yes it is pretty sad but nothing surprises me any more l see both players lawyers
have got involved, if he plays for qpr on sunday l wonder what reception the chelsea
fans will give him pretty hostile l think.

London Mike

Okay, I just need to know for FF. Does Lampard play both upcoming home games for Chelsea do you think?

Novocastrian

I think you should start a new FF thread. But I certainly hope they don't rest him against the Toon. Whoever they fielded instead would be a bigger threat.

sw6blue

just my take on things, lampard will be rested on sunday but l think he will play
against novo`s codes on wednesday and against the scoucers in the cup final
next saturday.

novo mate lampard still has a lot to offer in my honest opinion

Novocastrian

Excellent. The buffoon will certainly help "my codes".

BTW I'm still perfectly happy, indeed delirious, that Toon are in Europe next year whatever happens in their last 4 games. You have to allow me to dream of another couple of unbelievable successes in the rather tricky run in to the end.

Novocastrian

Fair enough. I think he's well past his prime, but whatever.

<bad luck against Joey Barton's and Anton Ferdinand's QPR>

sw6blue

novo you dislike lampard like a lot of people may l ask why.
newcastle have done very well to get into europe, you dream on a big game on
wednesday for both clubs, chelsea need to win all there remaining games to get that
4th spot.

sw6blue

bad luck novo,joey barton and his crew will get turned over

Novocastrian

It's not that important really, but I think Frank Lampard is one of those players, typically English, who try hard but don't accomplish much except achieving celeb status.

He's also a dirty bastard.

They should suspend the two players fom the game.

A bit of football business that caught my eye this year was SAFC selling Henderson for <if "ridiculous" isn't the word, I'm not sure what is> 20 million while buying Mclean for 350k GBP.

The reason I mention this is that I just had a quick scan through some stats in the PL fantasy league player info and noticed:

Mins played Pts
McClean: 1575 88
Henderson 2343 80

So that's (I reckon):

3977.27 GBP per point for McClean

and...

250000 GBP per point for Henderson.

(Difference being 246,022.73 GBP/point)

Was there a better deal done this season??!!

Mr Weeze

Demba Ba on a free?

Greenhill

Nice!

Carroll out for 35 million and Ba in for free (I wasn't aware of the nature of Ba's acquisition).

............ mins pts cost
Ba:........2379 157 0
Carroll:..1804 76 35000000


Ba = 15 mins per point and 0 GBP per point
Carroll=23.73 mins/point and 460526.32 GBP/point

A difference of 460,526.32 GBP, which is so funny it's not even funny

Novocastrian

I'm not quite sure of how this metric is being calculated, but I'd like to put in a word for Papisse Cisse. Cost 9 million (pounds), 11 goals in 10 games so far.

Edit: Ah, you're all talking fantasy football. meanwhile Toon are living in a fantasy world. Carry on.
