Fantasy Football

Yeah, you’re right, Bob, on both accounts.

But, having just googled them, I see that they also produced an album that included arrangements of Dancing Queen and Waterloo(ville)!

… they’ve got even more in common with Bletch than I thought. :lou_lol:

I think many of us looked up to “St Bletch” the patron saint of fantasy football.

With all his frankly fantastical excuses he not only let himself down this season, but he’s let all Sotonians down.

Yeah, but to be fair, Cobs, I do have some sympathy for Bletch – what with all that camping and struggling with dodgy frilly shirts … erm, sorry … Wifi connections :lou_eyes_to_sky:

To be fair, in this day and age I don’t think most of us care where he “camps” whether in a frilly shirt or a frilly tent…I think Bletch is protesting too much.

Yes, it’s very out of character for Bletch to protest too much.

I wonder if the poor chap’s feeling himself? :lou_sad:

My laptop broke in July which meant pre-season research was a wash-out.

Is that excuse number 4 or 5?

With that said, it does take an impressive imagination to come up with one per gameweek.

I’ll expand upon excuse #5

So, knowing that I would be up early for yoga with Rust Cohle on Saturday morning and that our breakfast chat afterwards doesn’t see me get home until near midday, I decided I would make the time to play my wildcard on Friday evening.

This I did, and given that I’d lost a lot of money over the first 4 game weeks, I was quite pleased with the results.

You then saw that I checked the BBC website to see that there was a Friday evening game and then I realised I’d fucked another week.

However, the true scale of my fuckedness only came to light when the team I should have been fielding would have scored loads of points and should have made you look like the losers you all are.

I guess I can’t really complain because, Sanchez as captain, did get me out of jail a little bit.

I am now officially retiring unless I start to mount comeback, and then I will rename my account on here as Lazarus.
