Straight swap for Guzan?  :P

[CrowsFan]

Haha no dice :P

[My Chumps]

Saw that coming... Want your racist back?  :P

[CrowsFan]

Haha no thanks. Even if the ruling is overturned when he appeals he will still get a 5 match ban, add that on to a 1 match ban he received for offensive gestures towards the crowd during the Fulham game last month so he is looking at a best case scenario of only missing 6 games and worst case of missing 9 :P

[My Chumps]

Yeah  :(
You definietly got the better of that trade, now Baines is hitting form too...

[Hawka]

Yep, it was part of a big trade.

I gave away Ivanovic, Murphy and Suarez, and in return got Baines, Sinclair and Adebayor.

Since the trade Baines and Ade have done well, but Sinclair not living up to standards at the moment...

Yeah, sorry Hawk... I was sick of losing games so tried something a little durastic  :P
Murphy has probably done better than Sinclair so far, but Baines has it over Ivanovic and Adebayor a fair way over our racist...

Round 18 Results

TwentyNine 57 v 34 Luigi Industries @ The Fish Tank
ML picked up the victory thanks largely to consistent scoring throughout the whole team, 6 of his XI scored 5 or more points, but none scored more than 9. For luigi the only scores of note were Kompany and Simpson who both got 8.

SuperRadioactive Saints 41 v 42 The Brown Trumpets @ The Periodic Table
Top of the table clash and it couldn't get any closer without being a draw. DG picks up the 1 point win thanks to Ba and Mata who both netted 9 points. Disappointment for DG after failed captaincy choices and below par showings from others. Even Bale's 16 points and the aid of home ground advantage couldn't get them over the line

Crusading Knights 26 v 37 Cookie’s Monsters @ The Round Table
CM picks up the 11 point win even though he only had 9 players score points, but really HP threw this game away. Sitting on HP's bench as unused subs were Graham (8 points) and Ryan Taylor (10 points), also giving the captaincy to Adam who scored 0 after missing a penalty did not help!

Fletch’s Fossil’s 36 v 62 Crafty Carnies @ The Burial Ground
Biggest win of the round with CF coming off 26 point victors. Valencia (13) and Baines (11) were the main scorers with Gervinho (9) and Clichy (8.) also chipping in. For fletch his highest scorer was Hart with 6, and when your keeper is your highest scorer you know you are in trouble!

Last Nights Leftovers 26 v 39 The Monkey Wrenchers @ The Trash Heap
MC picks up his second win in three weeks even though no one really stood out for his team, the highest scorer being Skrtel with 7. For LNL Obertan (6) was the only player to score more than 3 points in a dismal showing!

DG extends his lead at the top after defeating BS, CF and fletch swap positions, but the big news is MC is off the bottom of the ladder!! The unfortunate new wooden spooner is coaching legend (really?) HP...

[My Chumps]

Hahahaha, thank the lord for Last Nights Left-Overs!
This is a proud day for The Monkey Wrenchers  :P
