Use the links below to navigate to the page you're interested in and
have a good old nose around in all the other managers' business - you
know you want to. Or try the links at the bottom left, which will take
you to various sites holding info on players, teams, injuries,
suspensions and all that other important stuff.
You, of course, will do better than these cheerful chappies. You will
home in on the new superduperstars before the ink on their contracts is
dry. Your defence will keep out more strikers than Arthur Scargill, and
your attack will score more than Don Juan, Lothario, and Little Billy
Kershaw combined. You will be unstoppable - the behemoth; the Kraken;
the Juggernaut. And on that day my friend, Satan will be skating to
work.
Even with the drag factor of an unlucky oggie, Tammy (Kevin) Abraham 's
hat trick makes him this week's top Shih Tzu. He is extremely
talented, and I suspect the emails are already raining into Gareth
Southgate's inbox. Also, Chelsea fans will be asking "When we were
struggling for goals last season, with a flabby mixture of Giroud and
Higuain, where was this bloke??" And the answer is "on loan at Villa,
scoring 26 in 40 matches." Only slight criticism is that he does
resemble, just a bit, one of those Air Dancers you see outside garages.
Never mind, lad, a good haircut will soon fix that.
Two more gratuitous errors this week that defeated VAR and altered the
results of matches. Manchester United, surprise surprise, were the
benficiaries of Son of Ron's poor eyesight, as he failed to see
Andreas Pereira handle the ball before Rashford rushed towards it and
earned a penalty. I though hand contact by attacking players,
regardless of intent, that preceded a goal was supposed to negate said
goal, but apparently handling the ball immediately before a defender's
foul that earns a penalty is a different category, and not handball at
all. At Sheffield, Lee Mason and his Linos not only missed a clear
and obvious handball by James Ward-Prowse, but refused to watch the
video of the incident, presumably because it would have slowed the game
down. Or possibly because none of them believed they could
possibly have made a mistake. It's hard to tell the difference.
Whatever, Leicester and Sheff Utd were swindled out of a point, and MU
and Soton each have 2 points they didn't deserve.
More
efforts to get nominated as Incompetent Ass of the Season, this time
from defenders Otamendi - robbed on the edge of his own area by Buendia
who teed up Pukki - and Sokratis - who just gave the ball directly to
Deulofeu to tee up Cleverley. Boys, there's a reason neither of
you is a wizardy midfielder with laser-like passing and 360 degree
vision, so don't play as if you were, it'll only lead to ridicule and
possibly an extended familiarisation period with the subs bench.
