why I am glad I did not pick Greenwood

Post by raoul »

I had my FH lineup typed in and ready to confirm (MU, MC, Liv, Che, BHA fixtures all too good to be true), then my wife's 36 hour labour going nowhere decided to do a 27 minute final sprint.

Baby daughter at 10.42 Saturday morning. Wife not used to sprinting, so while she was dealt with by a team of 12 (never seen so many doctors appear at the tough of a button) I got to spend a couple of hours not doing FPL and cuddling a small bundle instead.

Free Hit button never pressed.

So the Greenwood + Foden one week plan never happened, but my week is going fine and the cute one has her QPR body suit on, so what is not to like.

And maybe she will want some fantasy teams next year. I'm thinking this dot will want 10 in the Sun, for example?

:wink:

Congratulations to you both, although your choice of body suit sounds like she may look like she's just escaped from prison. :lol:

And as an extra bonus you've still got a FH to play. :D

Congratulations!

Sounds pretty intense. Never a fun experience though. My last one (and I mean that both as in most recent and final!) came within 1 hour and I had to deliver her myself in our en suite. 25 July last summer... second hottest day on record.

Thanks everyone.

Even QPR managed a congratulatory win.

If they'll just let her out of the hospital I can get us home in time for the second half at Anfield...

Just as well it didn't given I would have loaded up on MC, Liv etc.

That was a FH well avoided.

Little one might become my lucky charm for season end and she has highlighted Kane (BFG as Mrs R calls him) v Bournemouth as a good pick to replace Jesus, in whom she has no faith...
