And the Hello my friends and welcome to this another episode of the

Rutter World Football Podcast. My name is Josh Norris and joined as always on this Waverwire show by John

Dakeel. It is week 10. Congratulations. Are you telling me congratulations because

we're over halfway through with the season.

pat yourself in the back because you have clearly survived like this year is truly a year to be

resilient and be happy that you survived.

Don't listen to anyone else as it's an asterisk championship.

It is like the best championship you could ever win if you are competing this year.

and I've spoken about this to people in the real world,

let's put it that way.

And I don't know if I've said this on the podcast,

this year. In some ways, it feels like we have watched less football

which is absolutely true but also the topsy-turvy nature and the more blurbs on

Saturdays than ever before based on COVID lists and all these unexpected news items I think

has caught up to us in general as well.
