    Last weekend madness. Have taken a four point hit to make 3 transfers, get rid of two out of three injuried players, have 3 City players, and bring in Cisse for Newcastle.

    :D

    Must get back into the Boards top 700.

    Oh, and Yaya Toure as Captain.

    COM ON CITY!!!

    Torres as captain. I can see Chelsea stuffing Blackburn. 2000 points is my target. I'd need an epic week scoring-points wise to reach that target (80 points or so). 4 players in. Feck it. He who dares :pac: I have a feeling Bogdan will have a monster score this week :pac:

    Johnny Evans starting is good news! Even though everyone has him a few in my league had him on the bench.

    Aguero as captain....let's go City!

    That's the second time in a row Yossi has scored in the first 5 minutes. And I get why you said Yossi now but I thought it read "Ade goal, Yossi assist".
