Don't worry Dan, nobody got many this week! In fact, it's the worst week of the season, and the lowest weekly total since I've been running this thing! Well done Keyser who managed a massive 8 points.

No fixtures next weekend as it's an international break.

OD i think mine should read 7 points & not 4 .

Well spotted. That's the bit I have to type by hand, so mistakes are always possible! However, the points tally is automatically calculated, so 104 is correct. Apologies.

VACANCY

If any non-participating folk do pop into this forum, and think "I could do better that those numpties", then we have a vacancy following m3sye's "parting company by mutual consent" (we didn't sack him!)

It's a bit like the Crystal Palace job, in that you'll be up against it to avoid one of the relegation spots - you'll inherit 28th place, 2 points off the bottom and 48 points from the top.....

First come first served..... or if not, we'll carry on with 31.

Fine by me, welcome RobbieKB. The "rules" are published on page 4 of this thread and you can see how scores have to be posted from the above. Best of luck. Which club do you support btw?

Oh, and Robbie and Brabus, my spreadsheet relies on an alphabetical sort each week, so for the immediate future your name in the table may be displayed differently (RobbieKB will need to begin with "A" and BrabusMog with "M") until I can find the time and develop the expertise to put it right!

Please, nobody else drop out!
