But don't West Ham count pretty bubbles in the air?

At least that's I think I heard our lot sing to the Bobby Moore stand last time I was at Upton Park. Something to do with more bubbles than goals I beleive.

My internet went down for two days and has only just been fixed.

I promise I'll post in time for next weeks games

I'll let you off (again) if you want to post a selection now.

That's better

A much improved set of results by the majority of players. Three of you have got 10 or more points. Three have hit a full house - the first full house since week 1!

So well done sprout. You've won this week with a very healthy 13 points

(And well done Demon Drawer for being the only person to get anything out of the Boro v Arsenal game )

----------------

The Results:

Birmingham 0-1 Charlton (BENT)

Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland (GEREMI, Drogba)

Middlesbrough 2-1 Arsenal (YAKUBU, Maccarone, Reyes)

Newcastle 1-1 Fulham (McBRIDE)

Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool (--)

----------------

to sprout!

That's the second consecutive week in which I've only got points from two of the matches. But getting nine points from this week's two good games is some consolation.
