the hellish jinx of fantasy football (or superstitions)

    I recently set up a fantasy football team thinking it would be a bit of a caper. As an Arsenal fan i decided to put some of the boys in my line up for some sure fire points.

    Little did I know that waiting in the wings was the hellish fantasy football curse.

    three weeks later we are out of the champions league and down to a two point lead,

    was it all my fault or some geezer in London forgot to don his lucky match day shorts???

    Cant wait for United to win three points down there. ;)

    I am expecting an almighty battle. Ferguson has already started fanning the flames by saying how he would love to get Arsenal back for their celebrations at OT after the cup game and that if they win the title this year it will be the sweetest victory of the lot.

    Should be a cracker.

    Hard to call. Arsenal are a great side but United should be pissed at the way they were played off the pitch in the cup. Would hope united to get at least a draw, which of course will open the door for Newcastle.

    Arsenal will win and go on to win the league now that they have no distractions, I think.

    Anyone ever notice that when United are out of the news they never lose any games? Mmmmm....

    Look at Arsenals recent record - not too good really - scrapping a home win against Everton, series of draws in Big Cup (Champions League), beaten by Blackburn... if Man Ure beat them at Highbury the Stretford boys have the title...

    Why didn't Wenger buy some defensive cover? And why won't Arsenal cross the ball? Their policy of trying to walk it into the net is entertaining, but it's costing them points....

    And forget Newcastle getting in the door - if Man City win the rest of their games, we can just about squeeze 4th place...

    Hurrah!!:D
