So this idea of a breakaway European Super League causes more issues for football in the UK. But this time they directly affected our beloved Prediction League and I can tell you that as a committee supporting you, our members, we are not at all happy with this!! We have decided that due to the Gamball being declared null and void we will be taking both legal and physical action against Man Utd directly.
To this end we have instructed our attorneys to write a very stern letter to Man Utd's owners the Glazers to inform them of the trouble they are causing and that they have been very, very naughty!! To ram this point home Zinman and I have volunteered to take this letter directly to them and at the same time hold a peaceful protest outside their offices in Florida!! On your behalf (and on Stair's dime!!) we will dedicate two weeks of our time to sweat in the Florida sun but rest assured we will be protected by factor 50 sun cream!! We know all of you will be supporting us and wishing us well from the UK!!
So without the Gamball we still had the other 9 games, and top of the charts this week is St Charles with 16 points, he was the only one to get 2 CSs and backed this up with 3 CRs including the Bonus. Amelia keeps her recent form going and is in 2nd on 13 points, like SCO she scored on 5 games but only had one CS. Champion-elect BBB and relegation favorite Twerton are in 3rd on 11 points, both got the Bonus but even though Twerton scored on more games, BBB was able to convert one of his to a CS to keep their points level.
Bomber is 5th with 10 points, again scoring on 5 games but his score was held back due to missing on the Bonus. Snooty is 6th and finally got a positive score finishing with 7 points. Sanjay, AAA and Derby were all tied on 6 points, Sanjay and AAA had identical records, scoring on 4 games, whereas Derby only scored on 2 games but one of them was his Bonus to boost his score.
Themaclad has been on a poor run and it appears not to be over just yet, he is in last place this week on -1, his decent form of a few weeks ago now seems like a distant memory but as the cricket season has started I fear his mind might be elsewhere as he spirals towards the Championship!! His only saving grace this week was that for the first time in his long life he managed to score a half century for his local cricket team, well done on that one Themaclad!!!!
BBB - 332

Bomber - 253

Twerton - 181
No positional changes in the table this week but some races certainly hotted up a little. SCO in 2nd opened a bit of a gap on Sanjay in 3rd but the real move was from Bomber who is now just 3 points behind Sanjay. Lord Snooty's poor form may have seen a boost this week but his other 'arf Amelia's consistent good form now sees her only a single point behind him!! Derby is losing ground on these two and that relegation PO spot is looming large for him. The bottom two have been the same for weeks now but Twerton's decent recent form couple with Themaclad's exploits in cricket means there is now only one point between them in the race for the wooden spoon!!
Cheers

Breaking News:
A special Prediction League investigation has discovered evidence that suggests that Minizin was the mastermind (?) behind the Manchester Utd protests. In an apparent move to limit the chances of anyone preventing his promotion he moved to ensure that the gamball game would be postponed denying his rivals of any chance of securing the maximum 10 points. The investigation will continue and when.....sorry, that should be if...he is found guilty a points deduction will surely be in order. In the meantime, SCO and I will be seeking retribution from the Glazers though SCO did forget to mention that our trip will require outside funding (well, have you seen the prices in the bars, strip clubs and brothels in Miami?). Funds can be sent to "Buy Zin a house in California" - just pm me for the account details.
In the absence of the gamball, with 1 exception scores were fairly close this week. We were helped by only 1 incorrect bonus ball and a decent return from the scoreball. The exception was BaggieOne, reigniting his promotion push with a very strong performance and the week's highest correct scores and correct results. A 5 point gap to Somerset and that arch villain, Minizin sharing second place, both scoring from the 2 balls in play. DD got to double figures from just 3 correct results with Zinman just a further point behind. Lady Jane was one of only 3 players with a correct score but was let down by her bonus (seems to be something of a theme for her) - still, 8 points from 9 games isn't a bad return.
Not much damage done elsewhere with Joker and Stairs on 7 points though Silver's promotion hopes will have taken a knock with his bottom place this week with only 2 correct results.

Pending further investigation, Minizin looks set for the championship. The competition for the other promotion and play-off spot is become more intense with just 4 points separating 3 players. BaggieOne's good week takes him from 4th back up to 2nd but there's still all to play for. Any rumours that Zinman will be putting BaggieOne and Silver on his ignore list and claiming they didn't submit scores might well be correct! Stairs and Somerset will need an incredible end to their season if they are to mount a late challenge while Joker and DD might just have enough to avoid bottom place unless Lady Jane improves her use of her balls!

Do you have an occupation where you need to write like that, cos that shows an active mind with humour. Media?
