Old news - Leonard Barden already scooped everyone - in the Fantasy Football thread.

Edit: I see you've already acknowledged that there.

[Nick Grey]

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

[John McKenna]

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.

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.

[John Clarke]

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

I'm told that chess is back in Coronation Street early in the new year

[JustinHorton]

You have a snout on the Street?

An ex-MCF President has been the chess adviser to Corrie for much of the last decade, and recently spent a day on set

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).

And I particularly enjoyed the "herbal bread" joke.
