Scorchio!

#NEWNOT

Headline for Newcastle - Nottingham Forest match in progress says, "Savona causing burns problems". It seems autocorrect has been mischievous with the surname of Newcastle defender Dan Burn.

I have been surprised at how high many people and model engines have been on Gyokeres apparently on the basis of performance in a different league, a good dribble at home against a slightly lost Leeds and one penalty. Gabriel Jesus must be very envious.

@jslovechild.bsky.social Re: your post in the other place, you might be interested in this feature from Nationwide back in the 70s.

I'm saying it's set in Cabot Cove...

Decided to make a defensive swap instead of getting Semenyo in for Grealish who has Palace and then can't play against Man City next week.

No pressure, Jack, but...

statto99 @statto99.bsky.social · 7d

My 2.7m rank rise off the back of Haaland TC last week has been dented to the tune of 0.9m off the back of that late Semenyo whirlwind.

#FPL giveth and FPL taketh away... 🙂

As a Semenyo non-owner I was very, very annoyed.

Also, it was simply brilliant and I must bring him in next week for Grealish.

#FPL breathes a collective gasp...

I'm bench boosting, too, but with double Forest defence, Esteve and a stray Cucurella who somehow registered as the fourth best DEF on the week.

A breakdown of the Top 25 point scorers so far this season:

GK 3
DEF 11
MID 7
FWD 4

Safe to say DEFCON is having an impact. I bet a lot of managers are only playing 3 at the back too.

Well, I didn't need the captions underneath the team photo, I'll tell you that.

One day I'll get over 5th May 1973. Today is not that day. 🙂

I did bring myself to watch it again a few years ago. It wasn't a fluke. Sunderland thoroughly deserved it on the day. A great performance.

A similar story here.

A power move by me this week to bring him in to score fewer points than Palmer sitting in the stand.
