CFuller Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I haven't brought a plus-one this year. I did invite my goalkeeper John Forde, but he kicked my cat, threw his gloves in my face, issued seven transfer requests in a row and then put his feet on my sofa. Still the best goalkeeper I've ever had, mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
