    It really was DCL's goal, right? Looked a bit weird, like it hit Bogle or something...

      Thanks guys, I always seem to pick the wrong one to bench. Well at least I started Muharemovic I guess.

        I have a habit of benching or selling players before a haul also.

        I think the reason it feels like it happens all the time is because we remember the pain. When it doesn't go wrong its less memorable.

        Same reason dropped toast always seems to land butterside down, despite it being 50/50.

      But he loves playing against Newcastle. The shots data backs it up feom previous fixtures. I get Cherki, but not Tzolis.

    I'm too lazy to add it up, but with DCL scoring I'm pretty certain my non FH team would've outscored my FH team now (if it wasn't already)
