I'm going to Quik Fit to get some winter tyres

a few managers on a roll and a few on the slide - good to see a bit of jostling for position

can we rename this as the Sports Direct league?

simple answer - NO!

I'm propping up the league right now! Terrible start to this season! The only way is up I suppose! I haven't had a team finish out of the top 10,000 EVER, so I have a bit to go, apparently!

Only glimmer of satisfaction in a miserable season of badly timed transfers.

Yes I was surprised to see you struggling - I suppose you have to aim for mid table respectability now

Cheers for posting the table Hoppy, the top 4 get a prize this year thanks to Spooge.

Wonder who is currently in 4th

look at Binky go...reliving the glory years by the looks of things

boiling up nicely... i'm happy to be nicely positioned in the chasing bunch just now. top 2 scoring well, but too early to discount anyone from a top 4 finish i think...

now - just resist urge to do needless transfers for the next few weeks... - although for some reason i always seem to fall away over the xmas period...

A quick mid-week update seeing as though we have a 2 sets of fixtures to go at.

Points to note - Hoppy is making ground on Binky and I'm up to 3rd sneaking past Mr McDevitt. Some tidy scores my Ronny and Workie have put them in with a decent shout of challenging the established top 4.
