You are on the ground, so I'll go with your take, but from afar there doesn't seem to be much reason for optimism at this point.

Allison, I love that half price lemonade story
If I was offering a discount on lemonade, I would be just rubbing it in. But, my children aren't cruel like their mother (at least not yet). They truly felt sorry for the Manchester United fans.dogstar wrote:The lemonade story just sounds like rubbing it in to me.beantownbubba wrote:Thanks for the very helpful responses.

Somehow missed this post. Thanks Allison.allisonsdc wrote:It was a dismal week for fantasy EPL, indeed. I never should have traded Aguero for Costa!! I traded him back for this week. Now watch Costa go and score a hat trick.
Congratulations on leading the league last week, Bubba! It will be interesting to see how the Spurs vs. Man City match pans out for your fantasy team. Good luck!
If true this is awesome but I have my doubts. I mean, after all, how did he afford to buy those season tickets anyway? I think this story should find a place in the DBT forum as an inspiration to fans everywhere, especially slackers who can't make it to homecoming because their wife's having a baby or some shit like that.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:5-Year-Old Diehard Celtic Fan Calls Up Club To Apologize For Missing Game
this is, of course, from Scotland, but this thread is the only place it makes sense to post it

Sure, enough he scored Spurs only goal. Of course his replacement on my squad did nothing for me. my wife is Spurs and that made her very happy, especially given how it looked like certain doom for them.beantownbubba wrote:Just thought I'd mention that Harry Kane scored two goals after the 88th minute on Saturday, leading Spurs to a late victory and dragging Boots for Bubba along w/ them.
On the whole I have to say that having your star healthy and playing is a lot better than having him hurt and inactive.
beantownbubba wrote:Led by my trio of Spurs, it was a good weekend for Boots. It was a dominating performance by Spurs but the interesting thing to me was that even though Spurs were in control, Swansea was hanging in until a questionable penalty was called and made by Harry Kane. The call was unfair, but the 1-0 score was much more reflective of the nature of the game than 0-0. Once Spurs scored it was like Swansea realized how overmatched they were and the floodgates opened. Hard to believe the result would have been much different w/out that call, yet the call seemed to mark a fundamental change.
Our league seems to be settling into 3 divisions. Very competitive w/in the 2nd and 3rd divisions w/ allison way out in front, alone in the "first division".
Don't blame you, Leicester hasn't shown much this year. I gave up on Drinkwater. Then today?sactochris wrote:It never fails! I stick with Jamie Vardy through his run of 2 goals from 14 games and then, when I drop him, he goes out and bags a treble. It is pretty sweet watching the Foxes destroy the Citizens.

Spurs leading 3 -nil in the 90th minute; no goals for Mr. Kane.
I wish Men in Blazers had a new episode every day......... that and Rebecca Lowe to appear in each episodeGang Green wrote:One of my favorite weeks of the Premiership Season. Why?
1. Had a decent week in the 3DD fantasy league. Thanks to that mid fielder on Stoke, and the Chelsea defender who's name I can't pronounce with the assist to Costa.
2. The show Behind the Badge about Watford of NBCSP, I found out why a team called the Hornets have a Moose on their badge. Actually, its a red deer (or a heart) which is the symbol of Hertfordshire. For a long time Watford was the only professional football club in Hertfordshire, but now there are two others. Does anyone know who those other two Herts clubs are?
3. Finally, John Oliver (a Liverpool nutcase) on Men in Blazers. One of the best comedy episodes of the year.
I *think* I know one........ Stevenage?Gang Green wrote: For a long time Watford was the only professional football club in Hertfordshire, but now there are two others. Does anyone know who those other two Herts clubs are?
