Week 27 is over and so are most of the 5th round FA Cup ties so we get to pretty much return to normal this week – bar the Swansea Bradford League Cup Final. I love the FA Cup but is there anything worse than having to watch ITV football highlights with adverts instead of beautiful Match Of The Day with Gary and  the boys? Due to there being less games than your average weekend the points were few and far between unless you have a silly amount of Liverpool/Chelsea players in. David Williams’ Muffin Stuffers racked up a cheeky 48 point taking them to 1102 and just two points off the top ten. Peter Jones had another good week with 50 to take his Joner to 3rd continuing his onslaught on the league – only 14 points off top now – thanks to having pretty much the Chelsea starting XI. Big props of the week go the way of Michael Magee’s Mickey T FC with 76 points to move him up to 26th – you can literally chart his trajectory and he only has good weeks if Liverpool do – hence being 26th place cos they’re fucking shit.

Sat 16 Feb 2013 – FA Cup

• Luton 0 – 3 Millwall FT
• Arsenal 0 – 1 Blackburn FT
• MK Dons 1 – 3 Barnsley FT
• Oldham 2 – 2 Everton FT

Sun 17 Feb 2013 – FA Cup

• Chelsea 4 – 0 Brentford FT

• Huddersfield 1 – 4 Wigan FT

Mon 18 Feb 2013 – FA Cup

• Man Utd 2 – 1 Reading FT

Sun 17 Feb 2013 – Premier League

• Liverpool 5 – 0 Swansea FT

We said Arsenal would score goals a plenty and boy were we wrong – what an absolute shower of shit – congrats to Blackburn for getting through to the next round. Oldham did battle hard as we thought and were going down to an expected 1-2 loss until they managed to snatch a goal at the end resulting in a replay at Goodison. Man City returned to form and for the Sergio Aguero faithful your love has been repaid as he banged in a load of points to try and help them forget about their terrible Week 26. Wigan didn’t struggle like we thought and stuck 4 past a lacklustre Huddersfield.  United beat Reading as expected but arguably the biggest upset of the weekend actually happened in the only Prem game as Swansea put out an absolutely garbage team and let Liverpool win a game at Anfield.

BIG HITTERS

A constant thorn in the side of Swansea on the weekend and the talisman for a lot of Liverpool throughout Sunday’s FA Cup Fifth Round game. The Uruguayan scored and assisted two including getting hacked down in the area and hit a total of 13 points for anyone who has him in their fantasy team. Big JT has come back with avengeance…even if it was against a third tier team. The man famed for cheating, racism and great tackle/s has come back into the Chelsea stronghold and sured them up to the extent that they kept their first clean sheet since January VS Stoke (in terms of Fantasy Football) – he also bagged Chelsea fourth in their second half drilling of Brentford. Although 11 may not seem like too much you gotta consider that he also helped out any other Chelsea backliner that you might have into their clean sheet. Big in the game. Finally, the best score in the fantasy league this week came courtesy of Manchester City’s cheeky little Argentine, Sergio Aguero. 2 goals and an assist seen him rack up 15 points and return the faith of the punters as well as take City into the next round – he will be shitting points again this weekend for sure.

BIG SHITTER

 You might be in the League Cup Final, you might be pretty high up in the league, you might be everyone in the UK’s second Prem team, but you really shouldn’t lose 5-0 to a shower of shit like Liverpool. I won’t go into too much detail but reserve team or not you should not let such a below par team make you look pathetic. Michael Laudrup will have to win the League Cup comfortably to justify what happened to his team. I just feel bad for any Swans fans that made the trip up to watch that shit.

Here’s this weekends fixtures:

Sat 23 Feb 2013 – Premier League

• Fulham v Stoke 12:45
• Arsenal v Aston Villa 15:00
• Norwich v Everton 15:00
• QPR v Man Utd 15:00
• Reading v Wigan 15:00
• West Brom v Sunderland 15:00

Sun 24 Feb 2013 – Premier League

• Man City v Chelsea 13:30
• Newcastle v Southampton 13:30

Mon 25 Feb 2013 – Premier League

• West Ham v Tottenham 20:00

Fulham will beat Stoke 1-0. It will undoubtedly be shit. Arsenal will attempt to put the embarassment of being out of the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League by attempting to claw back 4th place from their rivals Spurs by beating the worst team in the Prem – they do. Norwich get a goal but fail to beat an Everton team who grind out a draw despite the Toffees being clear favourites. QPR attempt to play the Julio Cesar is sick card again but RVP has had enough and bags a brace – UTD win. Reading remind Wigan that they cannot score 4 every week as ALF steps up to slot a pen passed Wigan to put them 5 points away from the Royals who also jump out of the drop zone. West Brom beat Sunderland. Shit game. Aguero tears Chelsea apart but cannot capitalise so the Juan Mata show takes over, draw at the Etihad. High scoring game as Newcastle are held to a draw by the Saints. West Ham’s assholes drop out and Spurs grind out a 1-2 win. Yid army.

Here’s how the league looks this week fuckers:
