    FTWD started off really well, but then they killed off too many characters in a short space of time and the story moved off in a different direction. I still enjoy it, but I'm not convinced that bringing Morgan in from TWD was the best idea.

    I agree with you about TWD. Great for 6 or 7 seasons then dipped a bit. Then got better when the whisperers appeared. Feels like it might be going out with a whimper rather than a bang, though.

    That would make quite the contract

    Yes I agree with you about going out on a whimper bud. I always read online that they brought Morgan in from WD to try and revive the show about after it dipped. But with that I'm in agreement with you too, I don't think it was the right move. I'm not a fan of the time jumps either. I loved Shane as a character too.
    I think Fear would have been better of staying near the beginning of the outbreak, should have tried stretching it, it was inevitable the danger would always change from zombies to humans, so keeping it suspenseful as long as possible would have been my preference, especially considering WD started with Rick coming back from a coma after the initial outbreak, if you get my meaning.

    Didn't realise it was trilogy. Think I only watched the first series.

    I remember being an outcast at school for hating that programme. Just had a quick look on YouTube. Hilarious.

    I didn't consciously decide not to go, I genuinely didn't know we were even playing until I came on here.

    Ignorance truly is bliss.

    To be fair, it didn't look like any of our players realised they were playing till about 45 minutes in.

    You could, of course, go further and state Clarke Oduor has been here for 3 years and still not realised he's a football player. 3 years and had one good game. Blimey.

    "Known for his pace, incisive footwork and his ability to both defend and attack'' Talk about being economical with the truth.

    I was at Flamborough head watching the world go by along with the seals, whales and sea birds and the tide coming in.
    Me and our lass watched the night draw in and the lighthouse shining it's beam of light out over the sea, drinking wine and farmers blonde whilst listening to the waves crashing over the rocks. Just a bit our ourtime away from it all.
    Certainly beats watching a load of crap. If i wasn't at the coast i'd have been at Penny Church.

    I've consciously decided I'm not going to any of the games in the crappa johns trophy as I don't agree with the inclusion of Prem u21s. And yes, that includes the final (not like that's going to happen).
