      Going Darlow and DCL over Verbruggen and Van Hecke paid off then! If in doubt go with the home team.

      That van Hecke mistake resulting in the DCL goal is the perfect ending to the season. Each and every decision has backfired and and been punished to the maximum while my ML leader does things like getting rid of O'Reilly before a double gameweek and taking a -12 this week for no reason while selling VVD and somehow still managing to extend their lead. Sheesh.
