Old news - Leonard Barden already scooped everyone - in the Fantasy Football thread.
Edit: I see you've already acknowledged that there.

No longer top. Something about not having Crystal Palace players John.

Thanks, Nick.
CP train just round the corner from me.
Wish I could've tried to persuade a couple to join Magnus & Freddie Ljunberg at Arsenal, but it all went south too soon. Just another broken pipe dream.

Re: Media comments on chess
There was a chess 'joke' on Monday's I'm sorry I haven't a clue . It was in Jack Dee's opening comments about 2 minutes 20 seconds into the programme.
I won't say what it was, just in case someone listens to it and actually finds it funny.

Pretty poor stuff. Maybe they should have axed the show after Humphrey Lyttelton retired.

A matter of taste, but I thought it was the best non-technical chess joke I've heard in a long time (but then I am a fan of the show, and of Jack Dee's role in it).Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 12:41 amThere was a chess 'joke' on Monday's I'm sorry I haven't a clue .

And I particularly enjoyed the "herbal bread" joke.
