[Montréal United]

back in first place
didnt take that long

as lambert how long were you on the top for what 2 weeks
just wanted to let you feel what it was like wearing the crown
now tvd phenomenons is back on top we even gave heinze a rest


I thought you'd be further ahead as nearly half your squad scored (Bellamy, Phillips, Zenden & Scholes) vs. none on mine.

Anyway, I'm shaking up my squad again.

Out:
Riise, Liverpool, D, 6.9
Dickov, Blackburn, F, 6.9

In:
Riggott, Middlesboro, D, 5.4
Beattie, Southampton, F, 8.6

Hal I think we can delete the reserve squad... Ilovecolumbia seems to fancy his chances still (even with three players from Birmingham in his squad).

Kudos to TVDPhenomenons this week... I cant recall facing a team in recent years where so many players scored.

Thank god my defense is keeping clean sheets... otherwise I'd be in 8th place. Hopefully Villa will have a big game on Monday.

Yea and my defense is giving up 1 goal a game and junk. I am in 7th. :( .Villa game should be a big game for me. Except my players perform wonderful and yours sub par :D . I am closing in on you in the Rocking Good Ladder. I am doing the best in that competition in 7th.

I'm thinking the same thing. Trying to find what username and password I used to create that team so I can transfer it to an open league instead of just banning it from this league. In the meantime, just ignore this team.

anyone else wants to see a jermaine defoe hatrick

the reason my team didnt score more is i opted henry as captain
shouldve left robben

Windsor Wanderers Manager Continues To Hedge Over Captaincy

For the umpteenth week Sir Giffen has cost his side maximum points by making the absolutely worst possible choice about who should wear the armband. This week Kolo Toure's debut as skipper was thwarted by Robbie Earnshaw, whilst original choice for captain, Robert Pires, and the latest Wanderers' hottie, Damien Duff, turned in fantastic performances that were left unfulfilled.

While it appears Windsor may gain a few inches of ground on the current table leaders, Wanderers supporters are left to bemoan all of the lost points to date this season.

To this Sir Giffen responded, "There's still a long way to go yet. We're pleased with Francis's and Diouf's displays of late, which has seemed to raise the overall level of play in midfield. When you have so many weapons, it's hard to pick the best one. But I tell the players this all the time, and remind you all as well, that it's a marathon, not a sprint. We're still in the hunt, I believe, and have not even come close to peaking yet."

Giffen conveniently failed to mention the loss of Yakubu, and the fact that his subsequent replacement, Boa Morte, failed to impress on his debut. Should the Fulham standout fail to produce the goods, Sir Giffen is not one to hesitate when pulling the trigger, as evidenced by his almost-weekly forays into the transfer market.

Hal I seem to be getting conflicting reports on how many spots are good for promotion to the Small Rocks next year. I recall you mentioning four spots in the past, while your analysis today suggests three...

What I was suggesting is that TVD Phenomenons, AS Saint-Lambert, and Windsor Wanderers seem to be claiming 3 of the 4 spots with the other 5 fighting for the last promotion spot, currently held by FC Springfield. In the terms of Indy racing, FC Springfield is on the bubble.

How true :( Hopefully Gerrard can right this ship.

In the bank: 3.2 (you know what that means :) )

I just realized I only have three players from my original list of draftees. I wonder who has kept the most of their original players.

I only have two: Sorensen and Ljungberg, although I started the year with Reyes, picking him up right before the season started.

Class Acts have not made any transfers, and sporting columbia only one I think. Same for Ajax Rick James. TVD has only made a couple, but of course hasnt needed to.

Actually between me, you, and AS Lambert we've probably made 90% of the total transfers in the league... far different from the other league... they are all pretty active.
