Shockingly, we’re late as usual. Been a busy day, we had the Europa Cup finale (Atletico Madrid 2-1 Fulham – sorry ABolte) and Cardiff won on penalties (please never ever refer to them as “pee kays” around me – I’ll smite thee into the stone age) to go to Wembley against Blackpool for a spot [...]

With eleven games for Week 7, opportunities for change in our Pick’Em table abounded. One of our top of the table Pickers could get hot and open up a gap that would be hard to close. If one of our middlers got hot, they could put some pressure on the top of the table. And [...]
