I went with Gerrard as my fantasy captain this week, instead of El Nino. Probably NOT a great move.

However, Liverpool wins in thrilling fashion while visiting West Ham.

Elsewhere in fantasy, Brad Friedl... WHAT a goalkeeper!! :captAmerica:

I take the opening lead in I Know The Score, thanks to correctly predicting the Aston Villa score this week. I had it as my wild card prediction, giving me three times its normal point value.

I play but I don't own a 360 or PS3. But a kid on my floor is getting it for 360 when it comes out so we could still play.

Saturday's results in the EPL, for the most part, were BIZARRE!! Chelsea? What's up with THAT? Cech? WTF?

Liverpool took on a relegation-likely team, Hull, and poured on an offensive show. El Nino with a hat trick, Babel (his substitute) with a pair, and Gerrard with one of the most wicked shots of the year. 6-1, Merseysiders.

Glad I got rid of Almunia from my fantasy team. He did not start against Fulham. Arsene is playing around with things. Gallas got hurt during the game, but continued to play. Mannone was GREAT, as was Cesc's killer pass to VP for the lone goal of the match.

A bizarre week for sure in I Know The Score!

I'm glad Arsenal won, and found a decent new goalie in the process! :D
Poor poor Chelsea... :ymapplause:

Has anyone here ever been to a European soccer game? That's pretty much my dream...

About 12 years ago, I saw Bergkamp and Arsenal beat Southampton at Highbury.

Yep... it's a good dream. It's the reason why I pull a little for Arsenal, even though I am a Liverpool fan.

Finally! A good week. 62 points due to Torres, Keane, and Fabregas.

Too bad Torres wasn't my captain, like you Lavabe. :(
He's been my captain almost every other week!

Reading on Twitter that Charlie Davies plays FIFA 09 on PS3. ChuckDeezy10is his online name. It'd be pretty sweet to play him if you get the chance.

I had 55 pts this week, so congrats on the win. Keane transferred from my team a while ago. Torres, Gerrard, and Cesc were great this week, but everyone else on my team stunk it up. That includes Michael Ballack, who decided not to play due to a leg injury. So whom did I get in reserve? Steve Hunt of Hull... going against Liverpool. BRILLIANT!!
