I know, but at least your out of the zone
Yeah but given how tight it is, this is going down to the last 2 games I feel. Some breathing room would be much welcome.

. Yeah but you were already ahead. You have just come back right in the midst. I was referring to the teams with me. West ham, wolves, Chelsea and pool. 3 of them won.

At the way its going its going to take 47 to 50 points to ensure you escape the relegation zone which currently stands at 37 points with 7 games to go
Yup. Incredible how tight it is. The likes of Southampton at 42 could even get dragged into it if they lose the next few.

I feel so bad, that's not even my C team, I used 2 78 rated players!
How many fecking points will it take to clear relegation!?!? :lol:

I thought 47 would do it but not sure anymore. 48-49 to be safe maybe.

Bartra MotM according to the posters on the english Barca forum. Encouraging after his poor pre-season. Whoscored gave Messi a solid 10 but you know..

I'm dreading doing my player summary.

How come Barca used one sub?
Dunno. Didn't watch the game.

Crivelli came off the bench to equalize in the 89th for Bordeaux tonight. He replaced Thelin who they bought after his performances for Malmo in the CL. For me Thelin is a one season wonder so i would not be surprised to see Crivelli playing a lot this season.

Nice win tonight against Bir......... Can't even bring myself to type the name. I couldn't handle losing to those cnuts. (No offence @Mciahel Goodman) It's just my ex-wife and all her thugs of a family are Bluenoses and from that place, I endured 18 years of it. Just sucks that everyone else in the relegation battle won too.

The amazing and undoubted best player in the whole world Bendtner scores for the second game in a row, and the young Vitinho plays a blinder again and keeps Grandad Podolski on the bench.

You beat my lad the other day though. Think it was only his first or second game in charge. He was fuming for the same reasons I said. :lol: I don't get how your keeper was only voted a 7! He made loads of saves, especially in the first half. Good game though, you nearly pulled it back at the end.

Never a good sign when my keeper is my best player :lol:. Meh my season's over, squad's on holiday. Playoffs out of reach, can't be relegated. Just losing for fun now.

How am I only 5 points off the top spot? I was down and out and 11 points behind after 3 straight defeats a few weeks ago...

Got Villa next up, so I'll probably get a spanking there...

Well, you'll be facing my E team on Thursday so i'm expecting a new record for the amount of goals I concede! :lol:
I'll take a 1-0 the way I am going atm mate. You beat a fellow relegation contender 2-0 with that team.

So a new team will definitely win the Champions Shield.

Valencia and Atletico are the only teams who have won the Champions Cup before who are still in the competition.
