Fantasy Football AgentThe term brave is often used to describe the way John Terry plays, yesterday for a brief moment it looked like people were going to start using the term for him as in the condescending description of people with disabilities.His stomach-turning exit from the most interesting League Cup final ever put him the on the front and the back pages this morning giving him a stonking 13 points for his pains. Man of the match Didier Drogba follows up with 11. The pushing and shoving at the end gave the tabloids plenty of ammunition to show their moral outrage. This story will keep them busy all week so expect the main protagonists to stay in the points for a while yet. A new month starts on Thursday so it might be a good time to start looking at your rosters so that you can make the most of a new month. Quizking's got February sown up already but who's to say what will happen next month. Sp3ktor Monday 26 February, 3:09pm Fantasy Football AgentRiise and Bellamy are the stars of the week - piling in a huge amount of points for their punch-up and make up. John Terry's latest injury will guarantee him a top five berth for the next few weeks if his last injury is anything to go by.It's the Carling Cup final this weekend which should prove interesting purely for the fact that both teams will be fielding weakened teams. One through choice and one through injuries. Jose is making noises that it should be an entertaining affair because it doesn't matter to either team. Yeah, right. One last thing, if you haven't seen it already, hunt down Vladimir Romanov's latest rant on your news provider of choice - it's absolutely priceless. Have a good weekend Sp3ktor Friday 23 February, 4:41pm Fantasy Football AgentWell it's been a few days since we last spoke, readers; thought i'd best put some ideas down.So the Champions League is back then, and what a comeback. After the interminably dull group stage, early stage first legs don't really look to offer that much drama but how wrong can you be. True the drama has more to do with what's happening off the pitch than on but then that's nearly always the way anyhow. It seemed fated that Bellamy and Riise would score last night - the two seem to have "ironed" (heh - geddit!) their difference working together for the second goal. The Raw Deal in Lille seems to be rumbling on with Ryan Giggs' sharp freekick seeing him join the top scorers. UEFA action tonight; will it mean more of the same? Probably not. Sp3ktor Thursday 22 February, 1:13pm Fantasy Football AgentAnd where else, dear reader, will you find a fantasy football game that puts Emile Hesley among the top scorers?The clumsy Wiganer's non-penalty puts him on the high table with an assortment of other objects of Paul Jewell's ire. It was also nice to see Zat Knight's splendid moniker up the leader-board for a deeply gratifying fifty quid. This week, it's F.A. Cup replays and UEFA cup ties so here's hoping for a punch up at the Reebok, a Pedersen blast at the Bayarena and well I don't know where Zulte-Waregem is... come to that I'm not entirely sure about this other place... Noo-cast-all. Bizarre!

Duffman Monday 12 February, 2:28pm Fantasy Football AgentThe hit parade is awash with not very good players from England and Christiano Ronaldo who is a very good player playing in England... for now.The scores are spread out pretty far so you have to go some way down the table before you hit the next first Irishman. Probably because the combined forces of media-dom were shaking too hard from laughter to reach up to their laptops and discharge their combined bile on the Republic and their comedy manager Steve Staunton following their hilarious narrow escape against San Marino. Either that or they couldn't be bothered. Anyway, with the International hoopla done for the now, thoughts return to Funds Day Friday and the Premiership on Saturday. Until then... Duffman Thursday 8 February, 7:13pm Fantasy Football AgentWell my stay at the top didn't last long. A truly resurgent quizking is back and pushing for his fourth agent of the month award.A round of internationals this week should see a few more points than usual going to the big names. Gossip has understandably died down after the mild excitement that was the last knockings of the transfer window. This could well see values start to slip back down for players. Make sure you keep an eye out for them when the values change on Friday. Transfer Tuesday sees us clearing the last of the transfer windows exits. Goodbye Gabor Kiraly who went back to Crystal Palace after the end of his loan spell and also fond farewells to Massimo Maccarone - his tirade about Steve "The Magnificent" McClaren will keep us smiling for long while yet. Sp3ktor Tuesday 6 February, 4:40pm Fantasy Football AgentEarly form in any competition is pretty much meaningless in the long run.However, I was very pleased to find myself on top of the table for the month of February. Joining me is taeky: my new nemesis, obviously. It's all still to play for - I can assure you all. The transfer window shut with the sort of assured quiet thud you only get from uPVC - save so for some shenanigans regarding the transfer of Javier Mascherano to Liverpool. Just 27 days for me to hold out. Sp3ktor Thursday 1 February, 11:36am Blog archive |
