These Charming Men
via u.goal.com
A mediocre week for The OB Blog. I lost a bit of ground at the top of my private league but Bigmouth Strikes Again and I closed the gap on Nik once more, who returned from adding more letters to his surname to write a blog last week. It seems The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get Nik. Heaven Knows He's Miserable Now that he is The Boy With The Thorn In His Side. But that's enough hilarious Morrissey references because That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. Please Please Please Let You Get What You Want....some quality player picks.
Man Utd should roll Reading over very easily. Chelsea should destroy West Ham. Spurs should beat Fulham very handily. Liverpool if they're having a good day will beat Southampton. Stoke and West Brom. Low scoring and boring. Everton and City. Everton are rubbish at the moment so a boring 2-1 win for City. Villa should get beaten by QPR who look like they'll stay up. Wigan will probably start winning matches now just in time to stay up and beat Newcastle. Sunderland and Norwich could be 0-0 because neither of them are very good. Swansea V Arsenal. I don't trust Arsenal but they have everything to play for and Swansea might as well go on their holidays now.
Goalkeepers
Lloris - Good week if you have him
Mignolet - A very possible win and clean sheet. Not very cheap though.
Al-Habsi - You never know with Wigan but the price is right.
Boruc - Some people might be tempted to keep him at €1 but I wouldn't.
Defenders
Kelly - If you have him at discount(1.7) he's constantly getting above his value.
Samba - Due a goal the fat cunt
Debuchy - I dropped him last week which was stupid, keep him if you have him.
Yanga-Mbiwa - A beautiful surname at a beautiful price
Wilson - If you want but I wouldn't
Scharner - The price and match-up are good.
Midfielders
Young/Nani/Kagawa - If you're sure any of them will start.
Lampard/Oscar - If you're sure one of them will start.
Bale/Lennon - If you can't afford Bale, go for Lennon.
Coutinho - Still pretty cheap and he looks pretty good.
Sessegnon - Popular last week and at home to Norwich but nor for me.
Yaya Toure - He can always do damage. The bleeding size of him.
Sissoko - He was rubbish last week but will prob be popular again. If Ben Arfa starts I like him better.
Forwards
RVP - Not in form but home to Reading
Defoe - Definately should score this week
Ba - Against his old team
Mata/Hazard - Both could do damage here
Remy - A lot of people will keep the cunt from last week
Sturridge - A nice price now, only back from injury last week and should be better this time
Kone - Could be a decent dark-horse
