Mid-week games all wrapped up & it seems many teams had a bit of a rest after the goal fest that was last weekend. A dubious “was it a free kick or a goal kick” decision allowed Everton to nick a late winner against an Arsenal side unbeaten since the start of the season despite Jigglyelka getting an injury time red card. Despite Leicester’s demolition of Citeh last week, they failed to show up at Bournemouth where a single Cherries goal nabbed all three points. Citeh, on the other hand, turned their form around to beat Watford at the Emptyhad. Klopp totally didn’t bow to media pressure on Karius as Filet Mignon kept a clean sheet to take Liverpool to 2nd on goal difference & hot on the heels of the top 4 are Spurs who dispatched Hull who equalled their top flight record of 6 away games in succession….LOST. Chelski made a meal of it at Sunderland, but cam away victors & 6 clear at the top. But goal of the evening came from Black Cats mascot, Bradley Lowery who sent Begivic totally the wrong way & making it quite dusty at the Stadium of Light. A first half goal for The Hammers was enough to see off Burnley while West Brom’s good home form continued as they took a sorry Swansea apart at the Hawthorns. Southampton, despite a one man advantage had a cow’s erse/ banjo sort of evening, sharing the points with Stoke as some more dodgy reffing allowed Ibrahandballovic to set up an offside Pogba…with his arm….(not bitter at all…not one bit….grr…) to put ManUre in the lead. & sublime Palace equaliser was rendered academic though as the Swede squeezed a winner past Hennessey on the 86th minute.
In the FPL classic, the EIB continued their run to take the week by 10 points over the BB&S which puts them into an 18 point overall lead . The is not budging though. Nikolas Vitus Lagartija ’s Damage Dunfermline have all but become one with it. The goes to Planet Dave’s Toluca Lake United who netted 87points. Current table is…
In the H2H, a 6 point margin gave the EIB the win, taking them level on points with the IGM. The has been wrestled from Nikolas Vitus Lagartija ’s Damage Dunfermline as Planet Dave’s Toluca Lake United snatch top spot with 39 points The table now looks something like this…
So the shed hosts a wee bit of a party once more. Not sure where that Buckfast came from, so that’ll be hidden to avoid any outbreaks of Glasgow-ness. I have invited Alan Pardew over so we can throw stuff at him, but he’s apparently taking secret lessons for the next season of Strictly. Anyway, we’re firing up the gramophone & dancing the night away as we wind down from GW16. Thanks to everyone who stopped by & well played again everyone.
Over to you emilystrange for GW17. Vodka may be needed
