(The boys'll be a bit tired and we have worry about Super Franks tendon, so it's just 3 goals, not 8...)
Straight in there Bio :)
ReplyDeleteI think Villa will improve this season, so I can't see them losing by 8 to anyone (famous last words).
Actually missed the news that Frankie boy had signed a new contract but as he hadn't gone yet I guessed he had :)
It's going to be an interesting season, really have no idea who'll win the league?
Yeah, Frankie signed on for another year back in May.
DeleteI'm not terribly up on the rest of the EPL transfers and signings (mostly from being on the wrong side of the Atlantic), but I don't have any dead certs for top 5 teams. Change is in the air!
Heck, even my Everton-supporting father is going to be following more Man U matches with his boy Moyes in charge there...

No probs Longy :)
ReplyDeleteGot the regular 5 but would be good to have some more .. but that's probably down to me not posting stuff on a regular basis and attracting new readers?
Trouble is real life keeps getting in the way :)
Will post my scores later, but I've got to balance real life with picking 20 world beating fantasy teams while taking care of 20 fantasy cricket teams!! gutted yesterday as one click would have won me a £100 for manager of the week, I was waiting for the teams to be announced before changing my captain, but real life got in the way and I missed the team announcements so didn't make the change :(
Loads of goals!! (or maybe not) :)

Yeah unlikely I know but I can't stand Bruce so here's hoping :)
ReplyDeleteDay 1 Scores -
Some late brilliance from Gobby fires him in front.
Gobshyte 7, Biopunk 5, Lee 3, Longy 3, Paulo 3
Day 2 and still tight, I thought Chelsea might hammer Bruce's lot but Maureen decided to stick with Torres? so only a couple of goals. Tottenham scraped a win with Twattenburg making the headlines.
ReplyDeleteDay 2 Scores
Gobshyte 9, Biopunk 7, Paulo 6, Lee 5, Longy 4
Nothing changes then lol
ReplyDeleteLongy
Was thinking West Ham should change their name as the tables are showing Chelsea above us? AFC West Ham?
ReplyDeleteMan City looking really good against the french side.
ReplyDeleteDay 3 Scores

ReplyDeleteCheers
Paulo
Well that's it for week 1, Chelsea get their usual collection of dodgy refereeing decisions with John Terry's invisible hands again and Ivanovic making sure Benteke didn't bite him by knocking his teeth out ... only joking you Chelsea boys :)
ReplyDeleteFinal Scores
Gobshyte 11, Biopunk 9, Paulo 8, Lee 7, Longy 6
