I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping the defence together
I'm sick of my midfield even if I thought it could
Too few goals is biting through each and every nerve and fibre
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't wanna be here no more….
Bent 5 points. That's it. Cheers to Rob Styles for denying me a clean sheet.
You must be joking, you don't know a thing about it
You got no problem, I'd stay right there if it were you
I got it harder, you couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay outta my shoes if you know what's good for you
The team is minging, burning me up from the inside
The lack of points, will they ever score...
I don't wanna be here no more.....

The Days Of Pearly Spencer
Barnsley, Bournemouth, Northampton, CHELSEA.... your boys took a hell of a beating.
My colleague in crime's reminiscences on a woeful penalty shoot out record had me thinking. I'm remembering penalty shoot out successes for my beloved Lions. The best of which was when John "Pearly" Spencer stuck that one just close enough for one case of stella to save it. And Crabb was in Turkmenistan with Sipurmat Niyazov and his crazy book.
That Northampton shootout was legendary as the Cobblers and the even more Cobblers fought out a 2-0 thriller, with Paul Allen's kick to win nearly clearing the South Stand at the New London Stadium. We had Nigel Spink in goal, they had big John Gayle up front. Oh, those were the days my friend...
Defeats are like imposters in the night. We have the mighty Arsenal and their big-headed Seaman, the despicable, horrible Swindon Town on a night no-one remembers. Birmingham did it to us in the League Cup, and Norwich did it to us in the ZDS Cup. We lost in the Johnstone Paints to the mighty Brighton last season as well. Wonderful. Remember Rushden and Diamonds? That supernova of a team. Yep. They beat us. Underwood scored the winning penalty I recall. Dodgy name, Underwood.
Talking of penalties, I'm not sure I've got a penalty taker in my FL team this season. How remiss of me. I am so out of practice. Where's Andy Cole these days?
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Could be this one.
I'm out. Like Neil McDonald.

I Like Chopra-in
And for me 7 points with another goal from Chopra plus assists from Malouda and Apache Tevez. Have I picked this seasons Kevin Doyle or Marcus Stewart? Let's hope so. My defence is still resplendent and no clean sheets no goals against. Maybe I should have just made sure it stayed that way.
Am observing the situation with the "Big 4" and their squad rotation with interest - would it be better to get 30 games from someone from a "lesser" club or say 10 games from someone like Benayoun or Sidwell? I don't know, thats why I'm no longer any good at this game.
Interestingly I went to bed on Tuesday night thinking Ipswich had put the MK Dons to the sword 3-2 aet. Then I read in the paper the next morning they equalised in the 120th minute and won 5-3 on pens. Ipswich have won 1 of the last 9 penalty shoot-outs we have been involved with.

Way On Down
Elvis died 30 years ago to day. I found out in Hania Market in Crete. I got stung by a jellyfish on that holiday, and our beach near the villa in Kalathas was populated by American Servicemen who liked saying "Hey, you guys" a lot.
Which leads me neatly on to Didier Drogba. Who got me my points last night. Nice of him. He doesn't look like Elvis, isn't American, isn't dead, and as far as I am aware, has never holidayed near Kalathas.
16 points off the lead in my division, and with three new recruits. An African, A Belarussian and a scouser. Top dollar.

Bent out of shape....
Well, that was an impressive display. I guess £16m don't get you as much these days.
Spurs looked dreadful, and Jol has found you can't have four strikers, all of whom would command regular places at many other clubs, if your midfield pongs.
And Spurs defence is the same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.
Psycho Killer, qu'est que-ce?
Take them to the river.

Tie My Bad Djourou Down, Sport
Well, at least for one more game. Sunderland at home. Here's hoping for some cheap points before I boot out this waste of space for Ledley King's injured self.
Yes, I'm that desperate.
After tonight, he'll be for the Chopra.
Enough tabloid puns.

More Refinements
In an effort to get a defence who at least play the axe falls on Giles Barnes and Sami Hyypia. I could regret the last one but I prefer to have players who are playing even if they are leaking goals like a sieve. I bring in Rozenhal of Newcastle who is a big Czech and Samba of Blackburn who is a vast Congolese man-mountain. That gives me 2 Blackburn and 2 Newcastle defenders making me wonder whether I am stuck in a footballing mid 90s before Brian Kidd and Ruud got stuck in to spoil things. I wonder if Ian Woan is on the free agents list?
Our League Chairman has not permitted any newly bought players to be picked up yet - presumably the likes of Eduardo and Man City's first team will be available some time after Christmas.
