lovely.
