You've literally gone mad. It's between myself, George Kaplan (I'd have preferred 'Hard Dazed Knights' but it's a minor quibble) and Shaggy's delightfully succinct 'Bristols'.

Mine's not a pun, just a clever local joke, which makes me smile. Nuff said.
Yay! I'm in. Have been lambasted by Godot, so now feel I have arrived. 
"This game is adept at making you think you are playing it but actually it is playing you. It is essentially bingo otherwise the same people would win it every year."
Can't agree with you there. Keeping an eye on who is injured/not playing well/suspended and general management of your team must pay dividends in the end, surely. Cannot be a complete lottery. 
"An example: there were 30 goals scored midweek and I got none of them."
Or see above, you are just shit at picking in form players.

Although I'm not currently opting for 2 up front.
Mahrez has missed two penalties and his best form's behind him. Gotta go, son.

I've benched him this week, so he will score heavily in the second half.
I see the usual lot are coming now, back slapping each other on the way. Have had operational probs since Nov but have ditched the BPDefiant and back in the Spit so come and get me. 
Vrooooom, blat blat blat blat wheeeeee plonk plonk plonk plonk

I think you've hot the nail on the head there Alf
Been regunned with Hispanos George, centre aligned like the aces have. And fitted with with GADAR - Godot and Don Aggro Resistance. I'm doing little stickers of their stupid faces to put on my nose.
I shouldn't complain as I'm having a good week, BUT...
I've benched Mahrez a couple of times this season and he's gone on to score an absolute monster; and naturally he stays on my bench, gently mocking me. The only week I get it right and a clearly Alzheimer'd Wenger decides to rest Ozil.

Shit - this is turning into a f**king disaster for me. 
Maybe God was right when he said it was like Bingo.

Paddy Power told me that the Mahrez stats have dropped off a lot more than Vardy's.
I remember when I thought Mahrez had gone off the boil
I dropped him & he scored a Hat trick
That was a painful mistake
Jesus, what a bad week, talk about after the Lord Mayor's Show - lowest score in the Clique of only 29; but maintained my 2nd spot in the H2H only 'cos FC MUC also lost.
Bit of schadenfreude going on maybe, and await Godot's justified knuckle rap over my previous smug post.

I don't think I'll be checking where I am in the Clique League table for a few weeks.
Oh George.
