Double trouble

Happy New Year!  It's been a frantic week, with the powers that be intent on scheduling as many games as humanly possible over Christmas and New Year.  Never mind the players, as a fantasy football manager it's been gruelling. No time to relax and research, and there's more to come too, with another full fixture starting mid-week. This week is extra special, because Blackpool and Liverpool both have extra games to play thanks to December's big freeze (I think).


Two games, and this means lots of extra points up for grabs. These weeks, my football mentors wisely advised me at the start of the season, were "crucial".  Somehow though, in all the excitement of Christmas and New Year I have managed to completely miss this on the fixture list until today, and I am now in a mad flap and state of panic which my husband has helpfully defined as "an overreaction".  Really truly though, I should have been more prepared and had a strategy in place. I have just one lonely Liverpool player, a defender, and I'm pretty sure he is not going to go on a scoring rampage.  


I am annoyed at myself, but today was not all bad. Jamie's had a haircut and is looking lovely.  He had ultra tight trousers on today (even more so than usual) and I found it difficult not to stare at his nether region.  To make matters worse, the Thomas Cook ads kept coming on, so I also had his naked torso to contend with.  Need to find something unattractive about him soon or I will be in danger of breaching New Year's Resolution 6.


Jamie aside, I am worried. Will A bit of skirt survive this tricky gameweek?  Can I retain my number 2 position?  Can I ever be top without Drogba?  Where is Nani?  Why did Tevez miss so many?  Why didn't Bale, Van Der Vaart or Nasri get bonus points?  Why did Berbatov have to be taken off at the 59th minute?  And what ever happened to my Ryan Giggs duvet cover?


So much to ponder, and to add to all this I had an odd thought today.  What will I do when the season is over?
