When your newborn clutches your finger for the first time

Basically in one week you can replace a £10 stake with a £25 one. Doesn't have to be this week. Would be well advised for you to have not used it on the weekend just gone

Congratulations.

Yep, great night so far and top heavy weight boxing wins over any football match

If any are interested, a bit of a season so far review & thoughts on upcoming January transfer window: It has exceeded my expectations so far. Diaby maybe slightly off the boil, but him, Pau & even now Tielemans, are contributing. I'm not sure we're at a stage of looking for a final piece to the jigsaw, and more kind of looking to fill out the squad, with young, high potential. Or just off the very elite bracket. Unai does seem to like the CB's at FB. We have seen Konsa there at RB. If Mings had not been injured, we may have seen Pau at LB-CB. We have only used Lenglet in Europe & cups so far. We hope to have plenty of such games in the 2nd half of the season, so I do hope Barca allow the loan to continue & that Lenglet himself is onboard with that role. It has felt a point of concern to me to have only Cash as proper RB & Digne & Moreno both 30s, as 2 LBs. Chambers has fallen off the radar as a RB & DM. Douglas Luiz & Kamara play very precise roles, where Kamara often drops back & Dougie is quite integral in the passing build up play. While both McGinn & Tielemans are playing hybrid midfield-attack sort of roles. Almost where we would use Ramsey & once fit (in Feb?) Buendia. So, it doesn't feel we have CM's to rotate. Dendoncker is a quality drop at DM. Chambers seems to have lost his chance there. And up top, Watkins with Diaby, or Bailey, is emerging as the choice. Duran often appearing from the bench. Personally, I would ideally like to see a young, high potential RB. Happy to take Chambers spot on the bench. Longer to middle term, 1 of Digne or Moreno switched out for someone similar on the left. I think we need a DM happy to be supporting Dougie & Kamara. And a further attacking player, who could start with Bailey, when it isn't Watkins & Diaby, etc. Duran often still the sub, whichever start. So, yes, for me, it's not crazy £'s on 1 monster signing. It's shrewd, intelligent, clever squad building. 3 January signings would be my hope. A young RB, ok to maybe start as Cash backup. A DM happy to support Dougie & Kamara. A forward ok arriving as Watkins backup. And probably next summer, an age reduction at LB. And what chances there are at that time to bring in starting 11 upgrades. Depending where we finish. If anyone is tempted away. etc.

Had a pretty good weekend personally. Put a dent in one car, tampered with another and broke someone's washing machine.

Well this year has been quite something. My wife and I recently lost our 3rd baby during pregnancy, and had to give birth to our child at 22 weeks. Funeral is next week. I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for Mafia Wars this year sadly.
