kudos are consecutive weeks on the leader board and loser board. And, it should be noted, those two high week scores in the middle of the table resulted in some massive jumps up the table. 14 spots !?!

Can I get a "Who's Mediocre" table so I can feel included?

Squads posting their best week yet: Middle Pocket Mares, Ball Booters, The Clitorati, The Magyars, Spofield Town, Upper V, Bitches!, The Lawn Wranglers, ATL Untitled Squads posting their worst week yet: My Hair Is So Bangin, TX Devils, EnFuego, Phatcat FC, Inter Hoxton, Th'All Black (Hand)s

It might be early doors, but it looks like a two horse race. Challenging for both the World Cliche Championship and the Gold Medal for Mixed Metaphors

Yukon, at least we've got each other. Your ass looks fantastic from here. Look at that folks! Isn't it beautiful?

posted by yerfatma at 07:46 PM on September 25, 2006

My Zizou Headbutters sucked ass this week. Bloody Portsmouth defence. And Kevin Nolan. Why couldn't you have let Gary Speed score instead? Bah!

posted by worldcup2002 at 09:37 PM on September 25, 2006

Fat Buddha and I have climbed into the top half of the table. Where we belong. After all, we are Massive Clubs , er, well maybe just massive.

posted by owlhouse at 10:14 PM on September 25, 2006

I watched the Pompey/Bolton after work today and, really, Bolton were incredibly fortunate to get the win because the home side were much better except for the finishing. Admittedly, though, the finishing is really what counts. Schdule seems favorable for me to see both CL matches that ESPN is showing tomorrow. Go Reds!

posted by billsaysthis at 11:19 PM on September 25, 2006

Well done to FB for taking the weekly title. Perhaps my reliance on two Pompey defenders this week was a little unwise, but Bolton only had one decent shot on target and that went in.

posted by squealy at 04:44 AM on September 26, 2006

Two? I had three going, and one as captain. But when they haven't conceded, its hard not to play them. Sol, you should've buried your early chance, you git!

posted by garfield at 09:14 AM on September 26, 2006

Well, I was just above average, so I suppose I can cope

posted by Fence at 09:23 AM on September 26, 2006

Wouldn't that have been sweet. I had the armband on him too. Then I could have distanced myself from Yerfatma's burning gaze on my finely chiseled behind.

posted by YukonGold at 09:23 AM on September 26, 2006

I had the armband on John Terry, who is apparently a long way away from any pitch this week. I have already kvetched about this, though, so I'll be glad I only dropped two places and carry on as if I knew what the hell I was doing.

I hate it when my favorite uncle dies and my FFL team gets no attention. Makes for a bad week.

posted by Texan_lost_in_NY at 11:38 AM on September 26, 2006

First, Texan -- my condolences on the loss of your uncle. Since I haven't a clue what I'm doing, I had previously been following a one-trade-a-week approach and trying to pick folks who were performing well. That's been serving me less well lately, so this week my innovative new strategy is one I've codenamed Operation Sit Tight And See What Happens Because I Have No Better Ideas.

Ah, the "Stay the course/A thousand points of light" gambit. I hope it bears fruit, kemosabe.

posted by chicobangs at 02:53 PM on September 26, 2006

btw, didn't we just get done w/ Gameweek 6?

posted by worldcup2002 at 06:45 PM on September 27, 2006

ah yes. that is mislabelled at the top. the errors, they never cease!

posted by gspm at 11:57 AM on September 28, 2006

btw, you're doing a marvelous job, gspm. Not only with tables, and extra stats, but animations, oh my!

posted by worldcup2002 at 12:32 PM on September 28, 2006

One goal for Andy Johnson (my captain this week) so far against Man City. This is shaping up to be a much better week than last.

posted by worldcup2002 at 10:10 AM on September 30, 2006

And Speed scored, too. But, of course, I left 11-pter Campo on the bench.

posted by worldcup2002 at 11:27 AM on September 30, 2006

um, dumb question. Do bench players show points they would have earned or did you look that up, wc2k2?

posted by geekyguy at 05:05 PM on September 30, 2006

After being rather pleased with myself for sticking the Viler in my team last week, I am rather less pleased this week, having dropped him and sacrificed 9 points.

posted by Fat Buddha at 06:01 PM on September 30, 2006

geekyguy said: Do bench players show points they would have earned or did you look that up, wc2k2? hey geeky, I looked it up, but I didn't have to look far. You won't see it in the Latest Points view of your team, but you will find it on the My Team page. (This assumes he's on your team, of course.)

posted by worldcup2002 at 09:21 PM on September 30, 2006

You speaking of Agbonlahor, FB? That was a sweet goal, no doubt. Villa did a good job of making Chelsea look ordinary. Competent, but ordinary.

posted by worldcup2002 at 09:22 PM on September 30, 2006

Worst. Gameweek. Evah.

posted by squealy at 03:52 PM on October 01, 2006

Good thing for me Saha didn't play this week. That means I get 13-point Campo subbed in instead. Good job, Fergie!

posted by worldcup2002 at 06:09 PM on October 01, 2006

Some terrible referreeing lately, eh? That PK to Tottenham yesterday was a pure crap decision, fer instance.
