I'd keep doing the same thing. Dodgy keeper etc.

Obertan's contributed a lot more in the second half.

For a moment there I saw a player with 17 on his back playing for us and I recoiled in mortal fear.

OBA THE WALL!

Says the Spaniard

I'm trying really hard to make the word "Stevenage" stop popping up in my head.

It's 2:20am and I'm staying up to watch this shit

Should it bother me that it looks like Tavernier is carrying Obertan on the right side and not the other way around?

Ki Sung-Yong has gone to Swansea to sign his contract, Park Chu-Young is apparently in talks with Fulham.

All of my players had no goals and no assists for week one, but Pog, Guthrie, and Torres all scored last night. Went from something like 20 points to a relatively healthy 58

Feel like Ki would fit in perfectly at Swansea. Upgrade over Joe Allen for sure.

The right answer is probably "any combination of kids and geriatrics coached by Alex Ferguson"

27.5 is closer to 30 than 20

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/1893/myteamuy.jpg Tried to take maximum advantage of the double gameweek for Chelsea and Reading. At 5.0, it seems like a no-brainer to choose Taylor over Colo in defense. Colo may be a better player, but he'll rarely get bonus points for it. They'll both get equal credit for any clean sheets and Taylor will score more goals. The rest of the defense (and the midfield for that matter) is just about maximizing goalscoring potential at the highest possible cost-efficiency. Dempsey and Mata just feel like guaranteed points. VDV is ridiculously underpicked for a goalscoring midfielder (4.5%) and has the potential to be a real differentiator for me if he goes on a good early season run. Decided to go a bit adventurous with my strikeforce this year. Gambling on Torres coming good, and Pog just seemed like a bargain at 5.0. Filled my bench with cheap players who I thought would have the potential to rise in value this year. Marveaux has the potential to be a big hit, Guthrie should be starting every game for reading and should go up in value significantly if they do well. Clyne is only 4.0 and could rise quickly if he has a breakthrough year. Sub goalkeeper is always just any 4.5 who starts every game for his club who can get me the minimum points in case my main goalkeeper is out. He'll be starting the first week though since Reading is worth double points.

I don't see a whole lot wrong with Newcastle United being a prestigious team in a prestigious league.

Will be good to have him available for Spurs just in case Tiote is actually injured.

So that's Cisse, Ba, Colo, Tiote, Ben Arfa out? Might as well forfeit.

Fingers crossed DiMatteo fucks up in spectacular fashion. Then they'll just pay off his contract sometime around January, hire the best manager money can buy, and still finish in the top four anyway. Pisses me off how there's no consequences for failure at some clubs.

Any Olympic medal, and gold medals from the Asian Games. 2002 WC squad got it too didn't they? That was a special case. Government has stated that they'll no longer do those and will only hand out exemptions for the Olympics now.

Any Olympic medal, and gold medals from the Asian Games.

The Brazilians really, really don't want their silver medals

Does that mean no national service exemption for him? Gonna suck if that got away cos of some naivety on his part. Meh, I'm sure common sense will prevail and we'll work something out for him. It'll be ridiculous if they actually take his medal away for holding up a piece of paper somebody in the crowd gave him though.

A bit of drama: a Korean player has been barred from participating in today's medal ceremony and could be stripped of his bronze medal after displaying a "political message" on the pitch after yesterdays match

Man, sorry Filipao. This must suck. Crazy that Mexico is winning it, they were so poor in the opener against us
