But you've seen I'm a fast finisher in this game so I'll take my time to get it right. Just mulling over whether I can wait another week for the non-performers in the team. I think I can but will keep thinking.happyhoppy wrote:You can't win it but you can certainly lose it....Mystery wrote:Keeping my powder dry. No egg cups handed out in September
murf wrote:Thanks, but I don't want to get over-confident. It is several months til I am assured of that.happyhoppy wrote:Anyway, 4th egg cup is virtually on the shelf.
murf wrote:They'll need to be HUGE punches.happyhoppy wrote:Nah, I've led almost from start to finish before it can be done again, one or two more punches and you're oot.
I've come back from bigger margins than 61 points before and those deficits were at Easter (ask the Chief). Less than 2 points a week will do it.

When was the last time I was top??
murf wrote:Probablyhappyhoppy wrote:3 years ago ?
I'm only top due to burning transfers (if I hadn't bought Jones I'd be 3rd) whereas in the Drunken League I am hoarding and lost my lead (a Jones 5pts would have kept my in 1st).

The Ledge wrote:Hoppy, I know how bad you feel after stealing the trophy last year but I don't need charity to win this year
murf wrote:We can laugh together at Jester, Ledge and BFM then.Neath boy wrote:I did same as you Murf.
Glad I've got one rival worthy of the description in this, would be a hollow victory otherwise
Mystery wrote:If I could start this game anything approaching "not utterly pi** poor" then I'd have won good money. Bad start but hung on to transfers and now we're movin' on up
The Ledge wrote:Hmmm, could get a little boring this season with all the contenders copying me*. It'll be down to transfers remaining and a spot of "He who dares Rodders".
Just concentrating on avoiding those bottom two places at the moment though.

Mystery wrote:Nah too early to discount anyone in the top 8.
Mystery wrote:In this league based on my experience I believe it does!murf wrote:Real life isn't like Southampton FC. A season doesn't have to end in either a trophy (happy) or relegation (unhappy)happyhoppy wrote:NB The Ledge doesn't think he's going down, he's just taking the piss put of me thinking that I do but I only have 12t no Bale and 2 dodgy defenders it is but no means a foregone conclusion.
Mystery wrote:Into the top half of the table this morning. Never doubted I'd move up when it mattered.
murf wrote:You are 4th in the league.happyhoppy wrote:Eye still bad.
34 points off the lead
Mystery wrote:65 off of the lead.....
I couldn't go from last to first surely.
Could I?

All I've done with transfers lately is take out high scorers for donkeys - I honestly think I would struggle to capitulate this badly if I tried!The Ledge wrote:Thanks for the advice hoppy - you're not such a bad lad after allhappyhoppy wrote:Wolves are due a good result I recommend getting in early this Sunday after all you do hate who they are playing.....The Ledge wrote:I am so shit at this

Nice to know that at times like this even combatants come together for the help of all!Karrde wrote:eeep!happyhoppy wrote:Week 32
Special mention to Digsby who managed to get a NIL POINT for the week. As Murf pulls away at the top Jester scored a superb 68 to get himself out of the relegation zone.The Ledge wrote:I'd be leading this thing if I didn't have such strong principlesmurf wrote:Your mind games are all too transparentNeath boy wrote:I would rather be in your shoes here too Murf.murf wrote:I'd be winning if Chelsea put men on both posts at corners or Cahill knew how to duck!The Ledge wrote:True.

I thought Suarez v Gerrard would be key as it enables better rotation for you - and has got you better points en route. I'm guessing your next move but I couldn't see a way of getting there (from Gerrard) myself.Neath boy wrote:And there goes my big gamble.
Suarez in for RVP.
Potential 6 for 3 but it won't be!!!

Still all to play for I think.happyhoppy wrote:It's the psychological damage not the pts per se.Neath boy wrote:What is your name ?
SAF?Mystery wrote:Doubt it. Perhaps not too little but surely too late. Would need to see some slightly freaky results. Like Torres getting a hat trick or two.happyhoppy wrote:Could Mystery be a late contender....
At Xmas I'd have accepted 9th place in an instant if you'd offered it me. Up to 24th in Div 5 today. Two transfers left so too late there too.
Would like to catch murf at least thoughNeath boy wrote:It's going to be tight. Squeeky bum time!Neath boy wrote:Please no!Neath boy wrote:You too mystery.
You put in an amazing run and I genuinely feared I could lose it today!
You deserved runners up slot after that run!happyhoppy wrote:Congrats to Neath boy on winning his first egg cup which will be worming its way to Wales as soon as I can get my wife to make them up. Unlucky to Jester and Karrde who ended up relegated hopefully both will battle back again next year. Thanks for playing, see you again in August.
