Haha! I’m exactly the same. Never get starstruck by a player - unless they played between 1990 and 1994 😂

It’s just interesting to get early impressions - not a conclusion. Think we’ll need a few seasons to see the real impact.

Ha! It was a close one Dan! Very close. Izzet was my favourite player from my favourite Leicester era. Thommo didn’t play in the O’Neill era but is probably joint first. Don’t tell him 😂

Ha! Yeah, tricky to follow I agree but the table is starting to take a bit of shape. Will be interesting how easy/hard the last two rounds are to follow on terms of what everything means.

Self contained narratives is a really great way of putting it - that’s an issue I have with it. I miss the teams playing each other home and away and the ability to respond to a defeat.

Yeah, something to be said for that but as you hint at, money means that ship has sailed sadly. Although, one extra knock out round with this new format.
