Dear All,

Many apologies for my lack of updates recently but I’ve been on holiday – a much needed break from the pressures of the rat race and, more importantly, the DITB title race!!!

As I write, it is indeed my good self who tops the Premier League table so that holiday in the sun has obviously done me a world of good.

However, I must admit that I’m far from comfortable at the top, especially with the record-breaking Professor breathing down my neck, followed by self-made Fantasy Football millionaire Brogan.

Whilst the Grapes have opened up a cushion of 35 points over this deadly duo, we all know that a couple of hat-tricks could easily wipe that lead out, not to mention a spate of injuries that is sure to affect all but the luckiest of managers lately.

Still, better to have that cushion than not so I’m not complaining.

Outside of the Champions League places, Flexy and Gazzas Piping Hots hold on to the remaining UEFA Cup positions ahead of Minus Three FC whose miraculous recovery from the bottom of the table must surely give hope to all those involved in this year’s relegation dogfights. Indeed many would say that Brother Johnston is now an outside bet for the league title itself!!!

Probably the Best occupies seventh place (maybe that should read Probably Seventh Best???) with a 30 point gap to eighth.

At the bottom of the Premiership, Brothers Molloy and Kirby are level on points but more importantly, both are within sight of safety, with Brendy’s Bruisers looking like the surprise team to be dragged into the relegation battle.

In the Conference League, it’s looking good for the top three in the promotion race. Brothers Jenkins, Sheehy and McCabe are 50 points ahead of the chasing pack.

Meanwhile at the bottom, Con Villa and the Well Hungarians look doomed with a battle between Red Cherry Devils and Mugsy’s Barber to see who joins these two idiots.

That’s it for this week.

Until next time....

...... READ ‘EM AND WEEP!!!!!!!!
