Dear All,

With just three league games (for most teams) and the FA Cup Final to go, it's looking mighty good for league leader Harpic Amsterdam.

All those years of crying have eventually paid off for Brother Molloy who is surely now set to add his name to the illustrious list of DITB winners with a 51 point lead over Minus Three FC.

But the really exciting action this year is in the relegation zone where the teams at the bottom have suddenly woken up and remarkably given themselves a lifeline.

Even Minibabybellefc is now only 36 points from safety, while the Prince has been dragged back into the dogfight.

Looking at the bottom of the league, there are now six teams who could still face the drop this season. Squeaky bum time or what!

The Conference League is all but over too with probably The Best looking a sure bet to finish ahead of Sheer Kidology, themselves making an imediate return to the Premiership.

Flexys Fairies are favourites to clinch that third promotion spot with a 20 point cushion but Boys of Summer and Bazkinginglory still have a shout. A very late run from The Busted Sofas leaves Brother Donnelly 59 points off promotion but it looks like the season will end just too early for him.

The battle is still on to see who will join the Virgin Surfers and Cool Dude Zoo in relegation to Division Three.

Brother McAvoy's form at the bottom of the table has been up and down like the proverbial hoor's drawers (well more down than up to be honest) but he has bought himself a momentary reprieve this week. However, he sits just four points clear of the Dirty Dubs in the battle for Conference League safety (those words just don't seem to go togtehr at all!).

The Mersey Miracles are still in trouble too, while The Fernandos should really have a big enough cushion to avoid the drop this season (for a change).

But really folks, we all know what's so great about this game and football in general. Everything I've just written could turn out to be rubbish.

Expect the unexpected my friends. Anything can happen and it usually does.

Just ask the Chelsea supporters amongst us.

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