I did the unthinkable!

Greetings,

It was Thursday afternoon and i was doing my usual thing of surfing the football websites looking for any piece of team news that would help me in my fantasy football title challenge when i came across a piece of news that sent my world into disarray. The word on the street was that the mighty Cese Fabregas might be rested for the game against Sunderland. "Bullshit" i hear you say, "who would do such a thing?", well they were my thoughts exactly, but after i got over the initial shock that this could be more than just a rumour i had a huge dilemma in front of me. Do i take the captains arm band off him, or more drastically, drop him altogether? Could i bring myself to do it?

"You would never drop Fabregas Sir Boom" Henry Bergkamp said to me, and he was right, im might look stupid but id like to think im not! hahaha but take the arm band from him, that was another thing. Before the weekend i was in 2nd place in the Black Ice league, 18 points behind the leader, Sir Boom needed to make a move!

Looking at my team i had several possible replacements for the Captaincy of the mighty "Highly Fabregas". With The Arsenal playing Sunderland, Robin Van Persie was an obvious choice. Manure were playing the footballing giants that are Wigan so my newest recruit, Ronaldo, looked a good bet, or even Petrov from Man City had been racking up the points of late. I was pretty sure that nobody else would be thinking about making the change i was toying with so it was either going to pay massive dividends, or if Fabregas did what he has been doing all season and chipped in with a goal or 2 it could backfire big time.

These are the decisions that can make or break a season, this is why we get paid the big bucks, this is why we become managers. It was not a decision i was taking lightly, so i put on my thinking music, Pearl Jam, sat back and contemplated.

Heading into the staff meeting i was confident that i had made the right choice, Fabregas was staying, but not as captain. Needless to say my backroom staff were in total shock. "Are you mad?", "Dont do it Sir Boom, this is madness!". This was not the worst of the news, i still had to tell them who id named as captain, so after the cries had died down and the women stopped the tears, i let them know Ronaldo got the arm band. "What? anyone but him! The man is nothing more than Manure scum", "You've lost the plot Sir Boom, we are doomed", i had to restore order.

"Right, shut it you lot, this is my team. I am the manager and what i say goes, dont think for a minute that i want this, it is just something that has to be done and if you dont like it you know where the door is. Maybe you can go and get a job at Leeds (8 wins and 1 draw nice work). I am Sir Boom and what i say goes!

In the end its results that matter.

Ronaldo 13 points, 26 as captain
Fabregas 4 points, 8 as captain

You do the math, am i a genius? Id like to think so.

Its just my opinion

Sir Boom
