Hey Godot. Welcome back!

What kept you so long? Been missing your late night rants. Were a highlight of season 2013-14 for me - had a epic, cathartic, Steven Berkoff flavour. (But you probably think Berkoff is a ****.)

You alright?

Hi George. I gave up posting at the end of last season. Nothing to do with Don Voyage, just I put up a lot of posts and no-one ever bothered to reply or comment on them. Then Steve and Gerry took advantage of changes in the law to get married and I thought why bother? I can get the same result by not posting and it's a lot less effort.

A few more posts like yours and I might come back, it's nice to be compared to Berkoff - I admired him once, although he's figure of fun nowadays, praising Melanie Philips and camp as curtains.

Be good to see you posting again, GT. As well as being a funny guy, used to enjoy your strong opinions on players, and your insights into the FF game itself. And I think you represented better than anyone else the high and lows of *the process*.

Thank you o wise one, but the chips are down now. Or am I panicking?

No need to panic yet, Herc. Still plenty of time. You might want to save your Bench Boost for later. Or not.

Yep. But I don't think Bench Boost is a biggie. For it to make a big difference, you'd need a something freakish, like a player who wouldn't have made your starting line-up unexpectedly bagging a huge points haul (20+), and those are fairly rare, and down to luck.

We live in hope, one day.

I'm kind of regretting that now. Talk about high maintenance...

Maybe you should consult your Muse/oracle, Strumpet, over what to do. (Any more lottery wins?)

Ah! ...........and no.

Have dropped Kompany and bought Bellerin, and put Zouma on the bench in preference for Cresswell............what do I know. >_<

Buying Bellerin seems sensible
Lukaku on the other hand!
Madness I tell you!
Cue Lukacue hattrick

You've been looking at my member.

Luke has got to come good again soon, like the rest of them and not like the crap they all played last week.

I'm going to ignore media rumours about the non-inclusion of Sanchez, Mahrez and Hangeland in their respective line-ups.. and go for a punt with a chip.

If I were Pardew, I'd play Hangeland up front for this one game.

Pigs might fly.

Come on Palace.

I'd go for a pint with a chip, if I were you.

I see Wilf's been rested, so no penalties for you today then.

Or at least until he gets subbed on.

I'm sweating on the fitness of Sturridge and Jurgen's line-up tomorrow.

An outrageous and scurrilous slight on the integrity of the player, the modern professional footballer and professional football in general.

I'm reporting you to FIFA.

I see you swapped Wan for Wijn, and captained him. Hopefully for you The Wijner Takes It All.

Blimey! ALL 8 players of mine who took the field today either scored, or got an assist/clean sheet - two are on the bench. What are the chances of that happening?
