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...

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
