Thanks

Been doing this blog for 10 years now, so would just like to thank the regulars that have kept me posting.
Most of my other blogs and websites I've done have fell by the wayside, just too much real life going on and a bit too much time spent on Social media.
So a big thanks to Biopunk, Paulo, Paul and Gibbo (and previous regulars Longy and Gobshite) 😉

Premier Predictions (Week 09)

Not sure how many players will be left after all the various injuries and Covid infections during the International break. Surprised nobody noticed there was a global pandemic on?
