09/08/2023

The Fantasy Premier No-Red-xxxxx-League is up and running again. Please feel free to sign up – the code is 5x030w. I think I’m right in saying that last year’s teams have been automatically renewed.  There is only one rule, no red-shite players allowed.  Oh, and spare us some of the asinine posts from last season […]

The Saudi League

02/08/2023

I am struggling to see how the Saudi league becomes successful as it doesn’t at present have access to contest the biggest prizes in club football.
