It's a little old, but it's making the rounds again. And I just love this video. Enjoy!
I saw these today and I would so totally buy each one if someone were producing them.

This has been around for about 14 months. I can't believe I hadn't seen it until today. 16 minutes, but worth it. Smile!
Two years ago today my wife brought home The Dog. I think my reaction to The Dog have been well documented. But, in the spirit of generosity, and seeing how it is the Christmas season, I would like to say something nice about The Dog.
I like riding around town with the dog in the car. He sits in the passenger seat and looks out the front window.
There. That's all you're getting.

Gameweek 8 is about to begin in the English Premier League. Hopefully I will do better this week than last. I got creamed in Gameweek 7. The average score was 52 and I scored 30. I'm a little Chelsea heavy, and not only did they lose, but Petr Cech (GK) got red carded. That hurt. When your Goalkeeper has a -1 point total for the week, you know it's going to be a bad week. The other players didn't have a spectacular week either. Drogba was my best scoring player with 6 points. My current rank is 1,934,446 out of 2,052,351. (My disclaimer/rationalization is that I didn't start until GW5 so I'm already behind. But still...) I also dropped to 11th (out of 20) in my league. I had been at 5 after GW6 (which is when the league formed).
So I made one transfer for the week. I transferred out Upson, and replaced him with Dunne. I also sat Cech, since he is suspended, bringing in Foster (ManUtd) off the bench. We'll see what happens. Here's my lineup for the weekend:
My team in the ESPN Premier League didn't do well either, but it was my first Gameweek for the ESPN league, so we'll see what happens.
However.....
The Champions League and the Europa League both competed this week.
In the Champions League, I rocked. The average score was 51, and I scored 73. That shot me up to 37,587 out of 273,855. And I jumped up to 4 in my league (Galaxy Two), out of 21 teams. Having Christiano Ronaldo scoring 14 points and being my captain (doubling his points to 28) certainly helped!
My favorite stat is that for Matchweek 1 my rank was 152,678. For Matchweek 2 my rank was 11,231. I improved 141,447 places.
In the Europa League (where I have absolutely no idea who any of these players are), I scored 53 points, with 42 being the average. I rank 966/29,741. In my league I am #1 out of 7. But I'm only up by 13 points over #2.
All of this will probably change, so I am hoping for the best on the EPL front today and gloating over UCL/Europa for the next couple of weeks.
AAAAAAAAAAAAL-batross!

Pulled the plug on Shorey. Added Abdoulaye Faye from Stoke City.
AAAAAAAAL-batross!!

Not to be outdone, UEFA Champions League also has a fantasy game. I had to sign up for that too, of course.
Here's my lineup:
Goalkeeper: Cech (Chelsea)
Defender: O'Shea (Manchester United), Rolando (Porto), Gallas (Arsenal), Diakhate (Dynamo Kyiv)
Midfielder: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Fernando (Porto), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Song (Arsenal)
Forward: Messi (Barcelona), Lisandro (Lyon)
Subs:
Goalkeeper: Rensing (Bayern)
Defender: Evra (Manchester United)
Midfielder: Ghioane (Dynamo Kyiv)
Forward: Bojan Krkic (Barcelona)
This time I got in in time for Matchday 1, which starts tomorrow. I logged in today and I get a notification that Bojan Krkic is injured. Try as I might, I cannot determine if he will be out for the game on Wednesday. I know that he is out of the Spain Under-20 squad, but can't find any more information. Unfortunately anyone I want to transfer for him is significantly lower in the standings, so I don't want to make a move if he's going to be okay for this game. He's in my sub list, so I could leave him there as long as Messi and Lisandro play. I just may take the chance.
Nevermind, while I was sitting here I pulled the plug on Krkic, and replaced him with Niang (Marseille).
Again, my club name: Blue Albatross FC.
