APL Round 18

[elephants]

Cmon boys. Need goals from Giroud, Walcott and Nolan to have any hope. An assist from Gibbs and Kos/Cazorla having a rest would also be nice :D

[Holz]

Not sure how they are doing it but KKS looking like continuing their run with caretaker coach Holz. probably will remain undefeated.

Score update! :)

Goodfellas 52 vs 66 Scaling Saints
Players Left
Goodfellas - Mertesacker and Reid
Scaling Saints - None
Analysis
Highly doubtful Mertesacker and Reid can score 15 points between them to get the win. Lock Saints in for the 3 points here.

YNWA Warriors 32 vs 41 Blue Mountain State
Players Left
YNWA Warriors - Podolski (C) and Wilshere
Blue Mountain State - Szczesny
Analysis
Tough one to call here. Podoslki didn't play in the first game and if he doesn't play again Wilshere will become captain and Johnson will come off the bench meaning the Warriors will be on 40 with Wilshere (C) to play. Could be a very close game...

KKS United 55 vs 44 The Casserole Kids
Players Left
KKS United - Vermaelen and Chamberlain
The Casserole Kids - O'Brien and Sagna
Analysis
11 point lead, I would say KKS United have this game won.

The Flippin' Pancakes 35 vs 49 The Brown Trumpets
Players Left
The Flippin' Pancakes - Walcott, Nolan, Giroud, and Gibbs
The Brown Trumpets - Cazorla and Koscielny
Analysis
The Pancakes really need their players to fire if they want to have a chance of winning this one...

Every time you put one of these up I'm ina  too close to call scenario CF.  ;D Luckily, I don't want Podolski to play here or in my main team either. I have some bench points I would prefer in both cases!

[CrowsFan]

flower you podolski!

[Vicious Sandwhich Attack]

I retract everything I said about preferring him not to play.

[elephants]

flower you podolski!

Where's that Jukes kid that claims he's so unlucky yet has the lowest Points Against stat in the league?

This here Jukes, is the definition of unlucky.

Robbed CF but kudos to VSA for having the eggs to give the inconsistent and erratic Podolski the C

[elephants]

Pancakes... 35 + 24 = 59

Trumpets... 49 + 8 = 57

Don't know is CF added home ground advantage for me yet but I assume he did so...

I need to hope that the Bonus Points go my way.

In my opinion they should go

Podolski 3
Walcott 2
Giroud 1

But only time will tell, would be a massive turn-around if this comes off!

I think I hold a two point lead with BP's to come.

Podolski (2)
Walcott (1)
  :o

Im a little peeved... it's left me on 98, I;ve never cracked 100 except that week a couple of years ago when all the teams played twice!

[elephants]

Yeah Giroud!!! Ahhh Arsenal you're fantastic.

I think that means I won but I'm waiting for official confirmation from CF before I begin jumping around in celebration.

Bad luck VSA, at least you ended up with the highest score so far this season (i think)

That's basically saying everybody I beat is unlucky because RVP is a beast captain.

It's unlucky when a player scores 2/3s of his season's goal tally against you as captain...and how about losing by a point and drawing in 3 weeks?

At least it's the cup soon, that usually brings the most out of my players RVP

[Jukes]

C'mon Hazard, be b& for at least 3 matches. What he did was unforgiveable and should be heavily punished, to kick viciously in the stomach a ballboy, just happens to coincide with me playing CF three weeks in a row however...

[elephants]

The kid took it like a dog.

That 98's in my main game team Ele... but all good, I'll crack it one day!

Ohhhh hahah okay. I was thinking "wow, Podolski must've killed it then!"
