Saints sailing under a strong Brees

I always hope Saints fans use this joke “Knock knock” “Who’s there?” “Wendy” “Wendy who?” “Oh wendy Saints come marching on, oh when the Saints come marching on” but they probably don’t. It’s been a tough couple of seasons for Brees and crew competing in a very competitive NFC South,...

Fantasy football Week 13: Unlucky for some

A really mixed affair last week, but I am enjoying managing the Gents Quidditch team which seems to be doing quite well in a limited player small league. Thursday night football threw up some duffs, Eddie Lacy and Theo Riddick two players who should have been benched and not started...

Week 12 Fantasy look in

I appreciate it has been a while since the Gents have focused on Fantasy, the Gents teams have generally not fared too well and as the resident “expert”, I have actually had a rubbish run since my last post. In non-Gent leagues, one of my teams has dropped from 1st...

Fantastic week 2: Options and views

The end is nigh…Week 14 Fantasy opinion

As always I will ask rhetorically how was last week for you? It was certainly an unlucky week for me winning only one game in three leagues. Even the Armchair Athletics of the Gridiron Gentlemen league faltered, partly because I did not start Brandon LaFell and partly because I was...
