It looks like the server is not responding right now. It worked last night. ---

Hmmmm… maybe picking a spurs Right back wasn’t the bestest idea ever. Still maybe things will change when we get our new manager ---

Ah, I dumped Carr last week. Now I am actually getting some points. Not a coincidence. ---

I should be swapping players . . but I’ve lost all enthusiasm at the moment. Maybe once we get a new manager; dear oh dear . . I’ve got van Nistelrooy and Henry up front, they play each other, and not a sausage. Sums up my footballing life at the moment . . . roll on next ---

This has now concluded I do believe ? Do we all gather round and douse the joint winners in bubbly, or do we throw them into the river ? And, in the words of Sue watch-me-age-before-your-eyes Barker, what happens next ? Anyway, though I know not who you are, congrats to the September winners, ! ---

Game month 1 ends October 15. 36 points in one week - impressive, **L\_C**. ---

October 15th? I assumed it was 1st of the month to last thang (no more games until October 4th). Hey ho. Yep, ascended to mid-table mediocrity. Seems like destiny. If it’s the 15th, there’s plenty of time to get into this swapping players malarkey . . . ---

Nobody saw my mis-placed post earlier? Nope? Good. Well then… Just popping in to say… Joint top with a bullet. Eat my dust, peasants. And other words of glee uttered in haste and doubtless due to be consumed at leisure. (Joint top?? how did that happen?! I might put in for that Spurs job I hear is vacant. I’ve clearly got the knack…) ---

Well I’ve made my first transfer - bye bye Postigia from the lane (he’s 4th choice at present and won’t get a game) and hello Barlinie Dunc. I was going to go for Carlton Cole - but he seems to have something on his mind at the moment.
