Update 29/10/08

Dear All,

With one match played last night, all I can say is... Ishmael Miller, I got him!!!! ;-)

A full programme tonight means that there are plenty of points up for grabs, so the scores below won't be very current this time tomorrow.

With this in mind, there's no point in conducting much of an analysis.

Suffice to say, The Blue Monkeys reign at the top didn't last long with an instant 'fill them' from Brother Shields. Now Minus Three FC takes over the mantle.

Brother Johnston has been known to be a bit of a bottler in the past so can he take the pressure that comes with being the premier league leader? We'll find out soon enough.

The Monkeys still occupy second place ahead of a man who has proven time and time again that he's a big game player... three-time champion The Professor, lurking ominously as always in third position.

True Blue Strikers are in a UEFA Cup position, along with Feeder Club MUFC and Yer Ma's Athletic, now showing some of the form that won him the Conference title last season.

KFC climbs off the bottom at the expense of Minibabybelle FC, with Gulladuff FF and Cherry United just ahead.

Probably The Best still leads the Conference, ahead of Sheer Kidology and Flexy's Fairies, ahead of the Two Barries.

And rock bottom of the league is now The Busted Sofas, behind the Fernandos and Master Eamon Eastwood's Virgin Surfers (still cracks me up!). What do you think Doctor McNally? ;-)

The Conference is still outperforming the Premiership but it;s only a matter of time before that situation is reversed. A bit like Hull City I suppose.

Finally, a lot of managerial changes have taken this place which could have an effect on your players, in terms of both team selection and form. Bear this in mind when making those crucial transfers this evening.

This week's password is the non-blinking stare king himself WILKINS.

Good luck to one and all. You'll need it in this game.

All eyes on Brother Johnston!

Until next week.........

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