I couldn't care less about the fantasy football league above ours.

Bluebirds to storm division 2 then sort out the real prima donna's in division 1...

C'mon Mick and the City.

I don't get your point.

I don't believe Barnsley will be as good of a team as last season, but I believe that to be the case for most teams this season. I happen to believe losing Wilson, Bennett & Ojo and replacing them with what we have isn't going to make us any worse, in fact I think we're a better outfit with more cover in problem areas last season. So how have I changed my mind exactly? Barnsley being worse this season doesn't automatically mean they're going to finish lower..
