lol. I thought the same thing. He was on the right most of the time, then all of a sudden he’s on the left sideline tackling someone.

I caught that game as well. Bullard must have been bending space-time or something because he was everywhere on the field at the same time and involved in all major plays. Definitely good for fantasy managers, an excellent prediction.

I just wanted to stroll down memory lane. Let’s go back to December. Below is my post on Bullard from Dec. The now departed Stezinech questioned whether Bullard could help Fulham from relegation. After watching the Fulham game, I’m even more convinced that Bullard can do it.

On a separate matter, what a joke Fulham is. They fire Chris Coleman after a bad stretch and then fire his replacement after even a shorter bad stretch. Having said that, the new gaffer will look like a genius saving them from relegation because Jimmy Bullard is coming back. Bullard’s injury last year was the only reason they were near the drop zone. I wholly recommend Bullard as soon as he hits the field. He’s fantasy gold. And he’ll be coming back at around 6 points. A great value.

@Gentry: looks like Mido will be playing (according to tele show, the Score). Dunno how this jives with his ANC duties, is he even playing for Egypt?

Don’t count on Alves. From Middlesbrough website

Southgate was at pains to point out that despite reports that AZ Alkmaar are prepared to continue a legal fight over the transfer, Alves is now a Boro player in a deal that has been ratified by both the Dutch and English FAs.

However, it seems highly unlikely that he will play any part in Sunday’s Tyne Tees derby at St James’ Park as he is currently out of the country awaiting a visa.

Question – I’m reading that Mido could start this week. But He was on Egypt’s roster earlier in the ANC. Basically, I’ll swap Jimmy Bullard for Mido. Anyone have information on this?

No new article this week.

Ronaldo vs @TOT
Ballack vs @POR
Petrov vs ARS
Flamini vs MAC

A. Obrien vs @ RED
Sagna vs MAC

I would love to make more changes to my team, but I have the majority of my players with a big monetary gain.

However, these would be the players I would consider if you are in need of new starts for your team:

Forwards:
Alves MID vs NUF

Bubba, are you going to buy a share?

Liverpool fans trying to buy out American owners
Associated Press

LIVERPOOL, England — Liverpool’s American owners are facing a new takeover bid — from frustrated fans.

The longshot member-share scheme, set to be launched Thursday, aims to raise an estimated $1 billion to oust Tom Hicks of Dallas and George Gillett Jr. of Vail, Colo., and fund a new stadium.

UAE-based group Dubai International Capital recently failed in a renewed bid to purchase the Premier League club after losing out to Hicks and Gillett last March.

Inspired by the FC Barcelona model, the group — Share Liverpool FC — will appeal for 100,000 fans to each contribute up to $10,000.
