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...

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...

    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi Teo   he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in Rast Dulwich . how much do you charge ?  
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!
