Doh!

Think it started with the Wembley game. Which was shit AGAIN. Cutler was a bag of bollocks as per usual. Baffling play calls in the first half, no protection and a spanner in the pocket. They made the Saints defence look good FFS!!

At least I finally got to meet Mike and his bro at one of these events

Yeah it was good to finally meet you mate. It was great to see Cuttler play badly and be happy!

I hope the Rams v Cardinals game is decent because I reckon the Vikings v Browns game could be another one-sided blowout. The Browns are just horrible to watch.

What a nightmare trying to get home! The 1900, 1930, 2000 and 2100 trains all cancelled and everyone has piled onto the 2200 train. Mad rush of bodies heading for a seat...casual stroll and straight into first class

We are now sat at Peterborough as the driver who took us out of Kings Cross has "done his time" and gone home...another driver en route apparently :jpshakehead:

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Man, I feel your pain. I've spent far too much of my life stuck at that station (one of my exes lived in Lincolnshire and they basically had one rattler of a connecting service to Peterborough...cue many, many wasted hours waiting for connections that never turned up).

Hovel of a station, or at least it was around 2002/2003. Better than Coventry (where I also spent too much time, as she went to Warwick Uni), but not by much :icon_lol:

 

[Carrotdude]

Bradford still missing and now Dalvin Cook done for the year. Ugh.

Eagles fans believed to have outnumbered Chargers by up to 50/1 in LA yesterday. Fucking stupid move

Johnny consistent!

And I'm off the bottom by default. Yeah, go default!

 

[PuntsWolf]

I'll have to cling onto the hope of winning the rankings format!

 

[The Bear]

Nah still early days. A string of good scores will see you rocket up.

12 more weeks at least yet. I haven't decided if we'll carry on through any of the playoff rounds. Possibly the Wildcard and Divisional.

Glennon gets the hook in Chicago and Mitchell Trubisky's in.

I think it was always going to be the way the Bears were going to go. Have him as back up for a few games and as soon as Glennon struggled Trubisky would get the nod

 

[darlowolf64]

Agreed but they must have totally underestimated how bad Glennon was going to be. I'm sure it wasn't in the plan to have him in this early. They've picked a good game to throw him in though I guess.

Yeah...They got passed the Green Bay game and now there won't be as much pressure. I'm hoping he steps in and has a great start so he builds his confidence up as the Vikings aren't as good as they have been over the last couple of seasons

 

[The Bear]

Wk4 contest up. It wouldn't let me include Monday's games so it's just Sunday this week.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Almost forgot again and only got a team in with 30 secs to spare. Stressful.

 

[The Bear]

Lol. Don't leave it so late!

 

[The Bear]

Looks like James missed out though. He had a newborn last week tbf though so no surprise!

I always have difficulties doing it. When I click on the invite it doesn't work, and then I try just going in the website and It says I have no invites or contests. So I give up and say I'll do it another time! Which on this occasion was 5-50...

I still have trouble with the website but the app works fine for me on my iPad.
