BOAST!!!!

Continuing my trend of boasting about my worse than piss poor performance, see exhibit 1 and as per requests see exhibit 2

...

I'M LAST!!!

By a lot. Even doubling my points would barely lift me from midtable mediocrity.

I'm thinking I have to do something drastic to improve my football knowledge...like move to England and actually watch it (or something).

A helpful tip...

You know how every season there's one manager who signs a player and then that player, regardless of how they were playing, starts to play like shit. Or the one who sells a player and then that player starts scoring like a madman. The thing to do in these cases is to keep an eye on the manager's transfers - bring in the players they drop and get rid of the players they buy - and usually I am the idiot that everyone keeps an eye on.

But not any more.

This season, you need to keep an eye on one person and one person only.

Michael Rakison

Why? Very simple. Two words. Dean Ashton. The season hasn't even started and my father has a crocked player as his star striker.

Laugh? I nearly shat.

In lieu of talking about football

Am I awesome or what?

Despite my team picking prowess I have already had to make a transfer. Because one of my players got bought by a first division team. WTF? And I thought he was a steal at 2 million.

Famous first/last words

What do people think will be the top 4/bottom 3 this year? Here's my unbiased, highly accurate, and not-at-all-designed-to-be-irritating view:

1. Liverpool
2. Chelski
3. Manure
4. Tottenham

(Sorry, D-Rak, but if Arsenal continue the trend of being youth development for major clubs ...)

18. Fulham
19. Watford
20. Sheff Utd

Dear Mr Wenger

Why are you such a wanker? Can't you see everyone else buying players to make their squad stronger? Hadn't it occurred to you that Arsenal might be better with some new faces? Even Spurs have signed some strong player, even bloody Spurs!!!! You have one more day - after that, I'm supporting Liverpool for the rest of the season.

Yours

Thierry Henry
