Not much has changed since the last update - in fact the top 6 and bottom 2 are identical.

Robot's lead looks unassailable at the top (although he is down to his last 3 transfers). The lead has now grown to 63 points, with Paulgrinny and BillFerny the best of the rest.

At the other end, Wilbert's looking doomed and Nathan247 has yet to close the gap on the rest of us.

Meanwhile, in the cup... Dude lost his quarterfinal which leaves Hotpot as our last remaining representative. However he is also hanging by a thread - 4 points down after the first leg, HH is waiting for confirmation of the scores from the week of 18th Jan from each of Hotpot and Groomyd to confirm which of them makes it into the semi (which is already underway!).
[So Hotpot, if you are reading this - a quick look-up of your weekly score for the 18th from the website would help HH get things back on track!]

Thanks Hog I'm just waiting for Groomyd, Hotpot had pmed me his since my post.

Latest update sees Robot still in the lead, but his "unassailable" lead of my last update (63 points) has been cut back to 37, so it's not all over just yet!

Bill Ferny is leading the chase in second place, after a bad week for Paulgrinny (his 40 points was the worst score of the week) means he drops to third.

Highest score this week was Hogweed - he stays in 5th, but there's now a very big gap between the top 5 and the rest.

Meanwhile it's getting tighter at the bottom after good scores this week from both Nathan and Wilbert.

And here's this week's update.

Remind me not to use the word "unassailable" again Robot's lead was down from 63 to 37 last time, now it's just 14 points! He has 3 transfers left (I'm assuming here that everyone is up to date with their posting on here btw). Bill Ferny (also 3 transfers left) has Robot in his sights, while Paulgrinny (5 left) is still right in it in third place.

Highest score of the week though goes to backmarker Wilbert (5 left, and in the middle of a daisychain), who makes up some ground on the rest of us down there in the relegation zone.
