Week 13 Update.

Dear All,

We've just passed the Week 13 stage but the question is... was it unlucky for some?

And I'm afraid the answer is yes.

It was most unlucky for True Blue Strikers who amassed just 15 points last week and are firmly routed to the bottom of the Premier League and looking odds on to join the numpties in the Conference League next season. Manager Eilledge siad earlier in the season that he "would rather die than play in that inferior league" so let's hope he can pull something out of the hat over the next few weeks.

Week 13 was also a little unlucky for the Prince of Darkness (20) who, although remaining at the top of the league, has seen his big fat cushion diminish to just 16 points. He must have bought his sofa in DFS.

In the Conference League, the Virgin Surfers also clocked up 20 points - but that's of little interest to man or beast, unless you're name is Brother Eastwood of course.

Laughing in the face of superstition, this week's highest scorers were Premiership teams Flexy's Fairies and Minibabybelle FC with 45 points apiece. Brother Kelly moves into the top five while Sister Baber, whilst still in the relegation zone, moves to within just one point of safety, causing more than a few skidmarks on the underpants of Cherry United!!! With a 34 point gap between the Cherries and Ylneverbreathefrankie (what's with these daft Gulladuff team names... first Henry Snr, then Crudden!!!), it's already looking like three from four for the drop into the conference league.

I jest of course, it's still far too early but some fingers would need to be extracted from some orifices post haste.

The Grapes of Raff, for a change, and the Boys of Summer will both be happy this week with a 43 point tally. The Grapes are still in eighth place but well within reach of a UEFA Cup place, despite having about two transfers left for the remainder of the season.

So, at the top of the Premiership, The Prince still leads from both Harpic Amsterdam and Au Revoir Thierry14 in joint second place. Kirbs Crawlers and Flexy's Fairies occupy the UEFA Cup slots, narrowly ahead of big guns The Dogs Ballacks, Chelsea Daggers and The Grapes of Raff.

True Blue Strikers, Rafa's Goatee and Minibabybellefc are under threat of relegation but Cherry United is still offering them a potential get-out clause.

In the Conference League, early front runner Yer Ma's Athletic still leads comfortably from Gazza's Piping Hots and You'llneverwalkalone, but any of the top eight are still in with a good chance of promotion at this stage.

The lowest of the low are Muckamore Utd, Cool Dude Zoo and The Well Hungarians. Shame on you.

But my friends, there is still a huge amount of the season to play and anyone who is already resigned to their fate is nothing short of a fool.

For this year's newcomers, I feel I must point out that anything can happen....

.... and it usually does!!!

This week's transfer password is BANKS and the tel no is 0901 601 4035.


DITB ACP (Annual Christmas Piss-up)

I've had a look at potential dates for this year's ACP and it's not looking good to be honest.

The only dates that suit are Saturday December 1 and December 22. I'm already out drinking on every other available date.

So, would you all let me know if you want to go with either of these dates or should we go for a New Year session instead, as we have done in the past?

I look forward to hearing rom you all ASAP.


TIGHT B******DS!!!

It has come to my attention that there are still a number og managers who have not yet paid their DITB entry fees.

Namely...

Paul Maynes
William Cherry
Conor Nugent

There are a couple of other but I have arrangements in place with those.

So lads, it's time to fork up!!! Otheriwse you will ruin me and my family's Christmas.

That's all I have time for this week folks.

Until next week....

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