Terrible game for MU. There should be a big revamp in the starting lineup for the next match.

Robin van Persie: £24,000,000

Manchester United losing their opening game of the season? Priceless.

 

[The Flash]

Manchester United will suck this season if they don't get a midfielder. Their midfield is horrible (for their caliber).

By the way even though I called Gameweek 1 "not a great week", it seems I've gathered the most points in the league. Yay, then.

 

[Black Wizard]

Torres!

 

[The Flash]

Wow I didn't realize there were two games for Chelsea and Reading this week. Cech, A. Cole and Pogrebnyak were in my teams and Pogrebnyak gathered 5 more points against Chelsea. Now I have 64 points and I guess I now can call it a "great week".

 

[Night Prowler]

Oh fuck, Victor Moses joined Chelsea Now I'll have to remove him from my Fantasy team

 

[The Flash]

I just realized Eden Hazard made 5 assists in his first two games with Chelsea. Wow.

 

[The Flash]

Damn I made a horrible move in Fantasy Premier League. I took David Silva out and brought Eden Hazard in for the next week but then realized that Chelsea won't play a game next week. I had to switch back to Silva and that resulted in an unnecessary 4 point loss for me.

Stoke City's fans are a fucking disgrace. For the second season running they have booed Aaron Ramsey for the crime of having his leg broken by a Stoke City player.

 

[The Flash]

Stoke City's a fucking disgrace.

Fixed.

That's a bit harsh. What's your problem with the club?

They don't play positive football. Defending hard, playing hard, injuring players and scoring by set pieces. (or throw ins, for that matter)

 

[Black Wizard]

It works for them. Stoke will never be able to buy Cesc Fabregas so there's no point in trying to play like Barcelona.

Exactly, they are just a team that plays to their strengths. Not a lot wrong with that.

 

[The Flash]

I know it works for them but I hate that kind of football so, I hate every supporter of it.

The Champions League group stage draw takes place today. I'm hoping for a group of death:

Barcelona/Real Madrid/
Machester City
Juventus/Paris St Germain
Borussia Dortmund

Close ! Real, City, Dortmund with Ajax.

We got a nice draw, Manchester United, Braga and Cluj. We may force our way into the 2nd round. Also, the match against Manu at home will be interesting.

 

[Black Wizard]

Second place should be between Galatasaray and Braga, who are tough to break down. Although if Manchester United play anything like the way they did last season both could go through.

Fantasy Premier League: F'kin' hell!
4 players doubtful + 2 injured + 1 unavailable.
Just one defender who could play 100% (if the coach agrees). :/

Transfer time it is.

First match of the season for my team today. With hindsight I shouldn't have gone out on the piss last night.
