Lukey the Czech for 8/24/07

August 24 - 2007

Rob Styles didn’t just cost Liverpool 2 points, he kept Lukey from a profitable weekend.  And from what I know about Czech immigrants, they don’t take it lightly when you stand in the way of their American dream.  Beware of any strychnine laced Czechvar, Robbie.

Lukey now sits $17.49 in the hole (based on $5 and $10 mythical wagers).  Let’s see if he can’t survive this week’s officiating to crawl back out.

Lock of the Week:

I’m focusing on decisions, not results. Last week, two awful referee calls followed by two obnoxious goalkeeping mistakes lost me a couple of games. Fair enough, but obviously impossible to predict.  And so we move forward.

Let me begin by saying I HATE Jens Lehman. This idiot is too busy yelling at opposing forwards, feigning being fouled, and generally getting on my nerves with his behavior to keep balls out of his net. Fortunately he’s injured and I won’t have to watch the turd play this weekend. But, I willbe watching my beloved Arsenal dismantle the league leaders.  Although I predicted Man City to win last week’s derby, they were only fortunate to come out winners. This week they won’t be so lucky as they get a nice stuffing of Cesc Fabregas up their arrrrssssseeesssssssss. Gunners take down team Sven…2-0!
