The Numbers Game – Something From The Weekend

I'm still in shock TBH

Even Audley made it to round 3

Who to bring in for Drogba? Tired of waiting for his form to return. My other forwards are Elmander and Carroll.

For those playing the Fantasy Ashes games, make sure you get your transfers in before the lockout.

Sepp Blatter and FIFA need to be ex-communicated,hung drawn,quartered and burnt.
Where do ya start,i mean seriously,they are a law onto themselves.
They can do whatever they like,Football is in a bad bad way,i honestly think a break-away federation needs to start up,i know it would take generations to fight them horrible people in FIFA but the game is heading for the same fate as snooker and horse racing,the sport has gone ,pigs in suits running the game for money,look at the last world cup,the worst in history,how many games decided by wrong decisions.I can count 9 nations theat were knocked out unfairly not to mention our fiasco (Ireland),but they wont introduce Video Technology because they know they will lose their 'control' over what happens on the field of play.
Then the most legitamate bid for 2018 gets 2 votes because Blatter and Jack 'ticket tout ' Warner decide they can suck the most money out of fans by hosting it in Russia then Quatar,look at 5 of the last 6 WC's Quatar,Russia,Brazil,South Africa,Japan.
How can anyone get to those places without selling their bodies!
Corruption is not rife in FIFA,it is the way the whole organisation is run. I urge people to read Fifa 'how thay stole the game' by David Yallop. It gives a history of the corruption in FIFA since the 50's,its disgusting,read it and i promise you wont look at the game the same again.
Somethings gotta be done, can we cope with another shambles of a world cup? Russia, where your not allowed be black,,and then onto Quatar where your not allowed be gay,u need a licence to drink,and its 40 C at midnight.
I mean whats for 2026 Greenland?
Im sick of FIFA and personally they are turning me away from OUR game the game we all love ,Football The peoples game

To the lad who was asking which footballers to follow on twitter - Joey Barton is a must for little gems such as:

I was just telling the missus about a gash I got on my finger earlier. "I can't see anything" she said. " course not" I told her. "smell it"

Pretty crap lineup for Liverpool.

best defender for 5.6????

Like I said before the result FIFA would get on well with Russian mafia asa Fifa representatives take kickbacks and sell tickets to touts and the Russian mafia are in close relations with Putin according to WikiLeaks so I called it before the result. Plus Qatar is run by a type of mafia as well so they will all line each others pockets at the top and the average Joe in those Countries will get nothing out of hosting the World Cup. As for England they should have said we will host it if you want but should not have spent so much time kissing FIFA's arses. England are better off without the World Cup as far as the cost in security would have been massive adn football hooligans would have ruined our image anyway and there would have been a huge mess. Like I said earlier Osama has probably already targeted the Olympics to attack so that will be enough to take care of for the security for now. We should not bother dealing with crooks and Cameron should have been working on other issues in the UK instead of kissing the arse of crooks anyway. Its better for the whole of the UK that the World Cup and those FIFA crooks are not being paid off by the British Taxpayer. Who the hell wants to go to Russia and Qatar only the gangsters running the World Cup will be there watching, I am glad that those crooks will be out of the UK.

2 votes, 1 cup 😆

Timely news from the Washington Post:

Breaking News Alert: Researchers discover unique, arsenic-based life form
December 2, 2010 1:03:14 PM

I think we all know who that life form is.

Is VDV only missing one/two games now? Brought in MGP last night..

I'm tempted now to hold onto Van Der Vaart.

If reports are true, he might make the Chelsea game, and shipping him out would be a big loss in value when you'll undoubtedly be getting him back in once he's returns.

Even if he misses the Chelsea game, he'll surely be back for the Blackpool game, and I think my squad is good enough to cope without him.

Latest word is that the injury is not as bad as originally feared. No timetable for return though.

Jovanovic scores.

And so the age old argument of whether you prefer FIFA or Pro-Evo has been settled.

This is my team at the moment:

Foster, Carson

Bosingwa,Konchesky,Coleman, Dann, Cahill

Nasri, Bale, MGP, Nani, Etherington

Tevez, Elmander, Piquionne

10.6 in bank.

I have already done 1 transfer and now pondering over a 4 point hit. Please suggest which is the better option.

A) Coleman-->Kolarov
B) Piquionne--> Rooney/Bent
C) Taking no hit.

Please also suggest if i go with Option A then whom to start, Elmander or Piquionne?

I am more inclined towards Opton A at the moment.

Anyone see the proposed stadia for Qatar. I honestly cudnt care less about the WC and all dat business but the stadia are breath taking.

hey guys,
did alex have his surgery? don't see him listed on the injury page.

thanks

just read the second tweet. the asia cup is in qatar this january and despite normally being held in the summer is being held in the winter due to the temperatures.

To all those who say Fergie is lord and master of all footballing governing bodies: 2 votes..... 😀

Test

ok i have to vent and get this off my chest. granted qatar can build stadiums w/the money they have that have air conditioning for the players and fans, but what about the millions of people outside of the stadiums for the month long tournament that will flood their streets as the tournament will more than double their population. small nations such as holland and belgium are forced to host jointly due to their size and capacity constraints, how is qatar any different from that, if not smaller?

also, we don't know what the political situation or hostility in the middle east will be in 12 years time, it could be much better, or much worse. they have never even qualified or been close to qualifying for a world cup and all of a sudden are hosting out of nowhere, unbelievable.

Another fail?

supposedly Qatar is going to dismantle the stadiums after the cup and give them to poor countries. How sweet.

Rubbish tv matches this weekend on sky

A few 3-2 half time scorelines in the Europa Cup. A few teams nearly matching Blackburns effort in defence last week.

Who cares where the world cup is

Let's face it, we're all gonna be sitting alone in our underpants in our dark bedrooms playing fantasy world cup and with 6 simultaneous streams and text updates constantly refreshing on our laptops

Have there been any indications of called off games yet?

I don't want to make transfers until there is a fair certainty that my team won't be decimated by snow.

No doubt Arshavin is still partying Hard in Zurich

makes him a doubt to face fulham slightly

Steau's pitch is hurting my eyes.
