I use inverted commas there as Chris and I aren’t really discussing, we don’t really listen to eachother, we argue. I put myself firmly in the squad depth camp some weeks ago now, if not right at the start of […]

These, though, are mostly intangible, based on luck, opinion and clairvoyance. There is, however, another factor that managers should also take into account. Something more […]

FFUK THE MUSIC

It’s Sunday night, in the middle of the international break. I’m broken. I’m devoid. I’m listless. I have not an ounce of inspiration left in me. There was an option of watching the second leg of the Norway v Hungary Euro qualifier just to make me feel normal but I went for the film, John […]

Pete’s Stats Flash! GW10 Bonus points

It was a strange week for bonuses. In a week with relatively few goals, seven goalscorers earned 0 bonus points, Cahill and Barkley both scored but were in defeated sides.
