I had first pick. I picked the Dream Team. They dreamt all the way through 60 minutes. Whilst we slept the whites scored 5 goals and we got one. It might actually have been more than 5 - I'd stopped counting. This exactly reverses the quality of the play and the artistry of the build up. At least four of the whites goals were rebounds, lucky bounces or straight up own goals. If it could go wrong it did.

I now have substantially more sympathy for David Moyes -he thinks he's picking a Dream Team every week and they are shit too. It's tough being a manager when your team belie their reputations and form so graphically. Am I bitter - you bet!

See you in the return leg Phil. I'm going to reverse my picking strategy and plump straight for all our worst players just to see if we lose more embarrassingly. If I pick you don't take it in the wrong context. It might imply your a shit player, (and I fully qualify to be picked in this team on merit - or is it lack of merit?) but it also proves I think you're a born winner!
