Bring it Pancakes! Good luck LE.

I'll name my team later in the week. Build a bit of suspense ;) :P

[elephants]

Oooo, playing it tactical hahah! I like it ;)

[My Chumps]

De Gea
O'Brien - Vidic - Sagna - Enrique
Oscar -  Hernandez - Maloney
Rooney - Berbatov (VC) - Sturridge (C)

Mignolet, Duff, Taarabt, Santon

Man I hope Rooney and Oscar play...

Made some greulling choices at the selection table this week! Sturridge with the captaincy after a hatrick last week and up against QPR at home this week. Hoping he provides!

Go the Casserole Kids! :P

[elephants]

Here we go Chumpsy! 22 mins and counting ;)

[elephants]

Wowee!

Some classic matches tonight!

Think that the Nolan hat-trick, Pep Reina clean sheet and a Torres goal has me in good stead.

Will it be enough? Possibly ;) But it's late, and I have uni tomorrow so not adding up :P

[My Chumps]

God dammit, I think LE may have me.

Rooney didn't play, captain Sturridge did nothing :(

Clean sheets from Jose and Sagna plus a goal for Berba the only highlights... A Nolan hat-trick... WHY NOW?! :(

[elephants]

Nolan is a super star! <3

Reina and Enrique pretty much cancel each other out, Berba goal = Torres goal.

Both our captains did nothing (although Walcott will get clean-sheet points).

I am so lucky Liverpool only won 1-0 :o Sturridge had me so nervous.

[My Chumps]

I thought we would've destroyed QPR with Sturridge at least netting one :(

Awell.

[elephants]

Ahhhh CF! I can't take the suspense anymore!

[CrowsFan]

Sorry LE, Monday's is my busiest day at uni. Will get it done tomorrow I promise...

[elephants]

Haha all good mate! Just keeping us on our toes, good to see ;)

Congratulations to The Flippin' Pancakes for winning this years edition of the APL. If it wasn't for Nolan scoring a hattrick the title would have gone to The Casserole Kids, but that's the luck every champion team needs. Well done LE :)

[elephants]

Oh my god that was close! I thought I was much more comfortable that that thanks to Nolan!

Unlucky MC mate, intense final. Better luck next year eh ;)

Thanks CF for running a wicked comp, really enjoyed it. Hope it gets up again next year because there are a few that were not involved this year that are keen to step up next season!
Would also like to thank you CF for trading me Kevin Nolan in January this year in exchange for Arteta. Much appreciated ;)

I'd also like to thank my parents for always believing in me and my dog for always being there.

Cheers everyone and:

UP THE PANCAKES
