    I'm alright thanks Bob, the town I live in has only had a few cases but it's a tourist town so now it's empty.

    I can imagine it has been tough there, the state has been hit hard.

    Wishing you well Bob, stay off the beach:eek:

    Doing alright here, on strict-ish stay at home State orders but at least we can go in groups of less than 5 to our New Mexico sandy beaches, waterless though they may be...have been able to get out and play in the desert a bit

    Navajo Nation here and in Arizona getting hit the hardest

    Yes, we haven't reached out peak yet and the concern is that the summer beach season will be an economic disaster. Many people make all of their income between May and September. But we do need to stay safe. I hope Congress can get some more money to businesses.

    I've been teaching my classes remotely, so I keep busy during the day.

    June at the earliest, and it depends on careful testing which seems to still be unavailable. Maryland may do better than some simply because we were able to obtain half a million test kits from S. Korea due to the Governor's wife being Korean.

    Testing is the key.

    I was surprised that the Dutch simply wiped this season away. They couldn't count the games and promote/relegate teams based on what they've played? Is that a possibility in England? I guess I'm just used to what happens in the USA when a season has been interrupted. EPL could always play the Championship Playoffs to determine the third team to be promoted.

    I had Laporte from the draft and again after his 1st injury.

    He's a good player but will he play enough, I'm sure he'll be managed quite a bit. I'll take some 65 minute appearances though if it includes 6 points.

    Agreed. Better than the 3 for Mane. I was listening to the match and did not know if Luiz was going to get the assist.

    Nice pointage today from Ings and Fernandes Lobo. I'm glad that dive was pulled up by VAR in the last minute, that was naughty.

    Roy Keane is a mentalist but makes for good TV, you can't argue though de Gea and Maguire got turned inside out for that goal.

    Yeah I love a good gone mental rant from Keane,---er...well from afar... and yeah he was spot on about that ugly given goal.

    Bruno was embarrassing on that flop he is cleaning shoes in the Clubhouse as we speak. Thankfully VAR finally did something right, saved me from having to give a goal ala Leeds back.

    Ings about the only player outside City, and Armstrong looking sharp so far, been a bit dire the footy so far but dire is better than none.

    I actually agree with this. I still haven't used mine. Guess I'd better soon. Something to consider for all rocks next year.

    We're getting close to the end gents and I fear the battle for top spot is well and truly fading for me now. It's never over until it's over but my top players (Son and Alli in particular) have struggled to keep pace with Lobo's since the restart. I feared Fernandes could be the decisive pickup back in Jan but he has definitely gone way beyond all expectations. I had Ings from the start and I let go of Mahrez, both big mistakes to get rid.

    There is a good mid table battle going on for 3rd spot. At the bottom it will be tough for Epikoinos to climb out of the relegation zone but not impossible. Enjoy the last few weeks all, it's been fun to have so many games in such quick turn around.

    I had been doing well since the restart and was feeling good about my chances ... until last gameweek. Terrible. Will need to close extremely strong.

    You have done amazingly well since January. It is so hard in a draft league to dig yourself out of the deep hole you were in at Christmas. Whether you avoid relegation or not (even at my expenseo_O), I salute you.

    Captaining Sterling (21 points) might have helped me a bit in the mid table battle for third, but we move on. There are some interesting player options for the next season who have shown themselves to be lively.

    Congrats to lobomojo for his fine season and foresight to draft two LFC defenders at the turn of rounds 1 and 2. (where are the days of a similar John Terry/Andy Cole move in the past?) Well done as the winner of both small rocks and all rocks!

    Whose ready to draft?:eek:

    I would like to extend my congratulations also on a great season lobomojo. You have proved to be a worthy nemesis for top spot and I thoroughly enjoyed the battle.

    I have already created a new spreadsheet in anticipation of next year and cleaned it up a little. I think the 20/21 game could go live quite close to the start of the season on the 12th Sept. It would seem teams progressing to the semi's or final of European competitions will have blanks in GW1/GW2.

    Thanks all it was a great year, with great people doing everything smoothly and efficiently, always refreshing. Thanks Journey for really pushing me to stay on edge always and finally get over the never a bride overall.

    Can't wait to start again.
