I'm sticking around here for the "and find out" phase of this πŸΏπŸ™ƒ

Half a dozen (league) games in and he's had an attacking return every other game.

Keeping with the halves theme, current return rate and overall performance would probably be worth the buy option if it was half what it is, so he needs to kick-on a bit thru the business end of the season.

Have a read about the "truck system" (sometimes known as the Tommy system) from around the time of industrial revolution to see how similar schemes went.

TLDR: Not so great for the workers concerned πŸ™ƒ

On demographics, if a writer starts out aiming at, say, their own age of thirty something's are any of them still aiming at age thirty something's twenty years later? Or does the demographic target age along with the writer?

It would be viable (though not sure if legal due to electricity grid workings) to bulk buy and offer to sell to workers cheaply IF the workers chose them after comparing prices.

The fact they don't do this (or lobby to be allowed to) pretty much confirms my point above ⏫

It would be financially sound for big businesses but for their workers...ummm...not so much!

Corporations are legally bound to maximise shareholder value so one way or another you can 110% guarantee they would rip the workers off, as they've always done.

When in England (where I've lived for 30 years) I get told I've got a strong Scottish accent.

When I go back to Scotland I get told I've picked up an English accent.

Can't fucking win! πŸ™„

The only unfortunate thing is that too many of them won't actually vote, whereas all the old gammons absolutely will 😠

#3 - this is done to make sure people can't just go in and quickly pick up the things they need, in the hope they'll impulse buy, so FU on that one

4 - serves you right for #3. What's good for the πŸͺΏ

We've spent years with strikers scoring lots of goals apart from in the big games. Chermiti is doing the polar opposite of that.

Absolutely worth holding for another season before cashing in - if we can sort our shit out against low blocks he could put up some huge numbers, in which case KERCHING!

Just done the same.

Needed to get rid of a couple before gw31 anyway and figured it was a good time to potentially steal a march on my ML rivals.

Argentina had a president who needed to distract from his own many issues and failings.

So no relevance at all to contemporary events... πŸ™ƒ

Team with Jaoa Pedro say on the bench ready to seriously punish me like the fool i am

Team with Jaoa Pedro say on the bench ready to seriously punish me like the fool i am

Here's where in at. Tarks & KDH out for VVD and Adli.

Have seen everyone talking about pretty much every Bournemouth attacking asset apart from Adli so wondering whether I'm an utter fool or an absolute genius* for bringing him in πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Mboomo as differential captain

*my money is on the former πŸ™ƒ

You don't have one plugged in to the landline?

I'd be put of plugging in if they actually worked as a "real" phone ring would probably scare the living daylights out of me, but if they don't work...

Any reasons he's a must own?

I mean, everyone could be talking about him because he shags sheep - is there a footballing reason for it? πŸ™ƒ

Ouch!

On the bright side, those Semenyo DC points will have hit like the first puff on a joint following a 12 hour shift watching toddlers πŸ™ƒ

Depends what else I'm doing with my team really. Tarks might be a route to funds, KDH likely to go if I move to 3-5-2.

Given that I haven't even thought about GW28 yet, never mind GW29, anything is still possible πŸ™ƒ

Tarks and KDH - brought them in when I was getting rid of my BB in GW26 - they performed as expected and are top of my hit list for transfers next week.

Hold on!

When you say the 2 penalty takers, do you mean as in you have an Everton player...and it feels good???

I've got two Everton players and it feels anything but πŸ™ƒ

That's how I'm currently seeing my team.

Feels like the old template is dying and WC now might mean being at the birth of the new one 🐣

I had to look up who Taty was.

Also looked at his fixtures, and noted he plays for West Ham.

TBH I'm just not seeing a conundrum here πŸ™ƒ

FPL Free Palestine looking better now it no longer has GyΓΆkeres stinking out the front line

FPL Free Palestine looking better now it no longer has GyΓΆkeres stinking out the front line

A new challenge for GW27 - try to keep my shiny new top 500k which took a lot of work to finally achieve!

GyΓΆkeres slung out for Thiago as fast as possible - a DGW punt which flopped. Can't see anything else worth a hit but Bournemouth on my radar.

JP the troll captained so low expectations πŸ™ƒ
