World Mental Health Day today and this video from Norwich is really powerful.

San Marino don't tend to lose by too many goals but a loss is a cert. Northern Ireland in their last few meetings with San Marino have tended to score 2 or 3 goals (and 4 on one occasion) so under 3.5 goals at that price is good in my eyes. Lincoln are struggling for form at the moment despite being higher in the table than Burton. Burton are in great form and hopefully at 3.50 they can beat Lincoln.

8.75 double pays out £87.50 - bold.

If it’s like the earlier series I’ll probably watch, if its like Love Island where people are just after brand sponsorship then probably not

It seems to be like classic Big Brother - a mix of different people from different backgrounds rather than, like you say, people doing it for fame or brand deals. It's certainly an interesting mix of people which I'm already seeing are going to cause drama which is what makes the show what it is.

It's like they don't WANT to do well... 

Launch show was last night and then it's nightly on ITV2.

Just catching up on the launch show myself now and 'meeting' the housemates. 

RESULTS

@CaaC (John) decided to stay with Ipswich and it paid off as they beat Hull 3-0. @Bluewolf also chose correctly, earning a win with Derby. A first win for @nudge isn't enough to move them off the bottom of the table but they do have a LOT of games in hand. @Stan retains his spot as joint leader as new team Southampton beat Stoke 1-0. @Rucksackfranzose also picked up a win as he navigates the lower leagues of Germany. @londonerlilie remains with Newcastle after their impressive win over PSG.

@Storts is on the move to Grimsby after the Mariners beat his Barrow team on Tuesday night. @Lucas moves away from Swindon to join top of the table Notts County.

And here are the next round of fixtures for the weekend - good luck all!

Anyone playing much of EA FC? I've put in quite a few hours so far. Ultimate Team is still a pile of shite because of people paying to win and the unrealistic playing methods people use but enjoying Player Career and Manager Career, and I'm also doing a Premier League playthrough when I do every single game because I am a sad man.

I am in a WhatsApp group with someone that was there. The referee wanted to continue the game, but fans nearby who recognised the likelihood the fan was going to pass away did a sit down protest on the pitch until the game got paused.

The referee wouldn't allow the medics to run across the pitch either so they had to run round the edge. Seconds really do matter with problems of the heart and whilst he wouldn't have necessarily known the severity of the incident, it doesn't look good on him.

Fingers cross the Orient fan is okay

 

Just been released that he has died  

We won! Sounded like a good performance from us albeit with Barrow having the majority of the possession. We took the chances when they came to us for once and it's paid off with a 2-1 win after being 2-0 up.

The comeback is always stronger

Our form is shocking right now and we haven't won in a fair few games now. 4 losses and a draw in our last 5. Barrow are in alright form. Sadly, I see another loss for us.

WEEKEND RESULTS

Look at how much yellow there is in the right hand column - we had quite a few draws this weekend - and the majority of them have games tonight so a quick turnaround on choices is needed!

@Viva la FCB is still unbeaten with St Pauli after another win. @Rucksackfranzose had success with Vilzing, @londonerlilie won with Newcastle and @Lucas beat Grimsby with his side Swindon. Another win for Grenoble puts myself in a better position in the league too.

@Storts moves to Barrow, who face Grimsby next tonight. Top of the league @Stan loses with Leeds so moves to Southampton.

That leaves draws for @RandoEFC, @Bluewolf, @CaaC (John), @nudge, @Coma and @Tommy - some of you play tonight so if you see this in time, let me know which team you want to go forward with out of your two options.

Stan's loss and John's draw means the top of the table is tied!

So much yellow (I hate it!).

Predicting a heavy loss for us. Swindon have been scoring plenty of goals this season so far and we're struggling to find the net.

Not the heavy loss I expected but still a loss. The media and the bookies at the start of the season tipped us to do well but we really are struggling all over the pitch at the moment now that the wonder goals from Abo Eisa aren't happening whilst he's injured.

@londonerlilie moves to Newcastle!

Updated fixtures - table positions remain the same.

Owner not giving any more money to the club, they have said they're not playing any more games at Glanford Park and will play at Gainsborough - and now Gainsborough have said they weren't even aware of it. It's such a fuck up by all involved and their fans must be going through hell right now.

Arghh. Tonali got a yellow but Alvarez didn't get a goal.
