I recently found out that GolTV now broadcasts via Time Warner- got to watch some La Liga this weekend- Getafe put up a great fight with Barca.

none of my starting 11 scored this weekend.. :-( my total was 518... table isn't ready yet, but my lead is probably pretty slim.

I just signed the GolTV back to Dish Network petition online, thanks for the reminder

I miss the weekly LaLiga and Serie A dedicated highlight shows and matches. They have a ton of really good Argentine games as well

So earlier in the week I switched Crouch for Defoe on my team with Defoe most likely to have surgery on his calf. For some reason though I put him on the bench and in a weekend of relatively little scoring, he finds the back of the net. Why do I do these things to myself.

I think it was a bad week for everybody.

Don't get me wrong, I think Podolski is a great player, just whether he'd slot into the squad where we'd need him, we've got Voronin, and he and Podolski (IMO) are similar - whether he's better or not is a different question. Maybe we should give N'gog and Nemeth a chance, N'gog looks promising, and seems to get in the positions our other strikers can't.

Despite Mr Owen's seemingly cardboard skeleton, he's still the most prolific English footballer at this time - on average, scoring 1 goal every 2 games over his entire career. Including Spain. 398 total league and cup club appearances, 200 goals.

Ribery is awesome... too bad he's French. I can't really see him with the pink though, weird.

aldukes · 11-26-2008, 07:10 AM

He might be the ugliest player since Tevez.

There is nobody uglier than Tevez. Although Ivan Campo gives him a run for his money.

Dossena seems to think Skrtl's haircut will help him. I don't think many players coming from 8 years of Serie A/Italian football will settle straight into Premiership style football, but give him a dozen or so more appearances, I reckon he'll become, at the very least, capable!

Good point. I sure hope you're right.

Dossena is definitely no Skrtel or Riise. He's just to inconsistent. While, I can live with some inconsistency in a striker that will just seem to get lost during games, that is not trait I like to see with my backs.

I have been pretty pleased with Agger's performance since Skrtel went down. He has made a couple mistakes on defense but on the whole played well and gives added pressure on the offensive send as a bonus.

Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal

Looks like it's the season to beat Chelsea at home. And Arsenal scored all the goals!

Keep me smiling, lads.

I'm well on my way to finishing at the bottom of the fantasy table. (Just don't have the time to do the research and make smart roster moves)
