Missing football already? Same. Pulled a huge FPL Hail Mary last week… Justin Bird instantly renamed it a “Fail Mary”. 😂 Arsenal chaos, , captaincy ruined — but some cold data calls (and Haaland’s pen miss) saved my GW and closed the gap. lnkd.in/eS_aA5hs

Chalobah sent off. Course he has.

I’ve just done Villa a solid. I’ve put Roefs in goal provisionally for next game. That means they’ll probably break their duck. Maybe I’ll switch back to Henderson. West Ham aren’t much better.

How many times have you written “what a load of nonsense/rubbish/tosh/insert swear” then deleted it cos you know. You want to be professional. And if you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all. I’ll go first 100 💯 times Today.

How do I claim my mvp badge on Bluesky? Seen loads with them. No idea how claim it.

🎯🎱 What’s harder: a hole in one, a 9-dart finish, or a 147 break? We crunched the numbers to find out. The answer might surprise you 👇 🔗 lnkd.in/eqtHHcVD

I love my cricket.🏏 for the record the Blast is 100 times better than The Hundred.

I didn’t see myself traveling to a country where I’d have to use my VPN to use my Bluesky DMs. Lol, UK.

🚨 #FPL returns after the international break! I’ve hit the Wildcard button ahead of GW4 👀 Salah’s slow start, Haaland due a haul, plus my model’s top over & underperformers so far. Read the full blog 👉 www.gethynellis.com/2025/09/fpl-... #FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #GW

Nuno relieved of his duties. Big Ang bookies current favourite despite Jose being free. Cant imagine next person not lined up already. I’m sure we’ll find out soon. With Arsenal on Saturday I wonder if they’ll be in place for that game.

International Weekends should be banned. Why after 3 weeks do we need an international break - why can't they play them before the season starts!!!

Newcastle have a striker. Isak out next then.

Am I the only cricket fan that doesn’t like The Hundred? Everytime a “set” is called I’m like “one short ump. One short.” They I have to turn over.

Headlines not making great reading for United and Amorim this morning. How will this affect the team and players this weekend? United were going to be my “last one standing” pick this weekend. Made me doubt that.

Probably going to cost you £75 million given the value you have placed on Isak to get him away. Hopefully he stays though. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ollie Watkins xG across both games is 0.12 - that's slighly worrying. I was going to hold for GW3 probably still will but that's not a great figure

Just read Arteta’s comments on Saka. Looks like he’s going to be out for a bit. #FPL

Captain Haaland blanked. Here’s to a low score for GW2.

Spurs. Blimey.

Cole Palmer injured in the warm up. That’s going to ruin a few weekends for some #fpl managers.

The SQLFamily FPL Show kicks off at 4pm UK today 🎉⚽ I’ll be joined by @powerbiferrytales.bsky.social Ben Ferry (and maybe a few surprise guests) for some Friday FPL fun. @justinjbird.com 👉 Join us live: www.youtube.com/live/yrkloWa... #FPL #FantasyPremierLeague #SQLFamily

Right, so Eze to Arsenal. Do we think it’ll be completed before Saturday game with Leeds? I’ll still hold him but might end up with Beto playing if Eze is missing.

Does anyone else think the Musk/Farage spat, is just a ruse to make UK people side with Nigel? and is that part of a wider attempt for Musk to take over the world? Or is it just me? I don't normally do conspiracy theories. So it's probably nothing.

Oh good. Saka has gone off after 25 minutes. Just what I needed. Another #FPL fail coming up.

I have a confession. Until last week I’d never seen nor watched an episode of the Big Bang Theory. I’m now approaching the end of season one.
