A loss for the Commsndos this week to the table toppers. I've given the lads a bollicking and sent them home - 28 points will win you **** all lads!

Sooner or Later · 07-12-2014 10:53pm

I need one point from Clyne for a draw, two for a win.

It was touch and go after yesterdays games but today couldn't have gone any better for me with Bony, Downing and Hutton all doing well.

If RoryC and Gillespie Road both lose as it looks likely they will I'll have a 6 point lead at the top.

You must remember there are no trophies handed out at Christmas, its a very dangerous game to think its done and dusted at this stage.

Me, well I am 25 points ahead of Thunderdog with his Rooney the only player to play in MNF.
Iv already told the lads to relax, the points are in the bag and Erzgebirge Scrooge are finally moving out of 18 upwards, truth be known I knew last week the way he was set up I shouldn't have much trouble.
Anyway the Christmas party is back on, and there is a feel good factor around the place again, one of the back room staff was asked me today " daddy, why didn't you spill any tea or be angry this week during Soccer Saturday?

43 37 win for me 4 wins in a row now 6pts off top spot.

Clyne delivers one point and a draw. Not a win, but at least it stops the run of defeats.

Lucky I have an easy game next against Swiper

GLaDOS · 09-12-2014 1:08am

Claiming my 2nd win in 3 gws, the rejuvenation continues

No still 9 pts off the top and 6 pts from the drop. Up to 7th.

FHFC · 09-12-2014 10:39am

Woohoo, back up to second!

iroced · 09-12-2014 2:13pm

This is so tight :eek: !
Only 3 pts between 7th and 17th !!!

Playing jeju in a 6 pointer relegation battle. We have very different teams (only 3 players in common) so it's wide open. You start with the advantage of not necessarily needing a hit...

Given the lads a day off to record the Christmas song; I have a good settled bunch now and looking for a run of results before I wield the axe in the new year.

Swiper the fox · 13-12-2014 7:00pm

I can saw with a lot of confidence that I am home and hosed this week, sooner or later has had a mare and I'm ticking along quite nicely.

FHFC · 13-12-2014 10:09pm

Leading Journeymen 64-48. 16 point with his Naylor, Baines, Siggy and Kane vs my Green Eriksen and RVP. Not just home and hosed yet but well favourite.

16 points is a huge lead, you could have this wrapped up by half 3 tomorrow if RVP gets a goal

You've a few potential big scorers there though. Wouldn't call it yet, need a return from RVP or Eriksen to be safe.

Iused2likebusts · 13-12-2014 10:21pm

5th win on the bounce for me against Leeds the way. He had no luck Dzeko zabeletta and azpil. He also has Ramsey.

Swiper the fox · 13-12-2014 10:23pm

Bloody league leader looks like he's unstoppable this week again, with yourself winning as well FHFC I can only hope to move into third place. I'd have settled or that at this stage if you asked at the beginning of the year.

Swiper the fox · 13-12-2014 10:29pm

The current top 7 are all leading their games so far. Could see a little break from the peloton this week.

I'm in a good position leading 55-45 after subs come in.

His Henderson & Kane vs my Naylor, Baines, Siggy & Eriksen. Should be OK. But who knows... The game has been unexpectedly crazy lately so one can expect anything or nothing at all :pac:...

Tough luck jeju though with Azpi not playing replaced by Janmaat -1 and Ramsey injury (surprised you didn't move him out though since he's out for a month, maybe you're not a pts hit man

)

Been having a whole herd of mares

My last seven weeks now read LLLLLDL which is (a) surely some kind of record and (b) 300 in roman numerals

14-12-2014 7:09am

If eriksen has a quiet game I should take the three points from Gillespie Road.

Lemlin · 14-12-2014 8:28am

I've my tie won it appears. Leading The Bottlers 59-33 and I've five to go. Opponent only has Siggy and Mata. I have Siggy so he needs the 26+ from Mata.

14-12-2014 8:33pm

Barring a cluster**** from Baines, I should have the three points in my match with Gillespie Road after subs.

Congrats on your fantastic score this week. I have 65 points at the moment with no transfers and I'm still 30 points behind you!

Iused2likebusts · 14-12-2014 11:58pm

5 wins in a row the boys are feeling confident. However its as tough as it gets next week an away game in Cavan against Lemlins boys. The lads have been told if we can get a win down there it will be a party bus back to dublin ahead of their xmas party. Lose and there will be no party.

Your bus won't be leaving Cavan if the Commandos lose! We have one loss in the last five and four wins so both teams are going well.

iroced · 15-12-2014 11:03am

After 3 defeats in a row, my second win in a row now. Looks like I'm bound to be even (8 wins for 8 defeats now). The max difference was 2 defeats more 2 GWs ago...

Lemlin · 15-12-2014 5:24pm

I'm beating the team third from bottom this week (The Bottlers) so it should allow anyone else getting a win to put a bit of space between yourself and the trapdoor. I'll be ten points off relegation following this weekend.

6 wins in a row at the start of the season, followed by 10 defeats in a row.

I wasn't as good as the start suggested, and I'm not as bad as the most recent run suggests either

There are 8 teams with less points than me in the league, and the guy winning it is only 11 points ahead of my overall score.

H2H is a cruel mistress

Your lads are taking an ungodly beating this week though. It's the worse the Commandos have given out since we ripped up a certain foxy fiend :pac:

More material for the dressing room wall before week 23. Your Ulster mind games won't work on my boys at all. I won't ask if you've checked the table lately;)

For somebody who only cares about end of season ranking you're getting fierce mileage out of that narrow victory you had back in September;)

"Narrow" is a very poor description. "Massive" would be more apt. I wouldn't call it a "victory" either. I'd call what you got a severe beating.

You brought up the table, not me. The table doesn't matter until GW38. Results do of course matter.

No wonder you're such a poor manager :pac:

It's my first time playing h2h and I hope I don't get relegated as it will be very hard to get promoted. It's all about playing the right people at the right time.

GLaDOS · 15-12-2014 10:43pm

I know people have me down as a lost cause but I haven't given up yet. Desperate to stay up, cause getting promoted back up will be a lot tougher.

Iused2likebusts · 20-12-2014 3:53pm

Up against lemlin very similar teams only two differences
Me DDG Ings
Lemlin Green Bony
Lemlin has yaya capt and I have eriksen.

Swiper the fox · 20-12-2014 6:07pm

I've only had 4 players and my captain hasn't even played yet but I've won this week already, Daithijjj is having a nightmare.
Hopefully Irish Son gets shown some manners this week:p

It'll be close, I'm up 18 but my opponent has Terry, Dummett, Hazard and Costa extra to play.

Actually I think he's favourite

Swiper the fox · 20-12-2014 10:29pm

FHFC looks like he's a beaten docket this week. I'll be up to second unless Fab scores about 20 points. It'd be nice to see Irish son lose to pull him back a little. Lemlin is still breathing down my neck after seeing off busts in this weeks glamour clash.

Xmas is when things get serious for the Commandos. It's the same every season.

You're already inside the top 10k, have you regularly been doing so well at this stage? Can you recall how high you were at Christmas the year you finished around 300.
