Looks as if we were a bit premature with the Week 14 roundup as apparently the midweek and weekend results were all slotted into one big mashup – oh well.

Just as we predicted Michu bags a cheeky goal, Ba sets St James’ Park alight and United come back to beat Reading at the Majeski. Good weeks for both David William’s Muffin Stuffers with 95 to take them up to 13th, and for AMJ’s Dunblane Massacres rolling out 88 to take them up to 12th. It looks as if the big point haul this week came the way of Tom Sand’s Prison Break FC who hit 96 points across the week to take him 15 points behind the leader.

The results:

Sat 1 Dec 2012 – Premier League

• West Ham 3 – 1 Chelsea FT
• Arsenal 0 – 2 Swansea FT
• Fulham 0 – 3 Tottenham FT
• Liverpool 1 – 0 Southampton FT
• Man City 1 – 1 Everton FT
• QPR 1 – 1 Aston Villa FT
• West Brom 0 – 1 Stoke FT
• Reading 3 – 4 Man Utd FT

Sun 2 Dec 2012 – Premier League

Norwich 2 – 1 Sunderland FT

Mon 3 Dec 2012 – Premier League

Newcastle 3 – 0 Wigan FT

BIG HITTERS

It always feels good to predict it but especially when you’ve followed through with it and put the players in your own team. Rooney’s performance on Saturday was nothing short of a phenomenon. We said they would go behind to Reading but had no idea that they would go behind, in front, behind, and in front again. Phil Neville described Wazza on MOTD as “the most unselfish, hard-working footballer in the team” and I couldn’t agree more. Usually pitching in up and down the park would take a couple of points off Rooney’s total but with two goals and an assist he managed to notch up 17 points for the week. Rooney is now the top assister in the Prem also with seven in total. The Toon Army’s Ba also had an absolute blinder as predicted – but we did say it would be 3-0 not 3-1 so apologies on that front. With 2 goals on Monday and an assist in the midweek game he also managed a swift 17 points. The big story of the week was none other than the beloved Michu teaching Arsene Wenger that he isn’t the only man who can find a bargain as the £2 million midfielder took himself to the top of the Prem scorers list with 2 goals taking him up to 10 in 15 Prem games. 2 goals in the last minutes at the Emirates and another cheeky goal in the midweek game takes him to a glorious 19 for the week – top point scorer in the world of fantasy football.

BIG SHITTERS

0-0, 0-0, 1-3 – These are the results that Rafael Benitez has to his Chelsea management name so far. What a giant turd. In the first half away at Upton Park, Chelsea were playing like a team possessed (by Di Matteo’s previous tactics) and could have been 5-0 up were it not for some lucky defending from the Hammers. At half time one can only imagine that Benitez got the team back to his way of thinking and Chelsea came onto the pitch only for their collective asshole to drop out as Big Sam’s West Ham spanked three past them. With a huge game coming up on Saturday at the Stadium of Light Rafa won’t have long to pull his preverbial socks up as Martin O’Neill will be fighting for his life. Might wanna get your Chelsea players out while you still have the chance…

Here’s the fixtures this weekend:

Predictions:

First things first – it might be time to enlist a couple of Sunderland and Reading players in to your team as they are playing that fixture that got called off from the start of the season and double points are up for grabs – only catch is you might have to take a boot on Le Fondre. Arsenal finally get back to winning ways against a downtrodden Baggies team. Villa battle Stoke to a deserved 0-0 draw. Southampton and Reading is a goals galore derby with Gaston setting the pace with a brace. Sunderland and Chelsea grind out a Rafa 0-0. Swansea tear Norwich apart courtesy of big hitter Michu. Wigan and QPR see out a draw as the have QPR won yet twitter page keeps on increasing its fan base. Man City and Man Utd produces goals despite Vidic returning to the fold – draw. Everton capitalise on this to climb the table slightly with a close faught victory over a great Spurs team – 3-2 Fellaini and Defoe masterclass. West Ham grind out a draw against Liverpool who struggle without Suarez. Fulham beat the Toon 2-1. Reading enjoy a win away from home as La Fondre teaches the Black Cats to suck eggs.
