EPL Fantasy League Weeks 32 and 33 (April): Thierry Henry may be able to say "It is inevitable" like Agent Smith, but our own title race is far from over, with Kwitters, Ardley and bluebears within ten points of each other. kWaCkY's dumping of Henry actually didn't hurt him too badly in the first segment of the Easter programme (bad would have been this, thank you kindly), but the momentum now is all with squealy, who remained 26 points better over the two gameweeks to pull into second position in both tables. Henry inflated scores across the board in week 32, contributing to whopping 91- and 89-point tallies for skronk and the Fooker respectively. Scrub sides led to scrub scores in the Monday-Tuesday action, except for mbd1, whose 48 took top honours. And I'm running on fumes like Brian Lara here generally, both in scoring and available time, hence the lateness of this update. (more inside)

taupe, stop worrying about the timeliness of your updates. We're all just grateful you do them, period.

Seconded matey. Much appreciated. I dumped Henry just to make the title race more interesting. Honest ;-)

I am sick, sick I tell you. I don't know how I managed to stay in the top 10. This is just plain horrible. And taupe, I'm just happy you do the updates, too. Thanks!

Rock, dropping, my team is! RVN and Timmy are not getting the job done at all.

I am sick, sick I tell you. Of watching that punk David Hansen remain tantalizingly ahead of me despite him fielding a half injured team and making 5 transfers all season. Grrr.

As in four. Also as in "Fuck, he had to score four goals".

I keep telling you, football's a cruel mistress.

If that's true, I'm still 'in lust' with the game. She's been treating me well, and I even came close to breaking 100.

Hey. We need to pick our "trophies" for this league and the yahoo league. This time, however, we may want to refrain from posting images inline, and just provide links instead. MY favorite from last season: The ultimate ladies golf trophy.
