And so it goes on. With Granville bemoaning a “reasonable” 58-point Gameweek, I slip further into the mire as my team of differentials, mis-placed punts and failed opportunities continue on their relentless decline.

Slowly but surely the roles are being reversed in our weekly chat – as I recall my latest errant transfer and Granville struggles to curb his smugness: he even talks about himself in the third person.

As I desperately clutch at straws and roll out some positive thinking, my co-host halts his stream of advice to analyse the week’s rolling bandwagons and preview the weekend fixtures, whilst discussing the crunchy topics.

Join the counselling session via this link or stream the sorrow via the handy player below…

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

          Exactly. He's been full jontying me for the last 2 years, 'bout time I had a chance to rib him. I can't believe it'll last though, something will turn his season. Last season it was the boxing day tube strike.

            Yeah milk every moment of it. I thought Moses would come off for him (and me). Definitely not happening!

            I think it'll definitely be another one of those injuries that forces him to get the next bale.

        I didn't have an opportunity to watche the game :/ did he assist that Vert header or sth ?

        Hopefully he'll play, as I'd rather keep him for Hull and save my FT and decide later, maybe Wally will manage to come back by then or I'll convince myself to get Silva
