Bergkamp versus Juventus. Forgot how awesome that was.
Well done on what is undoubtedly the best Sportboys post. Must have taken ages!

There a few to many defeats in the “memorable games” section for my liking.

But other than that good work!

Ah no problem, glad you liked it. It was fun to do the research/watch the clips, I just wish youtube wasn’t dominated by Fifa/Pro Evo goals instead of the real thing – would have been much quicker!

[...] passed a lot of milestones these last few weeks (Sportsboys has an awesome breakdown of Wenger’s tenure) and so why not throw one more on to the pile: today will be his 750th match in charge. We all know [...]

Probably the best encapsulation of Wenger’s tenure at Arsenal that I have read.

Thanks for doing this!

Haha, what a thought! Well in three years of fantasy football and basketball he’s yet to come above either of us, so I think maybe we’re the ones always telling him where he went wrong…

Much worse, I’d imagine it would be like an ex-GF’s new fella telling you how good the sex is between them and where you went wrong…

Perhaps, though it will be even worse from him. Not that he’ll win it…

They are made of Championship glory… I’m guessing you don’t know what that is, but never fear, I’m sure come May Amer can explain it to you in full (I’ve never been a good teacher)

What are the rings made of? Polos? Doughnuts?

Well yes, but I still have three rings compared to your combined zero… But anyway… I need something to take my mind off my crap fantasy season!

Has boasting about Challenge Lawro replaced boasting about fantasy football for you?! You’ll have to wait until the Saturday after international week which is when I’ll update the poor form of the last few weeks…

Nah it turns out it counted sub appearances too. That’s what made it so amazing!

Care to update your readers on how Challange Lawro went this week?

I thought the Bale stat was only for games he started?

Comment on Fantasy Premier League – Gameweek 8 by thesportboys

Hmm, I do contradict myself a little bit there don’t I. I think long term Reid is a decent choice as he will be at much of Sunderland’s creative play going forward but for the next couple of games it’s not worth it.

They do have Birmingham and West Ham coming up so some potential for points there but I think the avoid Sunderland players generally applies for the next couple of weeks at least.

That said, Bent did score for Spurs against Man Utd last season so perhaps he might still be worth bringing in if you don’t have him. I will try and be clearer next week!

I’m a little confused by your advice. You say to sign Reid but sell Sunderland players? Do you suggest waiting for Reid to have a better run of games?

Ah cheers mate.

I use http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/chalkboards – I think they have every Premier League game for the past four years on there so you can do some really interesting stuff. Or just take the mick like I did!
