Give credit where credit is due.

One of the fantasy players Sir John considers over-rated had a magnificent goal today.
Gareth Barry's rocket shot in the upper right hand corner of the onion bag was a thing of beauty. Another member of Sir John's over-rated players, James Milner was strong for City.
The Bolton-Man City match was clearly the best game so far for Week 2. Aguero was outstanding and could easily have notched four goals. David Silva is silky smooth.
Man of the Match had to be Dzeko. He and Aguero and Silva work beautifully together.

Give credit to Bolton. At the 53-minute mark they looked spent, but came back to make a game of it. Chris Eagles is a good pick up and Martin Petrov played well.

As for Fulham, good grief, what a pathetic offense. Clint Dempsey, normally in the thick of things, was a member of footie anonymous today.

ESPN's Fantasy Game people corrected most of the points today; however, Taarabt who played the entire game is listed as playing zero minutes and so far is credited with only one point for his clean sheet.

Finally, although Sir John had a lousy fantasy week, he gives thanks for not having to listen to announcer Martin Tyler in any of the televised games this weekend.

Yours faithfully,
Sir John
