I don't think so, unless she has been having a go on herself. Either way, it is really starting to stink.

Spanish Bank FCv FC ElphickForJustice

Elphick were torn apart by a rampant Spanish Bank side that was well-drilled and well-balanced across the line-up. Elphick made two big mistakes for me, playing Jetro Willems as RB up against Stevan Jovetic and Aubameyang as an AM, which nullified the effect he may have had as a striker. As it was, Spanish Bank's beautiful midfield controlled the game, their wingers abused the Elphick FBs, and the partnership of Ferdinand-Vertonghen had no problems handling Bony and Torres. A huge win for Spanish Bank!

Good game but I feel E4J's line-up just didn't work, Teixeira a solid RW at LW and Aubameyang while quick at RW isn't really a RW. Willems who's a LB at RB and Asamoah who's a CM turned LWB at LB. Torres is a good signing but you need to play to his strengths. Spanish Bank's attackers, specifically their front three, really get at them. With KPB and Ramires they cause lots of problems and earn the win.

A very close game and one that bank would have hoped not to be, I don't know what it is but they seem to miss something I can't put my finger on. Bony terrorizes Rio and Elphick grab a shock win

Elphick give Bank a very good game today, Bony has a good time of it. However I feel Bank just have a little too much quality for Elphick to handle, and they sneak a close win

For me this was an easy win for Spanish Bank. Elphick had the players to have been able to competed, but their tactical set-up threw the game away. Too many players playing in the wrong position, whilst Spanish Bank were set up perfectly.

The extra man in midfield helped them dominate in the centre, Spanish Bank also have a very strong defence that held off the Elphick front 2

UC Supremazia v VFL Bassender

I thought Bassender had this game in the bag when I looked at the fixture list, but Supremazia set up shop excellently, their forward three performed very well, and Bassender created several chances but couldn't put them away with the ineffective Gomis up front. Bassender with a top striker would probably have come away from this with a point, but as it was, Supremazia's tactical supremacy gave them an unlikely victory

Two strong sides, but I like the Supremazia system and it's versatility. Luiz v Xavi is interesting and while Bender is there alongside Xavi, Luiz unsettles Xavi to stop him having an impact. The three CB's/back 5 limit the affect of Pastore/Gomis/Schurrle, and I think the Supremazia front three really get at Bassender's defence. Supremazia's front three missing Reus it should be saidictory.

Bassender have pout together a side that in my opinion is the strongest in their league. Trebs cannot be commended enough, although I'd be tempted to sell xavi.

Good win for Bassender who have become a real force under the tutor Trebs. Elmo puts together a good team, but I feel he needs another real X Factor player to make the next step

A superb example that it is not just about having the players, but down to tactics. For me, Supremazia were set-up brilliantly and completely nullified the threat of Bassender. With Gomis, they have a striker who can score goals, but on this occasion they needed someone that extra level up, who would have snapped up a half chance

The home team have a strong defence which held Bassender off well, not much else to say really

Moleicester City v Atalanta Falcons

Two great teams, but neither could get enough of an advantage to sneak the win. I think the midfield battle in this match would have been incredible to watch - I particularly liked seeing Cazorla out wide.

I'm not sure on Mole City's system, Cabaye and Yanga-Mbiwa lose out to Atalanta's midfield trio too often and while the Mole City front four causes problems for Atalanta's strong defence, the midfield and attack of Atalanta ends up too much for Mole City to handle IMO. Yanga-Mbiwa marking El Shaarawy and Lamela isn't possible and leaves him too much to do. Balotelli scores a penalty as he doesn't really do much else as the lone striker.

I can't see anything other than a draw with Atlanta banging on the door but Mole refuse to cave and pick up a valuable point.
Close game this one I think, and I can't see anything but a draw in this game. Two of the more evenly matched sides in the league

Atalanta shaded this for me. At first I couldn’t split them, but then when I looked at individual battles, Atalanta came out on top too many times to not give them the win. Two great sides though.
 
The away teams front 3 were just too powerful for the home teams defence, Mbiwa at DM, well am not so sure about that to be honest, left Cabaye a litlle exposed on his own

Seriously tight atop the Championship

Soddy not voting costs him the win and changes the picture going into the final round of games.

Fixtures and Tables pages updated for the Championship

looking forward to the live text next week

Well volunteered Cherries.

Actually, I don't normally bother with the live text, but if you are doing it, then I may make sure I'm around to follow it. #lvietexwihtcerries

Week 14
VFL Bassender v Spanish Bank FC
Atalanta Falcons v FC ElphickForJustice
Moleicester City v UC Supremazia

Moleicester vs UC is the pivot game.

A win or Falcons failing to win will likely see Nando win the title due to superior GD.

Soddy needs to win and for Nando not to to win the title.

With my slightly better GD and being ahead of goals scored, matching Russ' result should see promotion in 3rd.

Russ likely needs to better my result.

Premier League Results

Deportivo la Chorizo 1-1 Dos Cerevezas por favor
Soldado; Lukaku

No Respek 1-2 Under Brescia
Kroos; Lewandowski, Robben

The German Team 1-2 Bratwurst Mannschaft
Benteke; Reus, Mandzukic

There is a final but highly unlikely final scenario, in which Sodhat loses to Cherries, I beat Trebs and Russ turns over Nando, in which Nando, me and Russ go up.

Deportivo la Chorizo 2-1 Dos Cervezas por favor

Interesting game this, both set up pretty similar. On paper Gregers XI looks stronger, and a bit more balanced throughout. Dos are a bit suspect without Alba, and with Chorizos slightly better team I back them

No Respek 1-1 Under Brescia

Hey, a non 4-3-1-2 formation. With Azzys weakness at CB, Afro really should've considered have somebody get closer to Lewandowski as Kehl and Wilshere really give Brescia problems getting support through the middle to him. Its going to get pretty congested in that central midfield. I think Azzy's set up better but he doesn't really have the firepower to beat Afro so I'll settle for a 1-1. Zaha and Eriksen do their bit to pen the UB FBs back.

The German Team 1-1 Bratwurst Mannschaft
And these two make it 6/6 QPL teams playing basically the same system. I'll be honest, they seem like duplicates of each other, strong CBs, weak FBs, good ball players at CM, forwards cutting in off the wing and a target man. So 1-1 basically.

---------------------------------

Deportivo la Chorizo 1-1 Dos Cervezas por favor
Cervezas may have read Chorizo's line up but the home side are stronger, coupled with home advantage get a point.

No Respek 1-2 Under Brescia
I'd have gone for Fellaini/Kroos/Wilshere in a high energy midfield with Pato upfront to stretch the defense. Brescia set up well, do their thing and get the points.

The German Team 0-2 Bratwurst Mannschaft
The away side have a lot more quality throughout their side and win today. However, be consistent, is it Michu or Michuuuuuuuuuuu? Either way, one or the other please.

----------------------------

Deportivo la Chorizo v Dos Cervezas por favour
1-2
A tight game but DCPF knew exactly what DLC were going to throw at them, because of this I believe that DCPF have the upper hand and edge the game. Lukaku is on form and his hat-trick against United has earned DCpF a vote or two.

No Respek v Under Brescia
0-1
I do not like Fellani playing as the target-man. He recently stated in an interview he did not like being played as a CF for Moyes. He will win headers but is naturally a defensive minded player. I do like the look of UB and are the team to beat in the Euro Div.

The German Team v Bratwurst Mannschaft
1-2
Bratwurst are looking a very good team and tactically just pip TGT. I don’t think Podolski should be playing down the left and think that he is naturally more effective down the centre just behind the striker. Having said that Bentekkers is on form so he will pop up with a goal but it’s just not enough to get anything from this game.

------------------------------------------

Deportivo la Chorizo 1-2 Dos Cervezas por favor - Very close game Marky's bunch nick it on the counter through their wingers with Lukaku tapping home from close range

No Respek 0-3 Under Brescia - Injuries have taken a major toll on the No Respek side as Brescia show their quality all over the park taking an easy win

The German Team 0-2 Bratwurst Mannschaft - a top performance from Mannschaft take the 3 pts today with the front 4 causing all issues for the german's defense, with Benteke being marshalled by Subotic

---------------------------------------

Chorizo 1-1 por favor

feel that despite chorizo having a better line-up, favor did a great job witht he tacics and getadesreved draw

No Respek 0 - 3 Brescia

Brecsia is control Zaha is out of his deoth and is useless, brescia midfield control theagme and never give respek an eye in

German team 1 - 1 Mannshaft,
cant choose between these teams, they match each other on the pitch and a draw is a fair result.

Is this perhaps the reason someone else should do a live text, where we'll actually want to know what is going on?

Yes, it translates as "I've got a grudge against Zaha and so will ignore any ability he might have, just to show how ignorant I am and how completely I can embarrass myself in front of my fake managerial comrades"

So you know Cherries, any player in your team who I think is 'useless' is now going to cost you. Big time. Because statements like that are pure nonsense.

I never expected to get anything out of the game, but when you have people voting like this, it does make you wonder why you bother

Someone is a little harsh on Balo as the lone forward. I think he's proving to play it very well at Milan, when he isn't hauled off just after half time in every game.

Man I just realised I have an exam next tuesday. Gonna be bricking it wondering if the bank has done enough

although my fullbacks are not weak whoever put that is a joke

It was me Fan, I put that

A champiosnhip Winger vs the best LB in the prem,

ill rephrase it

Zaha gets bent over and is fraked royally up his arse!

dont know how you can say that tbh

Apart from Benteke

ALL my players can go
