Terrible full-back, but when he switched inside, I think he was much better - certainly wouldn't displace Zesh Rehman or Arthur Gnohere in my nightmare team...
hard not to feel sorry for Joe this evening - jersey gone to a lad still too short to ride a rollercoaster, on a touchline 200 miles from home, clapping a deceased Rugby League player he'd probably never heard of until this week (RIP Sir Billy).
Just back one-liner report: superb display, 5 or 6 MotM performances, timing of subs genius, excellent away support (as always), slightly disappointing penmanship on the glorious Akos banner unveiled at half time.
Just to note that I have renewed this league for the forthcoming - if you participated previously you will have been auto-re-enrolled (which is a word now) - welcome back; new joiners, this is your code:
All very welcome, an Art of Football t-shirt of your choice (they've stopped doing the Stan Bowles?! You may as well have the money then...) to the winner.
Keepers who pass out generally all make a Motd howler every so often - Allison, Ederson, Martinez - it is a risk/reward call against playing higher up and moving the ball quicker, and I don't mind that at all.
Charles does though kick from hand a yard and a half out of his area! Can't remember last time I saw a ref call one, but..?!
Many thanks to CCJ for running this, apologies for fluking another win - if I really were good at this, I would not be finishing 119th in my own Fantasy League competition... (which is up and running again, all invited, sorry for the self-promoting cross-post)
I noticed that Count B's Makerfield manifesto retained the commitment to move the hand dryer in the Crown and Treaty to a more sensible position from when he ran in Uxbridge.
You rarely see that sort of consistency in politics these days.
For anyone interested in names/numbers/patches (BOWLES 10, obviously), I asked Chloe about personalisation, to which she replied:
"We’d try our best to do the printing for you before it reaches you, but it may be that this gets posted out to you blank when the other orders get sent out, and then you come into the Superstore to arrange the printing at a later date"
As I said further back, I've watched Sam a great deal over 3 seasons now - he's a great stopper and absolutely adored up here, but he distributes the ball in the same way I would a wasps nest - quick, anywhere at all, far, far away from me.
Stats: pass completion 48.3%, long ball accuracy 23.2%, which is marginally worse than a half-time round-the-pole contestant.
He's actually a pretty decent outfield player, so he can certainly kick a ball, and I'm sure some coaching would help here. A qualified 'yes' from me, given time is on his side.
Just to confirm that result, a fine victory for Lee, particularly as second-placed Frode has won in, I think, THREE previous years ( if he doesn't get a call-up for the BBC World Cup panel, I am going to stop paying my licence fee. Well, start paying and then stop again. That will learn them).
A special mention too for Nathan in third - well done to you, and indeed everyone who participated - thank you all.
For my own part, 157th is the new 16th.
Lee, if you dm me your details and choice of t-shirt, I'll get the open-top bus booked (you are welcome to the cash if you'd rather, though, of course).
Notts County win tomorrow, we're one season and a double promotion for Accrington away from starting again.
We'll do it properly this time - no admission for anyone south of Wolverhampton. Farewell Woolwich Arsenal. Au revoir Clapton Orient. We've already made a decent start getting shot of Thames Ironworks.
Final week for a desperate last push on transfers and triple captains if you still have them.
It is looking very much like a one-horse race for the title though, with Lee's Romiley R's over 60 points clear from Frode's Gluecifiers in second, thereby saving me a fortune in international postage charges.
Thanks, if I have not already said so, for so many of you taking part. It was only when I found myself trundling along in 150th that I realised we actually had 250 of us in the league. I might have to think about place prizes next season...
