Derby Day Blues

AJ continues his run of form. It's now 4 goals in as many games, and from 5 shots on target. Kudos to everyone who stuck with him despite the derby matchup.

Speaking of form, Thierry Henry is rounding into his, even though his team ...

OOOhh... GREAT DOUBLE SAVE FROM VAN DER SAAR!!!!!!

Sorry, watching ManU/Tot. Where was I? Oh yeah...

Henry is playing his part and getting his usual ton of fantasy points, but Arsenal are still struggling. And Boro continue their one week up, one week down cycle. So sell any Boro players you have and pick them up for the following week.

Damn you Frank Lampard! Don't you practice your PKs? That miss was a 13 point swing (from 7 for the goal to -6 for the miss)! Those points would have made it worth having you in the squad over Henry.

And speaking of Chelsea, is it time to abandon the Shevchenko bandwagon? I never got behind Ballack, and so far he's proved me nothing be right. But Sheva needs to step up and be counted in the Premiership or he'll be on the outside of my team looking in too. At least when Anelka or Martins, Tevez, etc, get posted.

On the injury front, we've got bad news on Aaron Lennon, Jimmy Bullard, and J.A. Riise. Real shame for Bullard as he started the season so brightly. Will his points now go to Wayne Routledge? Imagine, you can almost replicate the Crystal Palace squad that played in the Premiership two years ago -- Johnson, Boyce, Hall, Routledge -- and you would be doing alright.

The Lennon injury really hurts Tottenham as they were already struggling ith a lack of creativity from midfield. Now they lack any crossers of the ball and have lost the one player that would run at defenders. Sooner or later they are going to have to dig out this guy...
