Not holding my breath for them getting through again

Which turns out to be my average over the last five (ranging 21-27). Which, to be conceited about it, probably means I could beat at least one team each week. Does this just mean some of the teams are not very good, though? Or it's easier at home? And then, just because it was there, I watched (I presume rewatched) one from October 2014. It only rang the vaguest of bells, but I presume something must have stuck since I got 32. It was a notable slaughter, 250-35, which is right down there in the Pantheon of worst ever scores. (And whilst not wishing to give anything away, I did at the end of last weeks want to just give the losing captain a hug and tell them that really, they tried and just sometimes there are days like these. I hope their teammates did that.)

I am usually getting about 15, which is ok, occasionally I get to mid 20s. I had a mare a few weeks back. 4 I was in shock for days.
