Dear All,
Another week bites the dust and the scores on the doors in this ACP week are as follows...
The Grapes hold on to their lead at the top but just about, under serious pressure from The Dogs Ballacks.
In third place The Penalty Kings are similarly holding out from Ashburton Groove N7.
Yes, we have a real Liverpool v Arsenal scenario going on at the top of the table with a bit of a gap opening up to KFC Academical, now representing Scum Man Utd in fifth place.
This week's top scorers are the aforementioned Ballacks on 69, followed by the Groovers on 62 and the steadily improving Harpic Amsterdam on 59.
Feeling as happy with their score as Glenn Roeder this morning is The Prince of Darkness whose 27 points place him in 13th position, now closer to the red zone than the top of the table, a position he occupied no less than one month ago. The Virgin Surfers (31) and Gulladuff Mafia (32) will aslo be feeling sick as a parrot today.
At the bottom of the table, the three teams in the relegation zone really have a lot to do to escape, let alone make a late bid for Premiership football this season.
Speaking of which, it's time to check out the movers and shakers in the black and red zones this week.
Black to Red: 5-Star moves back into the drop zone from 19th to 21st position. He's been hovering there for most of the season and his fate might just go the wire.
Red to Black: Gulladuff FF becomes the only one of the Gulladuff contingent to sample life in the Black Zone. The other two are former league champions and could be playing Division Two football next season.
Gazza Mac Watch: I am pleased to report that Gazza's Piping Hots drop two places this week from 23rd to 25th place so my bet is still looking good.
Finally my friends, the ACP takes place this Saturday at The Botanic Inn. Can you please drop me a quick note to say if you can make it or not so we know who to expect.
Also, if you are attending, would you prefer to kcik off before or after the Liverpool v Chelsea match which kicks off at 12.45 (we would need to be down early to get good seats).
This week's transfer password is BOTTLE - something you need a lot of if you're to do well in this league.
Until next week...
READ 'EM AND WEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........

PS: Good to see that the DITB League jumped from 1132rd position to 781st in the league of super leagues. We've been poor this season in comparison to previous years but hopefully we can make a late run in the second half of the season.
