You can't win it but you can certainly lose it....
Yeah very true. 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.
Don't wait too long I can only just make you out in my rear view mirror......

Thanks, but I don't want to get over-confident. It is several months til I am assured of that.
murf wrote:
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. :P
They'll need to be HUGE punches.

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:
happyhoppy wrote:3 years ago ? :wink:
Probably :lol: :oops:

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).

We can laugh together at Jester, Ledge and BFM then.

Glad I've got one rival worthy of the description in this, would be a hollow victory otherwise :wink:

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.

Real life isn't like Southampton FC. A season doesn't have to end in either a trophy (happy) or relegation (unhappy) :wink:
In this league based on my experience I believe it does!

You are 4th in the league.

34 points off 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!
Using the 10 points per transfer rule you are only 10 or 11 points behind me and NB at the top.....
...but I'm currently working on a -3 points per transfer rule :D

Wolves are due a good result I recommend getting in early this Sunday after all you do hate who they are playing..... :P
Thanks for the advice hoppy - you're not such a bad lad after all :D

Nice to know that at times like this even combatants come together for the help of all!

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.

Pretty much continuing where you left off then. :wink:
True. But I'll still beat you :wink:
murf wrote:
Neath boy wrote:It is going to the wire Murf!
I hope so as I can see you extending your lead before I (try to) pull it back.

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!!!
He who gambles Rodney!

Neath boy wrote:Go Suarez!
As a Liverpool fan I am stil cheering as they go in (but only just...!)
happyhoppy wrote:Is that the killer blow.
Neath boy wrote:I wonder but only a 10 point gain on the day.
Still all to play for I think.

SAF?
Mystery wrote:
happyhoppy wrote:Could Mystery be a late contender.... :P
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.

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 though ;-)

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.
