Shukes Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Points are subjective. you could have 1 point 37 games in, but if there are 18 teams with 0 points..... your safe! Fact is we weren’t in a relegation spot and there were much worse teams than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 18 teams have also played each other (max one meeting of not playing) and someone's getting some points in every match.

You have just managed to complicate this a whole lot more, at this rate we are going to have to find a mathematical equation that Stephen Hawking would struggle to work out, and the best we’ve got is Shukes with his XBox Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still do yes haha. I do domestic work so get to do it the old way mostly. Ok extensions are a bit more modern made, but kitchens, bathrooms still require some old carpentry skills. Also starting to make children’s play houses as a side. Gave up my production manager role to go back to being hands on again. Sitting in endless meetings hour after hour didn’t help my back at all. Had real trouble with it. Since I started doing physical work again I feel much better.

Finn balor Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I started this topic and as it stands I feel totally different. We get Bernard and a centre back (ideally two) I’d be really happy. Being greedy a midfielder and striker would top it all off. We could sell besic, Bolasie,Martina in this window and I reckon Morgan and maybe niasse would be an attractive option for foreign teams Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
