The fuck did I bring Lukaku in for.

 

[caLLous]

...clearly to make Dele and Captain Kane look even more impressive!

 

[caLLous]

I took a punt on Jesus this week, looks like it paid off (more than anything else I tried).

 

[Moriath]

Always believe in Jesus.

 

[caLLous]

Absolute car crash of a gameweek. Counting on De Bruyne and captain Jesus to save it.

 

[georgie]

I have heard that Jesus saves.

 

[caLLous]

Well there will be some sort of miracle required if I'm going to get a respectable score this week.

 

[caLLous]

Aguero off bench to replace injured Jesus

Emphatically fuck off.

 

[georgie]

Oops.

 

[caLLous]

ffs

 

[caLLous]

And there was me just starting to grumble about Mr. Lukaku, my captain.

 

[itcheh]

Dear Vae / James ... please do something stupid so I can stop stressing about the last few weeks of the season. Maybe pop in the Sunderland goalkeeper and a random Middlesbrough striker? Or maybe do me another favour with Chris Smalling ;-)

 

[caLLous]

I was ahead of @Vae for all of one week a few weeks ago but a string of bad decisions has cost me dear.

 

[Vae]

No chance! It's keeping it interesting! I was within 18 points but you had a much better week than me and gained another 15.

 

[itcheh]

@Vae ... crucial round of fixtures for us both.

I see you've managed your funds better than I have ... which has enabled you to add certain players to your squad that I just can't afford! (I hate you).

This is not helping my stress levels and I dispute your use of the word "interesting"

 

[Vae]

Yep time to see if my focus on transfer value throughout the year pays off. 2 game weeks to go! Still interesting

 

[caLLous]

I made a complete balls-up of the few weeks running up to this DGW so I've had to do loads more transfers than I would've liked. I'll be lucky to hold on to third at this point.

 

[itcheh]

@Vae Same story as last season. Once again I have a narrow lead going into the final game of the season (now all I need from you is a 'Chris Smalling' event to see me through). I'm glad the season is over after this weekend and I can be put out of my misery (one way or the other). Good luck!

 

[Vae]

You did comparatively better than me this week given I had the advantage with transfer value. Screwed by Ozil and Eriksen doing well for you and Hazard and Tadic doing nothing for me. Also didn't help that Cahill & Luiz got rested

 

[caLLous]

Eriksen doing well? He only got 8 points, it's like he didn't even turn up against Leicester. Wish I'd gone with my gut feeling and put Son in instead.

 

[Vae]

As much as Hazard and Tadic combined!

 

[caLLous]

And I suppose more than Hazard and Rashford combined.

 

[caLLous]

Well, that's a good start. No King today.

 

[Vae]

Well done @itcheh - That late Ben Davies goal then Ozil assist has kept you ahead.

 

[Himse]

I lost two leagues this year, one by 2 points and one by 4!!!!!!

 

[itcheh]

Phew ... at least this year it was because of something I did rather than an own goal from one of your defenders! Well played @Vae @caLLous and everyone else. See you all in August!
