Dear All,

Not much change at the top opf the Premier league as Harpic Amsterdam continues his journey towards a first league title, ahead of Minus Three FC and ABCDE FC.

The Blue Monkeys and Diaby Does Dallas complete our top five but Making History, Maclacticos and HIT THE BAR are still in contention for Europe.

The bottom of the table is once again where all the action is...

Just two weeks after pulling himself out of the relegation zone and building a nice cushion, The Prince of Darkness is right back in the thick of it again, and this time it looks like there's no escape.

All the other teams in the bottom five are scoring well but either one could still go down. At the same time, any of them (and I include Minibabybelle) could still survive. On current form, Brother Sheehy looks down and out though.

However, there are still two league matches and a cup final to turn it around and anything can happen in two weeks!

In the Conference league, a good week sees probably The Best secure his top spot, and promotion as Conference League Champion, while Sheer Kidology has opened the door a little to give Flexys Fairies and Boys of Summer a sniff of promotion, while Bazking still hangs on by his coat-tails. The Busted Sofas' late run continues but the league might just end a week or two too soon. Who knows - if Brother Donnelly has plenty of transfers left, he could still pull a rabbit out of the hat on Cup Final day.

Assuming that Virgin Surfers and Cool Dude Zoo are already down, the third relegation place is still up for grabs and once again, it's the turn of Real Goldifsh to keep the seat warm.

Did I mention already that Brother McAvoy could become the first manager ever to be relegated in two successive seasons (I'd actually need to check that out but it sounds good!). His best chance of survival is the Dirty Dubs while Mersey Miracles might also throw him a lifeline. The Fernandos surprisingly look safe.

This week's highest scorer was The Busted Sofas (55), followed by ABCDE FC (53) and HOWRTINGS (48).

Lowest scorer was Prince of Darkness with just 16 points, followed by Mighty Con Villa (19) and Cool Dude Zoo (20).

This week's all important transfer password is BROOKING.

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

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