... because noone wants to play with them! (Session roundup)

Tonight's FM online game started without two key players, as Shepp and Bisi either forgot we had shifted our weekly session to Monday (as a one off) or had better things to do with their time! In an effort to keep everyone informed, I've taken it upon myself to report on the evening's FM goodness...

The Championship teams started a week earlier than the mighty Reading, who were busy quaking in their boots at the thought of facing Liverpool away and then Manchester United at home in their start to the season.

Burnley 1-2 Hull
QPR 1-0 Southampton
