Missing football already? Same.
Pulled a huge FPL Hail Mary last week… Justin Bird instantly renamed it a “Fail Mary”. 😂
Arsenal chaos, , captaincy ruined — but some cold data calls (and Haaland’s pen miss) saved my GW and closed the gap.

Chalobah sent off. Course he has.

I’ve just done Villa a solid. I’ve put Roefs in goal provisionally for next game. That means they’ll probably break their duck.

Maybe I’ll switch back to Henderson. West Ham aren’t much better.

How many times have you written “what a load of nonsense/rubbish/tosh/insert swear” then deleted it cos you know. You want to be professional. And if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all.

I’ll go first

How do I claim my mvp badge on Bluesky? Seen loads with them. No idea how claim it.

🎯🎱 What’s harder: a hole in one, a 9-dart finish, or a 147 break?

We crunched the numbers to find out. The answer might surprise you 👇

I didn’t see myself traveling to a country where I’d have to use my VPN to use my Bluesky DMs.

Lol, UK.

Nuno relieved of his duties.

Big Ang bookies current favourite despite Jose being free.

Cant imagine next person not lined up already.

I’m sure we’ll find out soon. With Arsenal on Saturday I wonder if they’ll be in place for that game.

International Weekends should be banned. Why after 3 weeks do we need an international break - why can't they play them before the season starts!!!

Newcastle have a striker. Isak out next then.

Am I the only cricket fan that doesn’t like The Hundred? Everytime a “set” is called I’m like “one short ump. One short.” They I have to turn over.

Headlines not making great reading for United and Amorim this morning. How will this affect the team and players this weekend?

United were going to be my “last one standing” pick this weekend. Made me doubt that.
