Hi there,
been checking out the site for a while, but this is my debut post! The Premier League fantasy football's pretty engrossing, possibly the next best thing to actually standing at the touchline. Got 47 points from matchweek 1, though not having much luck with strikers. Picked Leroy Lita, Benni McCarthy and Wayne Rooney, which was a disaster. Lita injured himself stretching in bed, McCarthy was knocked unconscious against Middlesbrough and Rooney's out for 2 months! I feel very sorry for whoever I next pick up front, though being a very mean Man U fan I've decided to go for Man City's Bianchi: He'd better be very careful..

Welcome aboard, Shakey - 47 points is good going considering your three strikers had a 'mare of a weekend! I'm a United fan too and I'm reluctantly impressed by Bianchi, so I hope your magic works before the Manchester derby next Sunday...

aye, i'd gladly have taken 47 points for the first week
i hadn't just a 'mare up front, twas a 'mare all round with jagielka not playing and lua-lua shipped off to greece instead of playing against derby
still, should fare a bit better midweek, should have 10 playing with the outside chance of having all 11 playing if jagielka gets a go vs spurs

red card for ronaldo last night, already four points behind chelsea - united are going almost as badly as my FF team!

My earlier attempts to trash-talk in an ironic fashion have backfired somewhat, as I am in fact winning! Woo hoo! Probably not for long, but I'll take any victory I can.
