Firstly, here's the current Fantasy Football table - you may notice I have slipped down to fifth... FIFTH!!!!! OMFG, what happened there then?

2 danny joyce DANTHEMANS X11 1078
3 Nikolay Mihaylov Leeds Ledeburg 1077
4 pearse armstrong celtic united 1037
5 Richard Uttley Uttley Allstars 1008
6 glynn wilkinson postjockey 990
7 Lee Holland BladeRunners 977
8 Dave Yates Daves Dyanamo's 968

10 michael cardwell team cardy 955

Well done Jester, you're looking good to take the crown (which this year happens to be a hat that flops over slightly with bells on it).

I'd also like to say that Chelsea were robbed of a place in this years Champions League final by a referee that doesn't even know what a f****** penalty is! Unlucky John, you're not going to get to make up for your crucial penalty slip in last years final by beating the Red Devils in this years final, and you WOULD have beat them.

One good thing to come from the semi-final against a very lucky Barcelona (with ref on side) was a sheer class goal from the returning Essien.

Changing the subject completely (because I can't be bothered to start a fresh post) I would like to say a big "well done" to comparethemarket.com for giving us some light hearted and very funny comical relief during the adverts which only usually wind me up (read on).... Meerkats rock... simples!!... just look how he mimes along to his own jingle, which happens to sound the same as the other - sheer class.... but wait,

...where have the drink manufacturers gone so wrong at the moment (Duffy)... rides bike... "I want to live...." ... YOU WANT TO SHUT UP!!!!!

Fantasy Football 08/09

It's nearly here - phew! The new football season is nearing it's start and there's no better way to enjoy the entire season than in a fantasy football league with your friends and colleagues, so this one goes out to all my friends, colleagues, readers of my blog, and their friends as I challenge you to finish the 08/09 Premier League season in a higher position than my team, the Uttley Allstars.

For this one, we'll be using the free Sky Sports Fantasy Football, because 1. it's free, 2. it offers some nice prizes, and 3. we can have our own "private" league.

Here's the link for the free sign-up page, http://www.skysports.com/fantasyfootball and when you've created your team you can join League Uttley by finding the "Enter New League" button, then entering this pin, 169933, and of course the league will also be regularly displayed on my blog so the leaders can have their bragging rights.

Enjoy!

Fantasy Football 08/09

I really feel sorry for John Terry

Last night was the Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester United.

The first half was all Manchester, and the second half all Chelsea. Overall I would say that Chelsea deserved to win, but unfortunately they didn't. It all went wrong when John Terry had a penalty to take and if he scored he would be lifting the cup. The pressure on him must have been intense but he slipped at the vital moment and the ball hit the upright and deflected wide. John Terry is solid both as a defender and as a captain for Chelsea and this must go down to just bad luck and no-one should ever blame JT for losing the game - if it hadn't have been for him, Chelsea would not have been in the position they were in.

Unlucky Chelsea, but I believe you'll be holding the cup next year John.
