League Update

Dear All,

Despite a fairly tight and low scoring week overall , there were still enough points on offer to see The Dogs Ballacks close the gap at the top to a single point (!!!!!!!), defending league champion Maclacticos move into the top five and former twice league champions The Prof and Gulladuff Mafia swap places in those crucial red and black zones. Would be a major surprise if one of those two managers was playing Division Two football next season.

This week's highest scorers were The Prince of Darkness and The Muppetaldinhos on 38 points apiece, closely followed by Flexie's Fairies on 36.

Praying for some extra points over Easter will be KFC Academical on 12 points, Mersey Miracles on 16 and both Hoofers and Kirbs Crawlers on 17.

As the season end draws near, it looks like we're on for one of the closest title races ever while all eyes will also be on that crucial area in the middle of the table where so many teams are scrapping for a place in next season's Premier League - even the Black Socks are making a last ditch effort for survival, moving up to 25th position.

At the minute the cut-off point is 1200 points but teams within 50 points either way must surely still be worried about their future status.

This means that the following stalwarts could be playing in the lower league next season... which in turn will make promotion all the more difficult next year. It really is time to separate the mice from the men.

Amongst the big names or long term teams at risk this season are...

TRUE BLUE STRIKERS 1250
BAZKINGINGLORY 1245
REAL GOLDFISH 1241
PRINCE OF DARKNESS 1237
BRENDYS BRUISER’S 1223
GAZZA’S PIPING HOTS 1214
THE BLUE MONKEYS 1211 Board member!!!! Former Dalkon Shield winner!!!!
THE PROF’S XI 1202 Twice league winner!!!!!
GULLADUFF MAFIA 1200 Twice league champion!!!! Defending cup champion!!!!
KIRBS CRAWLERS 1181
LETEMINLETEMOUT 1166 Former league champion!!!! Former Dalkon Shield winner!!!
GULLADUFF F.F 1151 Former cup champion!!!!
HOOFERS 1135
THE WELL HUNGARIANS 1060 Former league champion!!!!
THE MUPPETALDINHOS 1029
COOL DUDE ZOO 889

For anyone with a few transfers left, remember that this weekend we have matches on Saturday AND Monday. Might be worth checking the fixture lists to see if there are any shrewd moves to be made.

To do so, you'll need this week's password which is STAMPS.

It's all so exciting!!!!!! My advice is to stock up on clean underwear for the weeks ahead.

Good luck to all and have a Happy Easter, but before then...

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