Chose to bring in Salah instead of Ronaldo, captained him instead of Lukaku, then benched James and Rudiger

When I’m working I always forget the Friday game

Definitely the funniest outcome.

Hang on, “fantasy fix app”? Not having that

Wonder how easy it is to get toot in Como.

I mean, I’ve long since lumped it tbh.

Yeah. It feels like every week there’s another dagger in football’s festering corpse.

Is Ashley Barnes as much of a cunt off the pitch as on it? Basically, is he Roy Keane or Mark Hughes?

That one incident fucked my score this week. Got James plus Mendy and Rudiger.

I mean you can just pay us £10M a year for 15 years and it will be like a free transfer.

Choosing the right captain is half the job tbh.

Commentators being over-effusive about a team playing against 10 men, or hyper-critical about a team playing a man down.

I mean, Spurs are a suburb in London tbf .

Hojbjerg tbh.

So much guff is out there in transfer rumours that you almost never say if anyone’s actually been interested in somebody. As soon as the Grealish transfer was mooted you’ll have had agents/journos/bullshitters linking you with whoever. I’ve lost interest - now I just try to avoid it all and wait for the deadline to pass to see what’s actually happened.

I just threw a few players in a couple of weeks back and figured I’d go back in and re-assess, pick the team etc. Totally forgot about the Friday game, so I had Bruno and Kane on the bench and Obafemi as captain. Was fully expecting to score about 20 pts, but 72 feels like a miracle. My team was so shit that Bruno managed to come on as the last sub, and my vice-captain was (checks notes) the Chelsea keeper. Gonna have to pull my finger out going forward. Is Friday night a thing all season now?

Just finished work and I’m exhausted so it might just be me but…I really don’t understand that first sentence

…and IIRC Bruno is on my bench.

I’ve not seen any of this, but presumably the lap of honour was more because it was their first game and first win in the Premier League? I suspect they’d have done it if it was anyone, but a big London club is just a bonus.

In a sign of things to come, totally forgot there was a game tonight and apparently I have Obafemi as captain

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that would actually be really fucking hard.

Might bookmark this tweet to look at every time I think of going back to football.

I urge you to try it. You just need to have something to fill the void. American Football does it for me.

Also, there are tons of things you can do in London and not in any other largish city. You could go to the BFI, the British Museum, the Globe, or the Tower of London for starters.

It amazes me that Jimmy Greaves is outliving all these guys. Probably my Dad’s favourite player of all time, and despite being an alcoholic for decades he’s still going and has now been married to the same woman for 63 years. Fair play.
