  • Arsenal v. Bayern ... time to overcome the trauma, I think. Then City in the semis, as a neutral I'd love to see it!

  • I got about 150 pts a few years back after using a bench boost during a big Double Game Week. I may have wildcarded the week before, ideally that's the thing to do, building to a big DGW. I'm not sure if we're going to get one of those this year ...
  • Watkins not looking good for the weekend, asked to be subbed off on 30 mins with heavily bandaged knee ... So we're all Free Hitting for GW29? I only have four playable players, including Watkins, so maybe three, and just one free transfer. Di…
  • Often the story isn't the story ... Altman made an art of it, people talking over others, half heard conversations, mumbled speech, ambient noise.
  • What was all that brouhaha at the end of the game between the managers and players of both teams? Well, I guess no one's second guessing Arteta now about his moves for Raya and Havertz ....

  • Maybe also means surrendering greater control of the production as a cost to getting either of them ....

  • Would love to see it upon reflection, but no way they go for either Villeneuve or Nolan if they want a "lighter" Bond. Not that they necessarily do, of course ...

  • Pretty poor GW so far ... Amazing cross from Andros Townsend for that late equalizer but neither Bournemouth nor other Luton assets have provided anything. Solanke slipped and missed his penalty then was later judged harshly to have handled th…

  • Maybe what people should do is make a simple list, say 1 to 5, of what crucially makes the Bond of the year 2024, and going forward, necessarily the same as the Bond of 1962. There's little doubt EON must be thinking about this (and have put some ef…
