Yeah absolutely. And there’s always a point where you really want to say that they’d be getting a better deal in the other class but you can’t really say that out loud!

I also find it interesting how often parents ask to be with a certain teacher as they think they are better when, internally, the opposite is thought true.

Yeah him and Foden have eased the TC pain.

Lucy Daniels of the Animal Ark books is another one!

Hi Dan - did you see the Rovers goal vs Argyle last night? That will raise a smile at least!

Might ‘do a Mavericks’ and get first pick anyway….

No way mate. 5-0 start means nailed on for 6th seed at least….. 😬

He is an absolute master. The journeying aspects of Secret Commonwealth and Rose Field is done so well - every step on the journey feels so real.
Have you read ‘Daemon Voices’ - the collection of his essays/speeches? Some good explanations of how he does it in there.

My quandary over the break is whether to get rid of Romero for another Arsenal defender or not.

I mean, luckily Chelsea have about 474928161 players so they should survive.

Kept him on the WC as didn’t want Saka v Newcastle. I now know how this ends.

I feel like this is Arteta in a nutshell. Playing risk management rather than football management in big games.
A bit like Guardiola’s famous ‘overthinking’ in the biggest games.

Squeaky bum time for a while there.

Do you live in Cornwall or visiting Joe?
If you are visiting (and you don’t already know about it) check out Beerwolf in Falmouth. A pub crossed with a bookshop!

At the moment I am!

Can’t wait to captain Bruno next week.

Porro obvs. Could really have done with Guiu staying on the bench.

Yep - have Dubravka, Esteve, Porto and Guiu then coming on for Palmer…

Horrendous decision. What on earth is VAR for????

My very first draft had Kudus, Wood and Semenyo.
My team has none of them.

Yeah fair enough. I’ve got 18 mins to decide that…

Only decision I have now is Sels or Sanchez. What was your reason for Sels?

Joined!

Not sure I’m going to need to change any of these for the whole season.

Yeah I agree. But I also think the Leeds team in week 2 will be the same!

I’ve been on Gakpo & Wirtz for weeks but now moved to Saka instead of Gakpo. Going back and forth on that.

I’m with you. No Salah at all though so that’s why….

Palace from 4 I think for me…

Sels
Frimpong
Palmer
Isak
