Top scorers with 7 points each, SpursDisciple, humanbeingincroydon, BinghamSpur, audrey.s.thackeray, Patsbighands*. First 2 are still in place but a queue is forming in 3rd place. A few points here and there can dramatically move you up or down this close league. One player failed to predict. A 2 week gap until the next league game but in between there are two, possibly season defining, games in the cups.

UNITED COYS
So we got some of the new blood we needed. Shame we couldn’t put in a decent performance for ninety minutes, but it was a bit encouraging to have managed two brief ten-minute spells! The new blood looked good, and seemed to have settled in very quickly. We could put out an eleven now whose ages would show a total of just over 200 years! (Maybe we might try that to give the tired “oldies” a break!) On Sunday we meet a team as inconsistent and disappointing to their supporters as we are. They have tried a change of manager (which some of our fans are baying for). How has that strategy worked, then? I’m grateful to the Mommas and Poppas for providing the musical source this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-aK6JnyFmk Ange is still around! (Ange is still around) So is Archie Gray!

(Sorry, PNP, I just spotted your identical prediction! I promise you I was not copying yours! But, since your predicting skills are clearly well superior to mine, I do hope that similarity might help me at least move to within catching distance of our Organising Benefactor from North of the Border!)
