Interesting to note in the Warriors vs Trumpets game VSA took the captaincy off Bale and gave it to Podolski. If he had left it with Bale he would have won by 3 points. Why did you take the captaincy off a guy who had scored 69 points in the last 7 gameweeks? Seems crazy to me!! ???

Another win!  8)

Aw :(

Purely because of the opposition, I was kind of right in that Arsenal won 4-1, unfortunately Podolski didn't get a decent run at them.  :'(

I also ignored my own fantasy mantra... "Good players score good points against good opposition" I tend to do it once a year in everything and get duly taxed for it.  :o
