What a game and what a result! Whatever happens now this is the best Irons team for a long while - the more so that it is a team and not one or two starry individuals - Benrahma, Fornals, Soucek, Rice, Cresswell, Antonio, Bowen etc. A bit of striking back-up in January and I've got a feeling it could be our best ever Premier season.

On the Fantasy Football game, if a player, say a defender, doesn't play that week, FF will automatically replace them with one of subs who plays in the same area i.e another defender, or if that's not possible, change the formation and sub in a midfielder or forward if possible.


Does anyone know how they choose which player? I'd always assumed they picked the one with the most points, but this week they subbed in someone who only scored 1 point while another player who scored 11 points has been left on the bench.


I've been robbed!...

Thanks for feedback Meds, after I posted I found out about that 'highest priority' reference but couldn't find out how you 'assign priorities'. I've tried to move my subs around the subs bench but they just return to their original position. I've sent a message to their help desk so await what they have to say...
Enjoyed listening to the match tonight on Five Live. It felt old school rather than streaming, watching in the pub etc. Hadn't realised they had got rid of the away goals rule. Not sure why apart from the increased likelihood of extra time and more advertising revenue. Some things were dsft -golden and silver goals and needed to go

Quite! Don't know where to start with Utd at the moment, Rangnick wasn't wrong when he said the squad needs life-saving surgery. As it stands we need...


A goalie to replace Henderson.


Another centre-back, preferably left-footed, and a right full-back (Wan Bissaka probably back to Palace on loan)


In what was already a lacklustre/weak midfield, 4 of the most experienced have left, so they need replacing and at least one other.


A right-winger.


A back-up striker, can't rely on Ronaldo to play every game and/or be injury free.


So that's 10 players minimum.


We're already over half-way for the period between ETH being named manager and the start of the new season, and still no concrete news of any new signings. Fergie and Gill always tried to do their transfer business before the pre-season tour so Fergie could work with the new players.


Just have to hope that there's lots going on behind the scenes and new players will arrive soon...

Okay i've set up a league (I think!) and this is the link:


https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/0bcr11


That last bit is the code to join - 0bcr11


If anyone wants to join try this and let me know if it works as this is the first time I've tried to set one up and the site has changed layout somewhat.

Time for some pre-season musings/predictions.


Hard to see beyond the top two again, they were 18pts clear of Chelsea, the same distance that Chelsea were clear of West Ham in 7th. That's a big gap to close no matter how well clubs below them have done in the transfer window.


But...this is going to be a very unusual season in that we have a World Cup smack bang in the middle of the season, an unknown factor which could lead to injuries, fatigue etc. But could it also benefit key players that aren't going such as Salah?


I thought City didn't look as flowing or cohesive as normal with Haaland up front, he'll score goals for sure but I don't think City are going to blow away everyone else on the strength of just his signing. Nunez however looks a better fit into LFC's system.


With the WC I think it will be important to get off to a good start and I therefore think this will favour....due to club allegiances I'm forbidden from saying anything more.


Spurs could be the closest challengers, only 3pts behind CFC and have bought well. Arsenal have also bought well and had a very good pre-season, but I'll go with Spurs 3rd and CFC 4th.


Utd will play better (not difficult) but will need this season to adapt to ETH's system and get the players he wants...I'm currently in Barcelona attempting to kidnap De Jong.


West Ham will concentrate on and win the Europa Conference League...

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
