FFL Update 19/02/07

Dear All,

The FA Cup meant that this week wasn't as free scoring as usual although some teams took advantage of this to improve their chances of league glory.

In a week where the national average score was 18, Ashburton Groove N7 tripled that by clocking up an impressive 54 points, ahead of KFC Academical (35) and harpic Amsterdam (33).

Meanwhile, it was another barren week for The Muppets with ZERO points, marginally ahead of The Prof on THREE points (!!!!) and then bazking in Glory and 5-Star who both scored the grand totoal of FOUR points.

At the top of the table, the Grapes hold on to first place with The Dogs Ballacks moving up into second at the expense of The Penalty Kings who are now under pressure from Ashburton Groove! KFC Academical is also keeping pace well while defending champ Maclacticos is on the rise again moving into seventh position.

At the bottom, The Well Hungarians edge ever closer the The Muppets as Brother Nugent desperately tries to salvage something from this terrible season. Who knows... are there enough games od does he have enough transfers left to escape relegation and aim for that coveted 20th position? As I always say, anything can happen........

............. but it most definitely won't in this case!

And in a reverse of last week's form, rising from red to black this week is Yer Ma's Athletic (21st to 20th) with (surprise surprise) Gazza'a Piping Hots going the other way (22nd to 19th).

This weekend's Carling Cup Final means once again that scores might be low for teams with Chelsea and Arsenal players. That certainly means more than a dilemma or two for many managers. Oh to transfer or not to transfer... that is the question!

Just remember... FOCUS!

That's the transfer password this week.

Good luck to one and all over the weekend.

Until next week...

READ 'EM AND WEEP!!!!!!!!!!!..........
