Fantasy Premier League news: Joshua Bull reacts to winning the league

Wow, so it looks like the longest FPL season is getting even longer...

For everyone tweeting, I don't know what's going on either - I had an email from FPL this morning telling me that I've won(!), but I don't know why...

(...and to address the obvious - clearly this isn't how I would have wanted to win, and I don't know any more than the rest of you about what's happened!)
