2012-13 English Football Season

My FF injury curse is running strong, I've had two players in my team out injured already. Considering signing RVP, Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale. :)

I think everyone should try work Hazard into their team in the next few gameweeks. I like the look of Ben Arfa as well. Van Persie.. is just too much money. I probably should lob him in there as when I had Rooney in my team last year it doubled the cheer when he would score for me. Your favourite team + player off that team on your FF = you can't go wrong.

Well it can, Like I said the injury curse struck early for me. 11 minutes into our first game to be precise. Sergio :( I expect Dave Silva and Yaya to pull up crippled in short order as well. I hate fantasy football :colbert:

Well that was unfortunate, but the likes of Silva & Toure are always going to get points. Tevez & Torres as captain saved me this gameweek after Sunderland & Reading didn't play. I had McClean, Cueller, & Pogrebnyak. Terry never started either & Lampard only came on for a few minutes. :(

CL group stage draw:

Group A: Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Paris St Germain, Dinamo Zagreb.

Group B: Arsenal, Schalke, Olympiakos, Montpellier.

Group C: AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg, Anderlecht, Malaga.

Group D: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund.

Group E: Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, FC Nordsjaelland.

Group F: Bayern Munich, Valencia, Lille, BATE Borisov.

Group G: Barcelona, Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Celtic.

Group H: Manchester United, Braga, Galatasaray, CFR Cluj.

Man City get shafted again. Good lord that group is a son of a bitch. And how the smurf do United keep jamming these (relatively) easy draws?

Well they did contrive to make a hash of their easy draw last year I guess. I'm reasonably happy with our draw.

You always get a piss easy draw too :colbert: City's group is literally a Champion's League.

Real, Dortmund and Ajax all troutting themselves right now. We're going to walk it. (h)

smurf FOOTBALL AND smurf OLD MANUS THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT :argh:

Sturridge apparently better than Carroll? Hmmm.

At least you offloaded Charlie Adam. God, some of Dalglish's signings were guff.

Liverpool get Udinese, Young Boys and mega rich Russian side Anzhi in their Europa League group.

Man City's draw is brilliant. Not as a City fan but some seriously good match-ups. Real against City will be a spectacle.

Two of the strangest signings this window have happened either tonight or today. Andy Carroll to West Ham on loan. What are Liverpool gaining out of this transfer? I have to think they are doing it for money reasons (?) but why the smurf would you offload a striker (regardless of how much was paid on him last year) of his ability when you have no cover. It's the most brainless transfer I seen in a long time.

Another is Van Der Vaart. Again, what do they gain by selling him. Arguably their best player since he signed back a couple of years ago. They have no real cover either. Sigurdsson is not a natural second striker, who else can fill his boots. I think they will miss him a lot.

Having sold both Modric and VDV in recent days, I have to say that if they don't cough up the cash for Moutinho now then it's a bit of a joke - unless they're conceding that they need to cut costs without CL football this season (and perhaps even conceding they expect to not get it next season).
