I predict a meteoric rise for Andy Freeman's team after tonight from 2nd to bottom to the top 3/4!

[Ferrito]

Indeed, following the first week that is comfortably the highest score I've ever gained, and probably the peak of this season. Bit disappointed by my misplaced faith in Lovenkrands as opposed to the one man goal machine that is DB. Still, musn't grumble! Just to see if it can be maintained.

Oh, and has anyone seen Rooney anywhere? He hasn't scored since the semi-final of the champions league!

[Falling Down]

After my third place finish last season I was hoping for a good start. 

[Jaspersharpe]

Let's not forget though. Anyone who uses Scum players (or to a lesser extent knobs like Fat Frank, Cashley etc) hasn't really won.#moralhighground

Absolutely brilliant blog post about the history of Brighton's problems and hope for the future:

He's done a great piece on Barca too which I've not read in it's entirety yet as it's massive.

I was going to put Bent in but it said that he was unlikely to play. Of course he did and scored. Conversely I included Insomnia as I thought the rumours were just rumours, he didn't play. Shifted Friedel out for Reina cos I thought Villa might be in disarray. The former keeps a clean sheet and the latter shovels an own goal into the back of his net like a twat!

 

Still, not too bad a start thanks to Milner and Malouda. Chamakh looks as if he'll bag a few for Arsenal too.

Did anyone have Marlon Harewood? 

That table's still provisional btw, most scores are wrong and there's tonight's game to include (come on Newcastle).

Yep. I|'m in too, albeit a bit late.

[Mike Tyson]

I'm baffled as to why I had Drogba on the bench, what a knob I am!

[Jaspersharpe]

Yeah Ferguson's just a bitter old twat. For years The Scum have been in able to outspend any club in the country (and most in the world) but now the tables are turned he fucking hates it. Ah diddums you red faced cunt. Now fuck off.

Could have been worse, I removed him from all my teams on Friday when he was listed as doubtful and struggling for form  Chelsea have a pretty straightforward start too so I was expecting them to rack up a lot of goals and clean sheets.

Hence this  I'm not red or blue... but this is one of the greatest bits of f*ck off fergusson things ever!

[Jaspersharpe]

Milner's still a Villa player on FF. I was hoping that the game might reflect the ridiculous sum City have paid for him and his value would have shot up.

Sadly, as ever, the fans always come up with a better riposte than the marketing "gurus"

(Yeah. I know it's Manchester "there's demonstrably more than one" United fans, but it still made me chuckle)

I appear to be an internet meme equivalent of Mary Mallon.

Although I'm no great fan of his; I've no great antipathy towards the gentleman, yet hatred, loathing, and vetch towards him seems to follow me around the internet:

Cheers Jasper. A brilliant summary of the World Cup coverage.

Another year (2007), another television "personality" attaching himself to "footie" culture, and another vox pop from WSC...

Starting to get excited (already) as off to my first home game of the season tomorrow. Watford are visiting.. so we stand a chance of winning! We've also bought a new striker (Jay Simpson) from Arsenal who's supposed to be pacy...

Quite a change around at the club.. I believe 20 players have moved on since last season.. Just got to get rid of that beer swilling cockney japester Bullard now. His £45k a week is probably close to what the first 11 are earning combined!

       

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

And an early nomination for "Kuntz of the Year"

Oh yes indeed!


(Difficult to say where to point the finger really, at the folks asking for this to be done, or the "fans and visitors to the area who are bombarded by collectors on a match-day")

[Jaspersharpe]

Let's just blame Ferguson.

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Quite right.

It's all the fault of the fat-arsed gingger near-bankrupt sponging mingger.

Did you go to Hillsbro today Jasper ?
I'm not asking to crow  - just to talk about the game
