Yahoo! EPL Fantasy League Week 28. Mossy's still no. 1. Yahoo still sucks (they still haven't completely updated Week 27!). Table and trash (Yahoo) talk inside.

No more yahoo league next season? I've become increasingly frustrated with them this season: They don't update on time, now they've left one week half-done while they move on to another, they no longer tell you when players are injured, and I don't think they've added some of the new players that have come on the scene. Am I wrong? Did everyone get all their scores for games played two weekends past? I've had Ivan Campo playing in the Bolton v Birmingham game March 6, but still no points. I'm sure those who had Forsell (who scored the gamewinner) are more aggrieved for not having the points. At this rate, I'm not sure there's motivation on yahoo's part to keep this thing running. At least not for free. The standard has declined miserably since last season. So, I hope they put it out of its misery, or start charging for it and doing a much better job. My vote right now is to leave this all together and play exclusively on premierleague.com. Graargh!

I'm with wc2002 on bidding Yahoo adieu. Not to mention the weird point fluctuations that were occurring at the beginning of hte season.

I like premierleague.com much better.

I'm quite fond of it myself ;) I generally look at bbc news for injury reports anyway. But yeah, looks like I'll win it this year at a canter as predicted last year, bit dull - what on earth happened to you guys?? I think the EPL for next season, even though I've been neglecting it this season. Until then.. Come on people! Poor show all round.

I'm happy with the other wankers. Who is Misanthropic Academicals? That was an amazing score this week, so much for me and fourth place!

That would be the Fat Buddha. Perhaps he's the only one who can stop Mossy. Which would be a strange repeat of events. Ommmmmmmmmmm.

Hey, i'm not out of it yet!

If you manage to catch up with me, I will eat my.. erm.. cheesecake. Yeah. But yes, 40 more points a week than me should do it - someone in the other league I was in got 170 this week :o

All I will say is that it doesn't pay to get too gobby.

Don't get gobby with the Buddha.

Does anyone know why the silly chuffers haven't included Middlesborough v Blues in this weeks games. Should I ditch my Blues and Boro players or will they correct the oversight?

posted by Fat Buddha at 04:24 PM on March 19, 2004

Ditch Blues players? Sacrilege!! You'll be signing Vilers next.

I haven't ditched em, but bugger me it's giving me heartburn. When I say em I mean him.

This is the kind of crap that yahoo is famous for.

posted by worldcup2002 at 07:01 PM on March 19, 2004

How's this, I say here who I would replace Mendietta and Forsell with if Yahoo don't include them, and you buggers give me the points. I jest.

Bloody hell, when did Saha get injured? I did not know this.

Bloody hell, when did Saha get injured? Oh crap!

You don't know the half of it. I dropped Hyppia and Campo this week. Guess who scored today?

posted by worldcup2002 at 11:18 AM on March 20, 2004

Thank you Mr. Forsell! But I don't understand why Howard had to have a day off, indifferent form my ass.

posted by billsaysthis at 03:10 PM on March 20, 2004

Probably something to do with 14 goals conceded in 6 games.

posted by squealy at 07:24 AM on March 21, 2004

Barthez is gone, Caroll is not the answer, put my Timmy back in there Sir Alex!

posted by billsaysthis at 10:59 AM on March 21, 2004

Well, at least he didn't score -14 pts like last week. Sheesh.

posted by worldcup2002 at 01:06 AM on March 22, 2004

Sheesh to Howard, I mean. That was the worst score I've had from any player in the fantasy league. Ever.

I've moved up to 7th... Fear me!
