"Footling aboot"**(see end) is Scottish dialect.  It seems appropriate for a football blog and for the coming weekend of no Premier League matches to fuel our Fantasy.

There is something on this weekend called the F A Cup which Chelsea have a habit of winning in recent years but this is a footling matter compared with the Premier League and the agony and hope it brings to most of us.

Chelsea v Stoke in the FA cup is on the telly at 1530 on Sunday.

The next Gameweek is No 23 on Tuesday/Wednesday 28th/29th

Don't forget your Wildcard - if you have not already played it.

** It came to me later that the phrase is 'footering aboot' not 'footling aboot' as written above
