are you sure it isn't an alpaca at an Ed Davey farm?

I didn't like the rule and site changes this season and was getting a bit stressed about it, so I tuned out after a week or two. Deleted my main account and didn't restore it until about Christmas. I'm consuming less content than I was last season, just playing fpl casually now.
Kosovo and the Chicago speech predate that
I didn't know that Trump had to give his permission for teams to play.

I thought Trump wanted immigrants from Norway (/sarcasm)
Putin could sleep with Melania and it wouldn't shake Donald's faith in him.
biggest problem is this game is going to get mercy ruled in about 2 innings
"Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat"
"Durham" in this context is the council area, which covers a a large part of NE England. This by-election was for one seat on the council. Murton is a village of about 4,000 people, so there won't have been more than about 2,000 votes cast. It's an interesting result but doesn't mean much by itself.
Twins laughably overrated, as usual
He was standing as a hard-right candidate in a constituency that hasn't elected a conservative since 1931, but who am I to say that he had little chance of winning?
