Week 7 is over. The international break is over. Mark Hughes’ job at Loftus Road is pretty much over. All we are waiting for is for Week 8 to commence now.  Week 7 ended as many thought it would with both Manchester clubs and the other three big dogs of Chelsea, Spurs, and Arsenal all coming out with three points and impressive displays. West Brom continued there great run by seeing off QPR, where Wigan held Everton at bay with a sturdy performance. Stoke did not make many friends or win many plaudits for their anti-football draw away at Liverpool and Fulham continued their role as the worst away team in since San Marino. No real big moves were made last week by any of the members of the league – however there were quite a few goals scored in the Premiership as well as the SickChirpse league.

Here are all the results from last week if you want a mini-recap before Week 8 gets going:

Sat 6 Oct 2012 – Premier League

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

BIG HITTERS:

Steve-o Caulker played his third game in a Spurs shirt after returning to White Heart Lane with a glowing reference from Swansea City last year.  The 6 ft 3 power house commanded the area throughout the match and looks an absolute steal at 3.3 million in the fantasy football notching up a clean sheet and a goal for his trouble last week.  Might wanna wait ’til next week to slot him in to the back line though as Spurs face top of the league Chelsea tomorrow in the early kick off. Kolarov hasn’t featured as much as anyone with him in their fantasy team would’ve liked this year but for anyone who has stuck it out with the Serbian he rewarded your faith with a clean sheet, goal, and an assist – racking up 14 points all by himself.  He also helped Man City get their first clean sheet of the season and may even keep his place this weekend for the tough trip away to The Hawthorns.  Last but certainly not least is Southampton’s young José Fonte who popped up with two goals as the Saints held Fulham to a draw at home.  He had an excellent game and managed to get himself 10 points. The luck has got to turn around some time for Southampton who are battling week in week out but just not  getting the results – let’s hope that Upton Park will give them there first away win (or even draw) of the season.

BIG SHITTERS:

SickChirpse would like to formally apologise for recommending that you stick in this buck-toothed fool in your fantasy football team.  Week 6 seen a fresh faced and vibrant Suarez stick a cheeky three past Ruddy without even breaking a sweat but Week 7 was a whole different beast. Cue Tony Pulis and his Anti-Football alliance aka. Stoke City. Suarez was an embarrasment. He spent half t he game diving and the other half missing absolute sitters. Liverpool have now scored only 3 goals at home in a total 7 games and are still without a win in the Prem at their hallowed Anfield.  The dive that forced Pulis to demand that Suarez be banned for three games after the fixture was even worse than that time Pires booted someone then jumped on the floor.  Below is a link to Suarez doing his best impression of a baby calf being born straight out of a mama cow’s asshole:

The fixtures this weekend are as follows:

Saturday:

• Spurs vs Chelsea 12:45
• Fulham vs Aston Villa 15:00
• Liverpool vs Reading 15:00
• Man Utd vs Stoke 15:00
• Swansea vs Wigan 15:00
• West Brom vs Man City 15:00
• West Ham vs Southampton 15:00
• Norwich vs Arsenal 17:30

Sunday:

• Sunderland vs Newcastle 13:30
• QPR vs Everton 16:00

So fvck International football, The Premiership is back. Whether you trust in Suarez to rinse Reading at home, or think QPR can do the unthinkable and actually get a result vs Everton – just remember to get your transfers done asap so they count for the weekend.

The SickChirpse fantasy football league is looking like this at close of business Week 7:
