No goldfish were harmed in the making of this post

OK, here's the deal. Alan and I were pulled out of the Hat of Dooooom. Then Karl got a sore throat and decided it was best not to play. So, being the generous chap I am, let Alan take his place seeing as he was on holiday the last few days and was expecting to play anyway.

I went to see Alan first thing to let him know in case he'd already checked the site (which wasn't updated with this information as I was very busy). Alan, however, had checked the site when he got back to the house from his holiday (what a trooper!) and so didn't bring his kit! Oops! My bad!

However, the dedicated Fitbawer that I am, I brought my kit just in case (I was going to the gym after work anyway so I only had in include my boots as well). So, Alan is now officially out of the Hat, but I am back in (boo), but I get to play (yeah!).

So, with all this swapping around, the teams that I had to go will have to be re-thunked. Check back later today for team news (nearer lunchtime).

UPDATE - Teams are up. They were particularly tricky to pick this week so I hope it'll be an even game. Also, I hope you've all polished your boots and has a shave, as tonight's game will be televised! Mikey Tamba will be bringing down his video camera to record the game tonight!
