Dear All,
 
Since I went on holiday, Minus Three FC have put their foot well and truly on the gas and opened up a lead of almost 30 points at the top of the Premier League.
 
It's way too early to be thinking of league titles at this stage but I'm sure Brother Johnston has envisaged picking up his first league trophy many times.  
 
We all know that winning that first title is extremely difficult (believe me winning a second title is just as hard!). If you cast your minds back to last season, there were lots of teams taking turns at the top, all looking for that elusive first league win - but every last one of them bottled it as The Professor and the Grapes came up on the rails to take the top two places. Not a good omen for a team with a reputation for bottling it, like Minus Three FC.  
 
Anyone in any doubt about this should have a word with Brother Shields who was 'romping it' earlier in the season. Or indeed the Prince of Darkness, who still hasn't recovered from last season's fall from grace.
 
Wily campaigner ABCDE FC lurks dangerously in second place, ahead of Harpic Amsterdam, Feeder Club MUFC and Maclacticos.
 
Speaking of Brother Shields, the Blue Monkeys were top scorers in the Prem this week with 62 points and are now back in contention for a top ten finish, at the expense of the Grapes!!!
 
Other scorers of note were Maclacticos with 50 and Cherry Utd with 48 (bad news for the relegation candidates!).
 
Don't think any scores were particularly bad enough to slag off this week but what the hell... hanging their heads in relative shame this week are Yer Ma's Athletic (32), True Blue Strikers (33) and Brendys Bruisers (33).
 
Not sure what's happening in the Conference this week.
 
Until next week then...
 
 
........... READ 'EM AND WEEP!!!!!!!!
