FFL update....................finally!

As you have no doubt realised there was no FFL update last week since our esteemed Chairman took it upon himself to test our patience to the limit! His excuse was that he simply forgot! Anyway, this week while we are enduring a soggy Christmas and New Year period he is off to sunnier climes relaxing in Egypt – enjoy!

So, what has been happening FFL-wise? Well James, never let it be said that we are not rooting for you to be the FFL champion. As we have already stated numerous times on this blog you are the champion-elect. It is only a matter of time. The overly obese lady is currently on stage waiting to unleash her voice. Ladbrokes, William Hill and BetFred have suspended betting, the winning tape is currently wrapped around your neck and the trophy is currently being engraved. My FFL spreadsheet already has your name as 2006/07 winner – the only thing missing is the points total – I think you get the point.

Anyway, since I swapped Obafemi Martins for Robbie Keane my luck has certainly changed – must be some JN voodoo or something since the past two weeks have seen JN amass a table topping 29 points. In the slip stream is yours truly with a poor 19 and Nick PorkChops, who has risen quicker than a meringue, with 30. This has meant that 13 points covers the top three.

Below that Sid consolidates fourth place thanks in no small measure to Ronaldo who is responsible for 20 of his 25 points in the last fortnight!

The biggest score last week was McNick who has soared eagle-like from eighth to fifth thanks to a huge score of 31 from last week making it a total of 42 for the last two weeks – truly impressive.

Bottom and still detached is Stathi who has nearly HALF of JN’s points and whose players could only score 12 points in two weeks. Stath, you now must know how Aidy Boothrooyd feels like!

Here's the table

James	215
Mike	213
Nick Ach	202
Sid	189
Nick Ath	167
Donald	162
Theo	156
Rico	152
Steve	138
Stathi	109

NOTE: Can everyone PLEASE check their scores. While I have endeavoured to make sure the scores are correct, I cannot be sure due to the spreadsheet &*^@ing up on me last week!

No transfers to report.

Happy New Year everyone. May 2007 bring joy, happiness to everyone and of course to a particularly loathed part of West London I wish continued injuries, problems and an inability to mould the most expensively assembled squad in football history into a coherent, balanced team. In addition, may the ego that runs this team continue his attempts to create disharmony among those he has labelled and marginalised as 'untouchables.' Whatever do the touchables think? May the swelling of discontent continue unabated. Roll on 2007!
