FPL banter with Joffers is missing from my life.

Time for a wildcard perhaps isn't it.

Kept missing weeks and free transfers. Got no money on it and don't work with anyone I'm in a league with so haven't felt the impetus this season. Still doing the Draft which I'm in a league with...

Another week missed. Where did this midweek game come from?

Not consciously. I've forgotten to transfer twice in the last 3 weeks or so and even do my subs once or twice. Life getting in the way. Find the Draft game far more conducive to my lack of...

Yaya off to the MLS perhaps.

How bad was the performance against Arsenal? Listening on the radio, Steve Claridge was saying it was the worst team he'd seen all season and he was genuinely worried for Everton's relegation...

Out for 6 weeks. Even when there's no African Cup of Nations, there's an African Cup of Nations.

I blame my wild card.

Have we finally defined what 'world class' actually means yet? Is it, 'would get into a squad of 15 for the best team in the world'?

I really don't feel that Sanchez is going to perform to any level that's remotely worth that investment. Hazard maybe? Seems that if he could click with Morata it'd be a points bonanza for both of...

Wildcarded early this year. Trying to make it interesting and saw some templates developing. Appreciate that Hazard and Sanchez aren't really back and the international break is coming but threw...

Enjoying Netflix new crime documentary series the Confession Tapes. First two episodes focused on a single story. Third episode is the beginning of a new one so I assume it'll be a number of...

Great director. Brilliant film.

Tin Star - New drama thriller set in the Canadian Rockies with Tim Roth who is somehow a Londoner that has been made the sheriff of a small Canadian town.

Thought this looked promising. Still...

A defensive midfielder yes?

If Johnny Evans stays, who gets the boot from central defence?

Very soon, we will have The Deuce, Mindhunter, Curb your Enthusiasm, and Ken Burns' The Vietnam War.

I think I described it before as if Ken Burns made a Scorcese film or Scorcese made a Ken Burns docudrama. It does not have the characterization to be a good drama and it doesn't have the detached...

The most ineffective of the top 4? Arsenal?

Most ineffective / outstandingly awful of everyone else? Newcastle, has to be. When you're transfer window may result in the best manager you could...

That should read 'effective' our of the top 4 chasers. They've bought two players that plug two areas that needed plugging and appear to be a lot better (at this early stage) as a result. That's...

Why Citeh? They've bought more than anyone. No central defenders though... ManYoo appear to have had the most...effective transfer window.

That is interesting regarding Barkley. Maybe he was concerned he'd be a rotation squad player? Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain apparently didn't fancy Chelsea for similar reasons and/or that they were buying...

Huh? Mayweather was the one with the poor odds, he was the favorite.

Regardless of what people actually thought when they laid their bets $100 on McGregor to win would've netted a significantly...

Pretty interesting. CM looked like 80% of a boxer which is remarkable in just a few months. Mayweather never looked in trouble. Was in 3rd gear until he wanted to go into 4th and McGregor was...

That was a great fucking match.

We don't mind you saying that.

Agreed. It IS an 'utter farce'.

I see a fortnight of Bale Ale in your stars.[/QUOTE]

Ha! Yes. I was in his pub last weekend. I preferred it when it was called Dempsey's and it was empty.

Yeah, that's where I am.

Fixed.

For me the only argument against that bet is Mayweather aiming to just give Mac a boxing lesson and cruise to a straightforward points win by a huge margin.

Thereby both cleaning up and giving the...

It's all about tactics.
[/QUOTE]

You'd assume having some small degree of competence in the sport of boxing might play its part too. The only 'tactics' McGregor can and will employ will be him...

Yeah, I'm not going to entertain comparisons between Muhammed Ali and a first time novice boxer. Never mind the myriad other issues with that argument.

Chucked £300 on Mayweather by KO, TKO, or disqualification. Drifted out to 1.72 since yesterday but it's still huge value. If anything, I'm not sure McGregor can move around for the full 12 rounds....

Ladbrokes Australia now paying $1.27 on Mayweather.
I would have a punt, but my gut tells me there is something shonky about the whole set up.[/QUOTE]

Know what you mean. I'd be down for...

Apparently , 'Digital channel 23 (workpoint) are showing it live on Thai TV'.

Mayweather now at 1.25. 25% ROI free money.

:rofl:

I packed the Dark Tower first book The Gunslinger in around 80% of the way through in the hope that the film might make what seemed pretty pedestrian storytelling (and I'm a fan of a good few King...

Okja - Very interesting. And good. Written and directed by Joon Ho Bong who's been making some of my favourite films for a good while.

This was more like The Host than he's been for a while. The...

Went to the match. He really has shored up that defence.

Anyone else think the budget seems a little tighter this season?

I thought Alien Covenent was one of the worst films I'd seen in a long time in relative terms. It absolutely fucks the backstory of the original (good films). Should have left well alone.

Did a draft for the new draft system last night with a load of mates. Good fun. It's a significantly different FF experience overall. A lot like the Yahoo NFL FF experiences I had prior to starting...

Camille Paglia and a few others I've read say that trans-mania / gender fluidity is a sign of cultural collapse.

Really enjoyed the Detectorists. Well written and good characters. Apparently filmed in Suffolk though I thought they all sounded west country. Maybe that's what they sound like there though. It's a...

Good find. Cheers.

I think he can be very good but very inconsistent. And he seems to be injured a lot.

Different type of player, but I think Mane is the main man in that team.

Coutinho or Dybala perhaps. Dybala's a Spanish speaking Argentine that might like to hook up with Messi. Barca fans were polled and Dybala was their favourite. Cojutinho was fourth behind Griezmann...

I'd be back in a shot were the right job available or I could do the remote working / digital nomad thing. Working on it. My girlfriend is up for living in the UK but after speaking to others, I'm...
