Fairplay to whoever posted MendyY a few weeks ago, my personal favourite so far!

Ha I really don't understand the big deal, don't even think of it when I write it, I've referred to him like this for years, typical to refer to a bunch of players with -y or -o or shortened names (e.g. Ricky / Richy, Robbo, Pogs, Wildy etc... are all acceptable) so why not Aggy? Really grinds some people's gears for some reason!

If the mods want to write it into the charter then I'll take my punishment but we might have to do it for every player then

No. No it’s not.

Actually the worst is Poggers. It adds two letters to his name so isn’t even an abbreviation (and sounds fcuking stupid to be honest)

ScummyMan

I think everyone should take a chill pilly

Markx

I remember the United team having Brucey, Pally, Incey, Sharpie, Butty, Scholsey, Hughesie, Choccy, Giggsy and yes, even heard Keaney being used.

They didn't put in much effort to their nick names in that side.

dsmythy

Aggy makes me think Daniel Agger. *shudders*

I remember that, but the poster admitted to spelling Aguero wrong to annoy others and was perma-banned for it.

I remember it never bothered me and I wondered about the sensitive souls we had then. I figured it was just because he was a poster that people didn't like in general from other forums(lolsoccer probably).

Of course we're all much more reasonable people now

Ninthlife

Onto acheiving my highest score of the season. Currently on 85 with Salah to play tonight and Richarlison, Sane and Aguero (c) to play Wednesday

Looking like Liverpool going for goals tonight.

Going to concede goals.........the defensive double up would want to reap a double cleanie soon or i will lose patience. Bournemouth likely to score at weekend too imo

Would they not be doing that every game?

Well yes, but I was alluding to the fact that they have gone for more attack minded players than usual in midfield (i.e. Keita instead of a holding type player like Wijnaldum or Henderson). Hopefully it has the desired effect, I need something big from Mo tonight.

SlickRic

Just the Mané hat trick and VVD goal and clean sheet needed to rescue this GW from the dumpster fire.

Salah can chip in if he wants.

Wijnaldum (sore knee) misses out along with Henderson and Lovren (slight muscle injuries)

Shanotheslayer

No Lovren means hello Bednarek. Nice.

94 with Salah Richi Sterling(C) Aggy

spock.

Sally?...

Mr.Nice Guy

I've Robertson, Firmino and Salah (c) involved in this game. This fixture will make or break my gameweek since I've no City players.

No city players in a DGW is unforgivable imo

Considered Hazard to Sane but didn't trust Pep. Glad of that right now, though I might think otherwise after Wednesday.

I only had one and didn’t feel the need for another
Luckily it was the right one but could easily not have been
City players with a DGW often turn out to be SGW players

Rikand

Game is live for 20 minutes and not a single post about it?

Does not bode well

extra gravy

Save number one for Fab. More please.

That's one. Milner assist.

Milner miles offside.

Salah is really annoying this season

Terrible from the linesman there

"Good fortune" must be the new term for a terrible decision.

As bad a non-call as you'll ever see.

Mr.Nice Guy

Robbo clean sheet gone. Antonio scores.

km79

Double pool defence is proving to be a very expensive WC mistake

Paully D

Relatively, this is probably my worst gameweek in about the last 3 seasons.

dahat

Really clever goal & Liverpool look vulnerable at the back.

extra gravy

Anderson assist as well. Still has 15% ownership.

siblers

Sold Anderson for Siggy. I'm going to regret not doing Salah to Sterling

He's actually a differential this week for me. Leader played free hit without him in it. Usually don't care much for his hauls, but today I do. 2 pointer incoming I'm sure...

km79

Robertson has taken up some great positions but Keita appears to be unable to fkin see him

km79

Robbo gonna Assist soon

What a miss from rice
Pool are a shambles from set pieces

Mr.Nice Guy

Salah very quiet.

PARlance

Just in from training. Mane got me over the tonne. What's rare is beautiful.

Would have been another Anderson assist. I still have him for some reason.

gammygils

Left Anderson on my bench. Opted for Gerry D :rolleyes:

Pete_Cavan

Linesman trying to make up for the mistake by raising the flag every time for Liverpool now.

He is another for the NEVER AGAIN list
What was I thinking

sheroman01

Looking at the half time highlights. Jesus West Ham should be ahead. 4 really good opportunities. 1 free header and 3 shots from outside the box (2 scraped the post, Alisson saved the other).
