Falcao? Don't mind if we do!

Quoted from Col I'm not a United fan but to say they have no midfield now is...lets say, an interesting opinion. With their recent additions they will be formidable once again. Their first 11 looks very strong.

Col I don't know what your definition of first 11 is.

The mighty Man utd with the worst defender's in the premier league Johnny evans, phil jones, Chris smalling and they sign Radamel falcao . Thats like going to the hospital with a heart problem instead of fixing your heart you come out with 3 legs ! They are seriously getting the hand taken out of them with these panic buys by the players agents !

As my own team proved last season, you can have an amazing forward line but it don't mean shit if your defence is conceding.

This is Utd's tactics now :

Have to say, after watching the Chelsea game, I think they will be hard to beat, as much as it pains me to say that.

Fabregas and costa look a strong partnership.

Sold Torres from my fantasy team and had enough to buy Costa lol

Ha, love the diagram and yes there is definitely an element of United going for players they want rather than they need (insert witty analogy here) but with Rojo (pending work permit) and Blind they have bolstered up the defense, I can't imagine Smalling or Evans holding onto their place. Plus, I'm sure they can incorporate a link man in midfield out of what they have to provide for their top heavy team. Wayne Rooney, anyone?

Done well in fantasy over the weekend.
Now the window is closed and everything is settled think I'll use my wildcard to make a few changes..

You should be worried that you're still only 30 points ahead of me after I've suffered two dreadful weeks

I spent most of last season in the top 10k. I'm currently in the 1,600,000 region. I'm comparing my boys, Shep's Prodfoot, to the mighty Manchester United... an imminent resurgence inevitable.

Yeah but I had a dreadful weekend before last.
It's all good now though. Few changes next week and I'll be sorted.

Haha, game on!

The international break has ruined the fun!

Ha nothing beats being a competitive little shit! I love it!

Yep the break is pants. Instead of a Super Sunday to look forward to all I got is Ireland v Oman/Georgia.
Depressing..

At least supporting Ireland you probably never have your hopes built up or expect much from your team. Just scoring a goal is a bonus for you lot, but at least your boys play with some heart and desire.

England suck balls, and we shouldn't. We've got a team of heartless, gutless, millionaire playboys who have let me down for as long as I've been alive. Can't stand our national team. People keep saying about our next generation coming through but I've heard it all before. Once they've been around for a couple of seasons they lose sight of what football's all about -- playing for the love of the game.

And I probably shouldn't give fantasy football tips, but definitely wait until the international break is over before playing your wildcard. You don't want half your team to be injured when it starts back up again. That's the way I'm gonna do it anyways.

Don't worry Arty, I'm not a total novice. The wildcard won't be whipped out until next Friday night/Saturday morning. I'll make sure everyone is raring to go

And yeah, the Irish lads play with a bit of heart but at the moment there's a serious lack of class. Horrible to watch.
I'm one of few Irish fans that would like to see England do well too. Being a liverpool fan, half our players play in that side. But I just find it funny when the British media build them up so much and they fail so miserably everytime. It's become a routine every 2 years at a major competition.

Terrible stuff.

So what do the English boys think of that?

Dull.

My favourite thing was Wilshere stinking the place out. Wasn't so keen on seeing Welbeck score a couple of tidy goals. This is all from a Spurs perspective though, I don't really care for the England team these days.

How Fabian Delph is in our squad and starting while Huddlestone is sat at home on twitter is beyond me.

And I wish Rooney was 18 again, you know, when he was class.

A good win for ye. We had the same yesterday against Georgia. Poor performance but the result was good which will unfortunately paper over the deficiencies in the former.

Does it matter anyway in terms of these qualifiers? Platini's latest brain fart of increasing the Euros to 32 teams is every kind of wrong.
