To go without goals?

I have a Times+ subscription coming to an end in 2 weeks time. I got it at half price in June at £10 (correction £13) a month. They sent you vouchers for the period. I gave the vouchers to a local newsagent. I used the service mainly for the newspaper* which I have been 'reading' daily for nearly 10 weeks now.

However, since the Premier League started 12 days ago I have been able to watch all the goals on video on the Times+ website. Any EPL team you like - you can watch their goals. So I have had a good view of all of Chelsea's - and more. This helped me decide to buy Diego Costa for my fantasy league team squad in the second week. I saw how nimble he was in getting to the ball. Right on my own laptop.

 Shall I continue with the subscription now that it will cost £20 (Correction £26) per month?

Ahhh! I've just found out on Times+ that Diego Costa is injured. That's it!!!!
I am going to cancel the Times+.

*there are other elements to the package

Help or Hydrangea?

Have a look at a similar point in the season 4  years ago. In 2010-11 it was also just after a World Cup.

There had been 6-0 scores  ......Week 2, 2010. Imagine the pickings for Fantasy League teams then.

Our TBG league table will be shown on this blog monthly for the current season - the first one will be after Week 3 therefore.

Meanwhile: Will Balotelli be a help or a hydrangea at Liverpool?

That funny feeling .....

At my age when you get a funny feeling then you tend to get over it in case it is anything serious. I had a funny feeling yesterday. I was in Bude. It is on the north Cornwall coast.

Today, I worked out what it was, this 'funny feeling'.

Bude is 367 miles from Stamford Bridge: even the closest Premier League ground is 189 miles away at Southampton. That's the nearest that the Chelsea team would come. (Swansea is  214 miles).

I think that is the explanation for my funny feeling. Too far from Stamford Bridge! Ironically, when I am nearer I am not eligible to buy a ticket. You have to have bought one already in order to gain points to buy a ticket. ....!

Only a handful of days to go before the season starts so you should make a start. Register and get to know where the new players are for a start on the start.

Who does Sanchez play for? Luis? Diego Costa? Courtois?

Notice that van Persie is already injured.
