Fantasy Premier League

Sat May 10 11:05PM by Neal Thurman

What a strange Saturday, after having something to do for every Saturday for most of the last 9 months or so, I find myself with a lot of time on my hands today.  A little bit strange but it certainly gave me some time to think about where we've been Read full entry

    Three weeks to go.  Time to close out the season with a bang.  Or just have a little fun.  So why not take a gamble on a scrub coming in to prove himself.  Or a player on a team still fighting for survival.  Or someone on a team already down Read full entry

    Hard to say what I'd do if I were put in Frank Lampard's position.  Certainly, the loss of a parent is a tragic thing and we all send our best wishes along to Lamps and his family as they mourn their loss.  That said, it isn't like his family is Read full entry

    A funny place we've arrived at in the league (the real one, not the fantasy one).  It seems like no one has taken Chelsea too seriously as a title contender for a variety of reasons, good ones I might add.  They've had all sorts of injuries.  They replaced one of Read full entry

    Is there a game today?  I hear rumblings but just can't seem to find any information.Oh... Champions League, that's right! Another Liverpool v. Chelsea bore-fest.  Funny how Lamps, Drogs, and Gerrard are all of sudden over their (or their family's) ailments.  I sure hope the match lives up to its Read full entry

    Reading are in trouble.  Reading should be fine.But Reading are in trouble.  They're just out of the relegation zone  having lost three in a row and having not scored in four matches. And their overall goal difference is -28, two worse than Fulham.  They've recalled Lita from Charlton as Charlton Read full entry
