    What damage could £10 really do?
    For many years, I was a member of a community which dealt with the patching, bug fixing and data updating of a PC football (soccer to avoid confusion) management game, but the best part of the site was the stories, the fairytales, the rags to riches of the underdog. I want to do something similar here, but on a topic a bit different.

    After another dismal Saturday, my online account was left with just £10. It was summed up by the already relegated Portsmouth easily brushing aside the promotion chasing Sheffield United 3-0. Looking at the account, I'm thinking 'To reload or not to reload?, that is the question...'. Seeing the remaining £10, I have a change of heart. I want to see how much damage this bad boy can do. I could crash and burn in one round, but hopefully not.

    I hope you join me on my journey of the (hopefully) rags to riches, see how far we can stretch the £10 before needing to reload. To see the impatience, the decisions, the downright crazy calls.

    Wish me luck!

    (I already played the first round of picks before posting this. I began writing before the games played but was called away to a family function at the last minute. From the results of it, you'll see the irrelevance.)

            True that. I'm going to mix it up, looking at other sports for overnight. Just happened to be football I was looking at earlier.
