Better late then never. In truth, there’s nothing comfortable about this one. We had some nightmarish technical issues that had me tearing at my receding hairline tonight but, we got it done. Just.

The route of the problem was a change of scenery, as Granville and I resorted to staying on home territory to record this latest episode. There was a chance it would end in tears; it almost did.

It is, at least, a bumper episode, with just over 45 minutes of myself and Granville grumbling amidst the regulars on Wednesday evening. With his three point lead at the top of our mini-league, the fact is I couldn’t bear to face my Mancunian rival to discuss the merits of an early wildcards versus points hits, lament the demise of Carlos Tevez and chat about Granville’s night attire.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I don't think he'll get too many FPL points yet. Young players tend to look good without the end product, which comes later. I think if he carries on though it won't be long before he ends up going to one of the big clubs.

            That's the issue, we do drop quite deep to assist them but they're a bit headless at times. Really really good football players, like their control is undoubtedly better then mine or the other forward. They won't pass the ball at all though and it's becoming quite a problem, not only going forward but also for the defenders.

              I was the most unselfish player on our team. I never touched the ball.

          See I actually run an awful lot and find it a fairly demanding position but I know others don't see it as a tough position so I don't argue it any more.

      I think you can Captain him against most but when they play the top 5 there may be better options that particular week

        Maybe, though I think that advice, for RVP, is wrong.

        Nonetheless, no worries. It's Tottenham ... well out of the top 5.

      Paying 13 odd million for a player you don't trust with the armband at home is silly.

      I will c him and vc Jelly or Johnson.
