Just play someone injured every week. Problem solved.

If you knew the top scorer each week beforehand (ie. could always pick the perfect captain), how high do you think you’d finish? Feels like however shite your team performs, as long as you pick the right captain you’re golden.

He’s got guts though.

Oh right. For some reason thought it was 1130.

Site been updating for a while?

Full of cunts, for some reason.

just tried it for next week - looks like you can.

Well then it’s not a 10, surely?

‘Twas ever thus, tbh.

can’t decide if I’m disappointed or not

There are no guarantees, but you don’t just have money, you have a shit-load of money. I buy it. We’ve already seen Man City keep on throwing money at the wall until eventually it sticks. I’m more confident in you coming straight back up than in you getting relegated in the first place, although you’re going to have to do some serious business in Jan.

Yeah. I find it really hard to choose a defender as captain but I’m getting sorely tempted with those two.

Very happy to cheer for Sweden, Croatia and Serbia tbh.

Agreed in the main. That said, as somebody who started to drift away from football with the arrival of Abramovich, I have issues. Clearly many people are just resentful that you won this latest installment of the lottery (it’s not always blood, of course). But there are people like me who will always support club X at heart but have made the - frankly - difficult decision to say “enough”. As you say, people only need to justify their support to themselves. It’s just been interesting to see them do so publicly. The fact that it’s been such a public and contentious issue is partly due to media scrutiny but also partly because ownership of any club by an actual regime is clearly problematic. As you’ve pointed out in the past, “Support the team, not the regime” has become something of your own petard. I’ve said it before, there’s always some hypocrisy involved in being a supporter. I just think it’s worth acknowledging that just walking away actually is an option.

What time in the game was the Ben Arfa goal? Edit: Nvm just checked!

Don’t think I’ll ever tire of seeing those Yeboah goals.

…they played Arsenal.

no.

Took that hit for Son and Rudiger. Half worked.

Oh I know, just the not-captaining-Salah bit

Didn’t make that mistake twice.

Vardy in I guess.

So much depends upon getting the captain right. Went for Lukaku instead of Salah
