    Chris Kamara and Goals on Sunday (Monday) have strongly suggested that the Premier League should award Mata with the goal. Now if I know anything in life it's that Kammy knows exactly what he's talking about at any given moment in life. A beacon of knowledge :pac:



    I'm getting the sense that the #JusticeForMata campaign is running out of steam :eek:

    ha ha i love that clip! i remember watching that as it happened and rewinding it a few times.

    I think we'll have to admit defeat on this one, the match points have been confirmed, unlike last week with Bale, hopefully he'll start wednesday though and rake in a few more points.

    Does anyone know what the chances of Yaya or Ba playing again this week are? Could make a difference in my private league. How bad is Yaya's injury? Will he be rested before the Cup final? Will Ba be rested?

    Don't think it's a case of Ba being rested. Him and Torres Just seem to have a you go I go type of scenario going on. If I was a Chelsea fan I think I'd want Ba playing against Spurs though. A more physical player than Torres. Can't see Yaya being risked if there's any doubt at all. Pretty much a nothing game for them.

    88 points with ten players to go:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    45 points with up to 7-8 to play, and hopefully points on the bench. Not great considering I had 8 DGW players to start with.

    That's a bad return for 8 dgw players. Who'd you have?

    Thanks. I'm hoping neither play. The guy ahead of me has both, and if they don't play then realistically he might only have 4 left to play, where as I should have 8. I've already picked up 26 points on him this week, so hoping for a few more.

    Great score. The highest was 96! You weren't far off that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce

    That total is from 9 players.

    Al-Habsi (DGW) 0 (did not play) ?

    Ivanovic (DGW) 9 ?
    Zabaleta (DGW) 8 ?
    Bassong 1

    Snodgrass 5
    Carrick 0 (did not play)
    Lampard (DGW) 3 ?
    Michu (DGW) (C) 6 ?

    Lukaku (DGW) 2 ?
    Kone (DGW) 9 ?
    Defoe (DGW) 2 ?

    Subs

    Mignolet ?

    Shawcross ?
    Fellaini 3
    Mertesacker 6

    Had kinda taken my eye of the ball, especially with the goal keepers (Al-Habsi), took a four point hit as well in order to bring in an extra player when I seen Al-Habsi hadn't played in so long. Looking like Michu may not feature in his next game either.

    :(

    Thankfully above the average score though..

    A few may have the keepers off both teams so 2 2 will do


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    I would imagine some have Begovic.

    I've seen a few with Mignolet and Wilson, although Wilson may be out.


  • Posts: 17,735 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Just Begovic tonight for me.

    Something is wrong here, I've checked your team twice and still can't find Bale.

    A 2-2 draw tonight would be great. Have nobody but a my nearest rival has Shawcross and Begovic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc

    Wilson starts. A clean sheet for him and the total for my 3 benched outfielders will be 24 points.

    I have Distin on the bench, made a mistake putting Clyne in and didn't realise until after the deadline :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭Stevecw


    Mignolet clean sheet please, do not want a repeat of last Monday! a 0-0 would do fine as my 2 main rivals for league, 1 has Johnson, other has Walters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 252 ✭✭Kinder Bueno


    Walters goal, Adam assist.

    Walters goal = Awks

    On the plus side Emmet's Irish team has a goal :D

    Forgot I had Walters :D

    O'Shea's CS gone though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    O'Shea's CS gone though.

    Captain Walters though and we still have Wilson's.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 252 ✭✭Kinder Bueno


    Craig Gardener sent off. That Stoke CS looks likely now. :(

    Wilson went off at half-time so no clean-sheet for him
