Matchday 2: Playing catch up already

As previous players know, on occasion, this blog goes out without a coat on, or shoes, or one time underpants, and has to scuttle back inside for a quick costume change in the hope no-one has noticed.

Well not today - I'm standing there proud [this is taking a turn for the weird - Ed] and delivering a half-cooked post for this matchday. I've been working on call since the last post, and so my time for anything has been severely limited by the insane workload that can be generated in a week.

I've seen precisely 3 gifs of football in the last week, which is nowhere near enough for me to feel that the season has begun/write something here about the opening day.

So please, accept this page as a placeholder, and tomorrow, I'll trawl the depths of the internet to fill in all the scores/results from last week and do a proper blog post.

Finally, just a reminder for those who want to try their hand at winning some actual cash, send me your stakes either through paypal or contact me directly for other methods. Had a few so far, but the more who play, the bigger the pot.

Good luck guys, stats to follow tomorrow
