GW23 Matchday Thread

I said I was about 8/1 pre-match to beat CSF in the Cup. I needed Walcott to outscore Jussi by 11. It's looking possible now!

We're both tied on 78 points, but I have Walcott as captain. Surely he's good for 1 or 2 BP's? Would be happy enough if the game stayed as it is now.

Tell me about it! Finger was on the trigger for Ba to Pod all week but left it be when I heard he was ill!

Same as but mine was a toss up between going for Sturridge and Wilshere or Podolski and Noble. Can't complain as both have returned points but that 21+ Pod is on would have been big differential

I have theo captained and also have carzorla , 102 points so far

Pod subbed for Santos

Caught a lucky break bringing in Podolski for the dgw, delighted

Was on 42 points coming into tonights game. Currently on 82.

78, hopefully a BP from Theo will push me to 80.

Don't expect to jump much but I'm sure a couple of people didn't have Theo as captain. those with both Theo and Pod will get a nice jump.

Captained Theo on the app on my phone on Sat but didnt hit confirm. It rolled on to Tevez. So far its cost me 22 points. Sums up my season, I cant bloody wait for it to be over.

Was cursing my luck when he was reported as ill the day after I brought him in but a happy bunny now.

FF can feck off this year, just the opposite to last year for me. I'm looking at 88 points this week and still losing significant ground in my private leagues just because of what seems to be a curse where every single week my VC gets over twice the points of my C.

Giroud subbed oxe on

Luiz on for Chelsea, good news. Hopefully he plays against reading.

WHU down to 10 men as Danny Potts stretchered off

West Ham down to 10 men unfortunately.

Seems v serious injury

Would be amazed if this stays 5-1 now. Ox will be looking to impress and Walcott won't slow down

Especially since WH down to 10 men now as they used up their subs already.

Dunno wouldnt be surprised if the seriousness of the injury and the length of the stoppage takes the bite out of Arsenal

jesus_thats_gre

What was I doing selecting Suarez as captain over Walcott. Between that and having Davies on the bench, I have sacrificed 26 points. Would have had been up to 114 points for the week

Think it was Sagna who was going for a ball, didn't see what happened exactly.
We often joke about injuries, points etc, but when something like this happens, you only wish the young lad is ok.
Bad day for Westham...

That has to go down as one of the most bizarre things I've seen on a football pitch. Absolute stupidity from Hazard.

swoody

hazard just assaulted the ball boy and got red

Max Power

Hazard I'm still laughing.

If only he'd given the ballboy a Hazard warning first...
