and that's it for this week as the whistle blows to end anther week of league games. Six weeks gone and 16 left to play...

I'm gonna curtail the usual roundup to take shelter from the storm, its pretty bad here. Have a cup of tea and get back to it later. Thanks for your enthusiasm and company. See you later.

Before the game I thought about playing more defensive but it ain't in my nature. Very happy with 3 crucial points.

Prem table fast & dirty

Watford 16
Manchester City 14
Plymouth 14
Charlton 10
Birmingham 10

Pleased with a win and a clean sheet against a star studded Ancona .... Sanchez, Bale, De Gea, Benteke and more. 

And Villa back to winning ways too to keep the playoff dream alive.

Very pleased considering couldn't watch it live. Happy to see Aguero popping up with the winner on what was always going to be a tight affair against another team playing FAS. Great to see Lyon beginning to come together as well...

I'm done.

Come to Italy Tom. Fresh start.

Getting red cards four weeks in a row is just the tip of a frustrated iceberg. Think I might need a few turns away from it all and hopefully absense will make my heart grow fond again.

Although having no asst manager won't help matters.

That's extreme bad luck Tom but your squad is big enough to cope with a few missing players, might do the side good to try out a few different faces until you find the right blend allowing for player attitude, something quite a few of you are currently ignoring.

Storm's over so i'm running the transfers & coaching etc atm.

I can't remember who it was but I had this where one of my players kept getting sent off ages ago.

I'll check it out make sure it's running as intended.

Mine was about 2/3 seasons ago and I can't remember who it was. I changed the player eventually and didn't have the issue again. My point is I think that if you get the right balance of players/attitude you can avoid it.

I'm ready to send out email turns but I noticed that the match reports arent printing the away side text in italic, so i'm looking at that now.

It's no biggie so I'm sending out the email turns now, although there may be one or two small alignment errors in some of the reports. I'll fix them for next time.

Poll ..... is it wrong to buy myself a Nerf gun for Christmas so I can fight my kids? I should add they are 7 and 6.

I don't have kids but sure, sounds like fun to me

Done. I'm no longer defenceless.

You can't beat a nerf fight! 

My thoughts exactly Matt.

Printing done all except the international order sheets, just ran out of time to convert them, but they'll be ready for next week.
