    When your defender gets subbed off with 60 mins gone and a clean sheet and his team go on to concede. Demel was a great man for that a couple of seasons ago.

    Joey O'Brien did it one time too and got 3 bonus. Only time it ever happened me was Diarra I think he was. Defender from Arsenal on loan at Fulham and they took him off after 83 minutes and conceded at 88.

    These ones are probably just me because I still watch very little football but:

    Knowing what a player looks like from their FPL picture even though you've never seen them play and
    Having weird/downright wrong pronunciations for player's names because you've only read their names.

    Haha, this gave me a laugh, popped into the shop after work and hadn't got my wallet. Only realised when I got to the till, emptied my pockets and had the right amount of change down to the penny.

    Nearly said "thankfully there weren't any price rises last night" to the lad behind the counter.

    You refer to players by abbreviations rather than their real names. I was talking to a Utd fan today and couldn't stop saying 'ADM' rather than Di Maria.

    When you see ManU signed Andy Kellett and think FPL Towers would be mad to price him above 4.0m

    When you hope West Brom don't sign a Norwich left back so your 3.9m cheapie might get some pitch time

    When you start training on a tuesday night at 7 but plan to park the car around the corner to get team news and make a last minute transfer. Then arrive at training a few mins late saying you were held up in work.

    Reminds me of this
    Could you not multitask?



    Also reminds me of the time, shortly after bambino #1 arrived, when I told herself I was going up to the driving range... Spent the hour in the car park beside the driving range listening to Off The Ball, too knackered to get out of the car to hit a ball but also too smart to go home to change nappies.

    Meeting a friend for dinner tomorrow (it's her birthday) and I'm trying to figure out how to get out of there to see the Arsenal teamsheet and decide on my transfer. My phone is too crap for the FPL app/using my transfers online so I might bring my laptop with me and say I have to do a work thing for a few minutes.

    I mean that's just kinda pathetic.

    Flying out of Dublin at 1pm tomorrow I do hope my roaming settings are spot on to make all the changes on time:D

    I am really worried about the possible delays tomorrow.

    Imagine being on the plane at 19:25 when friends and family are waiting for your delayed flight. And when all the team sheets are out but you have no internet access:eek:

    When you ring the official Manchester United ticket and hospitality hotline posing as an excited husband who has found out his wife is bringing him to old Trafford for the Burnley game but is concerned about the game being cancelled due to the tram strike so he can find out on the sly whether the game will go ahead decide on whether to keep ship Di Maria and the lack of any punctuation is completely intentional.

    When you've only just heard of said tram strike and sighed with relief on learning that it's been called off. Phew! Di Maria stays for me too.

    I remember the day the Yak scored 4 fondly I had taken a hit to get him in that week which made it especially sweet!

    Holy jaysus.. this just triggered my memory of the time I transferred in Marcus Bent (one of the lowest priced strikers). In that GW he went on and scored a hat trick in a 5-3 win over Blackburn.. full sure an assist was in there too! my mates still can't get over 'the luck'


    quick google search to find out that was in 2007!!
