25 Feb 08

After two weeks since the last match because of the FA Cup last weekend and Champions league games, our teams were back in action over the weekend.

Dan has hand another storming week, and looks like passing out a bunch of players in the coming weeks unless his team collapses which really does not look like happening. He’s odds on for the third inter-transfer title, being 26 points ahead of his nearest challenger and 40 or so points ahead of third. His good form is a testament to his bravery with an “all-or-nothing” transfer policy, changing 7 players in one clean sweep, and leaving him with none for the final transfer window. His weekly total of 55 points came mostly from a Torres hat-trick, a brace from Ronaldo, and a goal and clean sheet from Everton defender Lescott.

The hammers also made a bit move as well, scoring a very commendable 47 points, and climbing 2 places in what still is a fierce mid-table battle.

A relatively poor showing by the Deadlies sees him loose second place to the Eagles, and are now finding themselves being slowly sucked into the middle of the table into where many a former leader has disappeared this season.

The Eagles are showing good consistent form, and have finally began to grab a hold onto second place, but will still have to look over their shoulders at the chasing pack. 11 matches to go, and anybody could finish up there yet.

On top however, one wonders if the Magicians are ever going to have a disaster week and get caught by the pack. Now 76 points ahead which is a full two weeks of good scoring  in front. Nothing  is going wrong for them, except maybe for Martin Petrov’s sending off last night for stupidly kicking out in frustration at the end of the game.

For me however the most interesting thing is that only 40 points separate third to tenth, and what happens in there is a real lottery, and to be honest good luck to each and every one of them because they’ll need it.

One final thing though is that i’m not sure when the last game of the current transfer window is. There is no week coming up where there is a full week without games. Two options really: 1)  All transfers in by Saturday March 22nd 12pm (8/9 games left for teams), or 2) Saturday March 15th 12pm (9/10 games left for teams). Personally, I would go for March 15th but for no particular reason at all. Tell me what ye want, cos it’s late in the day for me to be thinking about this now.
