On your latest sentence. I’d really like it if it could, but I just think I’m too prone to fall back into the same routine. I think I’ll try to just stick to playing draft. Draft is so team dependent that there’s really no way of playing other than having a quick 2 minute look once or twice a week.

I had a great start as well tbf, I wildcarded early (GW6) as I had a few fires to put out, and I was between 15k to 150k for the majority of the season until around GW9. I could say it was the hefty drop in rank I saw after that (I think when I deleted I was down to about 500k), but I think that just gave me the nudge to do what I knew I needed to do. I’d say for the last 2 seasons I’ve watched around 10-12 hours of content a week. And not just that, Twitter in general became a bit of an addiction for me. I would literally open my phone and click on Twitter, every time I unlocked my phone. I did all the usual things… deleted Twitter, suspended my account for a bit, put a timer on it etc etc. But even after a 2/3 week break off Twitter, where I was feeling better and more refreshed, I just slipped back into old habits again within a fortnight. I thought about deleting FPL this season and starting again next season. But I think I’ll end up in the same position. I thought about keeping FPL but deleting Twitter, but I know I’ll still be obsessed with planning and watch YouTube. In the end, I just think the game is not for me, unfortunately. Addicted personality problems!

I deleted my FPL team a few weeks ago. I became a bit addicted to the whole thing. YouTube, Twitter, planning. I was sinking way too much time into it. I envy those of you that can play it and keep it casual/ limit your FPL time to an hour or less a week

Rumours around our office started last week that they’ll go from 2 days in the office to 3. We had an ‘ask me anything’ session with a manager last week where the question was asked and she said it is being considered up above (which felt like an easy get out for her). Like you, I expect a large chunk of staff will walk if they make it 3 days. I know it’s not the end of the world, considering we used to do 5 in the office, but 1- the world has changed now, and 2- the negatives of working for this place will start to seriously outweigh the positives if they make 3 office days compulsary.

Sorry to read that @Seat68

At first I thought it would ruin it that Ginger and Rocky were recast, but after 5 minutes I didn’t notice.

I enjoyed the first Chicken Run, and have it on DVD still. The kids thought it was fun. But the second one… Boy oh boy. I’d say we’ve watched it between 15-20 times since Christmas. They love it, and I’ve enjoyed it too. It feels a lot more ‘Hollywood’ than the first, better music and I’d say funnier moments too.

The new Chicken Run movie is better than the original. Fight me

I think 2 of those were butt dials. Sorry about that. The 3rd was probably your mom calling you to ask what time she was cutting your hair

The possibilities…

Would

Have we started with the childish nicknames yet? Chris Feck etc The golden era of VT, for me, was when so much creativity was on show, coming up with names like Lamebert and Lamberk. *chefs kiss*

Yesssssss it’s Macron!

I got a ‘game stick lite’ for Christmas. I saw it advertised on Facebook and various other sites that probably listen to me, thought it looked good (albeit too good to be true, so I was fully expecting it to be useless). But it’s actually pretty great. 10,000+ (well, there’s a lot, but I’m not counting!) retro games across MAME, Atari, Snes, Megadrive, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance & PS1. It’s paid for itself in nostalgia already! I’ve sunk a load of time into Micromachines 96, Theme Park, Pang 96, Metal Slug, Donkey Kong, a bunch of classics like Centipede, and a Megadrive game called ‘Zoom’ that I used to play at a family members house and don’t think I’ve seen or even thought of for maybe 25 years.

No, he just always looks like he’s on deaths door

No Alan Brazil’s in here?

I was flying high this season. 90k > 50k > 15k !! All was well. Then since about GW10 I’ve dropped nearly every week to 406k I had the captaincy on Bowen until changing it to Salah just now.

I took a -4 as I had serious Watkins FOMO, and gambled on Udogie playing. Not a good start as I’m now playing with 10 men this weekend! Mbeumo, Maddison, Archer OUT Mitoma, Adingra, Watkins IN

96 for me this week, Udogie coming off was annoying as I would have broke 100! Upto 15k overall, not that rank means much at this stage of the season

Diaby starting apparently

At those prices I’d say “sod your road, if I’m being made to pay for my section of the dirt path then I’ll build an extension right across it on both sides”

Maybe they’re killing two birds with one stone and getting sponsored by Dettol, for the payment of a few cases so they can disinfect the stadium

Ptthh looks like that lion is running away from a roast dinner. Disgrace. Lambert out

You need to visit the small heath thread mate, it’s nothing against you, it’s against blues fans. mate
