Week 6 draws to a close and what a disappointing week it was. The only way you would’ve been able to get some serious points in was if you were from Liverpool and stuck either half the reds or blues of your respective city in your lineup. SickChirpse’s own J Martin and his Tourist Attraction boys bowled out with 53 points to take him within a stones throw of the top 20 but the big applause of the week has to go to William Rowe’s Keefy’s Krunchers who totalled up 59 points in a week where the average score was more like 25 points.  No change at the top from Week 5 but a couple of people are beginning to gain.

Here’s how Week 6 played out points wise:

BIG HITTERS:

For all those who took Jelavic out of their side just because he picked up a little injury last week, congratulations on not having a pot of glue what you’re doing as a manager. The Everton number 7 picked up an assist for Osman’s first before adding a brace shortly afterwards to give them a 3-1 victory against The Saints and himself a swift 15 points for the week in the process. With Wigan coming up as their next game away from home I wouldn’t be suprised if The Toffees kept up there great form and we see Jelavic and Fellani pounce again this weeked.

However, it was the red side of Liverpool that had the real pointscorers as they visited Norwich and came away with their first 3 points of the season after a 5-2 destruction of The Canaries orchestrated by the buck-tooth beauty himself, Luiz Suarez. When he is not eating an apple through a letter box and missing absolute sitters you can be sure that he’s taking some time to bang a couple of goals in the net and who would’ve bet against him to hit another hat-trick at Carrow Road as lightning struck again.  Suarez scored three great goals and notched up an assist to take his weekly points to 20 which is the same score my entire team got. Wanker.  With their next game being against Stoke Anti-Football Club at Anfield it might be time to look this gift horse in the mouth and trust in Suarez.

BIG SHITTERS

54 minutes into the game at Loftus Road and QPR trail 2-0 to West Ham when super sub Diakite comes off  the bench to replace SWP who has not really featured in the game. Within 3 minutes of his introduction Taraabt has scored a long range effort and he has the chance to press on and rescue this 6 pointer for the newly promoted Hoops. However he gets booked with his first challenge of the game at 58 minutes for unsporting behaviour, and then again in 74th minute when he is sent off – taking his points tally to minus 2 for the week and 1 for the entire season.  I feel a little bit bad for putting Diakite in the BIG SHITTERS though as it has only come out earlier this month that he might be suffering from depression – nonetheless – if you are one of the idiots with him in your team then do yourself a favour.

As for poor old poor Ruddy, what a disgruntled figure he cut at 90 minutes on the weekend after being pummuled for the previous 90 minutes by an impressive Liverpool team who were said to have had their highest ever pass completion rate in the Premiership.  Out of their 6 shots on target 5 hit the back of the net leaving Ruddy in no doubt that his one and only England call up has very likely been and gone. With a trip away to Stamford Bridge on the weekend and Chelsea lucking their way to another 4 goals in midweek I’d fancy that it might be time to invest in the Torres/Mata/Hazard connection and steer very clear of any Canary yellow for Saturday’s 3 O’Clock kick offs.

The games this weekend in the Premiership are as follows:

• Man City v Sunderland 12:45
• Chelsea v Norwich 15:00
• Swansea v Reading 15:00
• West Brom v QPR 15:00
• Wigan v Everton 15:00
• West Ham v Arsenal 17:30

Sun 7 Oct 2012 – Premier League

• Southampton v Fulham 13:30
• Liverpool v Stoke 15:00
• Tottenham v Aston Villa 15:00
• Newcastle v Man Utd 16:00

There will undoubtedly be goals galore this weekend so we wish you the best of luck catching the big boys who are still setting the pace at the top. Here’s the league after Week 6 has hit the fan:
