    The competition just continues to deliver. Can you sum up the essence of this game in one snappy, witty Headline. Does Fat Sam have enough humble pie or has Rafa woken the Toon from their siesta in time. Time to find out.

    Rules as before:

    1. One entry per person.
    2. Submissions to be made by 9.30pm Tuesday 22/03/2016
    3. If more than 4 submissions then there will be an initial vote where the top 4 will then go to a second and final vote.
    4. Trevor's arbitrary decisions are final with no appeal or whining allowed.

    PS I know their are some others to catch up on and that will occur in the next few days(I've been busy!!)

    9 derbies without a win as Mags fail to beat rivals yet again.







    Edited: for precious Penfold, made it even more brutal by trimming it. <laugh>

    And how many headlines do you read that are 26 words long? And two not one sentence? The Daily Fail?

    If it's a headline for an online game then it should really be no more than 70 characters, as it is bad practice to have a web page or blog post title/headline with more than 70 characters (though that might be stretching things a little and taking the game a bit too seriously <laugh>). It's very rare for even technical research articles to have 26 word headlines though.The edited version is better <ok>

    No one sentence, the other was the headline. It was you who decided that <doh> It's either a headline, a two sentence article without a headline or a head line with a one sentence article. You decided it was the latter so edited it because you were getting precious. <ok>

    Show me another headline in any mainline newspaper with 26 words and you've won this one Bri.
