This is amazing - I was bottom last week, and now I've shot up to 12 - with my sights on the 11th spot.

I must be taking some of YBR's pills.

Remind me when the database of games starts from, will ya? I feel it may have a bearing on my team selection for next season. I've only 'scored' in one of the last five games fer Chrissakes. And I lost that one too. Any chance of some...earlier games at all? Just one or two? You know, games that might have had players like, ooh, I dunno...Srnicek, Bez, Albert, Peacock, Watson, Ginola, Sellars, Beardo and Clark in them? At all? And when am I due to play Borussia in the six-pointer from hell?! ;@)

Well I did my best, but six hours gardening took it`s toll - all credit to PLU. Have to stiffen my resolve now though to keep in front of the young pretender! Getting a bit too close for comfort up there in the playoff zone! (:o)

If we can't even beat Howdon Harriers I may as well resign.

Nothing decided yet? Your maths module needs replacing Softie!

PLU are promoted.... guranteed at least 2nd place!

6:0, 6:0, 6:0. The chants are still ringing around the town. Have we peaked too late, or can a last minute surge take us to the top. Watch out Backworth, be coming up fast from behind..as it were.

Geordie, you are quite right and I wish to apologize to the manager, players and fans of PLU for this oversight.

[Mental Note to self: must rig the League to sh*t on Geordie if he signs up for next season:-)]

Softie... that should have read:

I think ther's a lesson there for all football managers. Don't move house in the middle of the season. I've been off line for four games and when I return, we've lost 4 games and scored one goal. Bah.

Still at least my house is nive :)
