£6 goes to me!!! who was the October Manager of the Month with 210 points, followed loosely by Tom Jones (185) and tonnes of teams hitting 184, Nick Day, Chris Lyons and Dan Marshall.

£5 goes to Nick Day who climbed a tidy 48 places in the month, comfortably beating Chris Morteo up 37 and Gerard Crispie up 36 places.

Poor old “Mutton Chops FC” had a shocker of a month, dropping 52 places

This month two lucky people won £1 each for finishing on a multiple of 100, Helen MacInnes (500) and Nick Day (600).

The winners of the two fun competitions were:

Jon Griffiths who gets £3 for being the closest guess (169) to the 166 points scored in the final 5 rugby internationals at the weekend.

Ken Stafford who gets £3 for correctly guessing that “X Factor” would be in todays top searches on Yahoo.

Good skills to everyone.

Interestingly, Microsoft have just compiled their top 10 searches of the entire 2009 year and this is how it goes (in reverse order):

10. Jaycee Dugard (kidnapped in 1991 and finally found in August of this year, the story was national news)
9. Billy Mays (famous pitchman who passed away in June)
8. Jon and Kate Gosselin (former stars of Jon and Kate Plus 8, the public destruction of their marriage was a big topic of interest)
7. Cash for Clunkers (a U.S. government program to replace less fuel efficient vehicles with newer, more fuel-economic cars)
6. Patrick Swayze (famous actor who passed away in September)
5. Farrah Fawcett (famous actress and pop culture icon who passed away in June)
4. Stock Market
3. Swine Flu
2. Twitter

And the number one searched term of 2009:

1. Michael Jackson

Personally, I didn’t search for any of those in the whole of 2009!!

What’s weirder though is that they also released their top 3 most searched living celebrities of 2009:

3. Megan Fox
2. Robert Pattinson
1. Perez Hilton

So if its men searching for number 3 and women for number 2, then what massive group of people have been searching for Perez?!

perez

For those that don’t know he runs “Hollywoods most hated website”.

That’s enough facts for now.

Remember today is the last day to get your transfers in for December.

£6 goes to M Davey who was the October Manager of the Month with 270 points, closely followed by Jock with 244 and Cameron with 237.

£5 goes to Emily who climbed a massive 82 places in the month, closely followed by M Davey up 77 and Jock again up 76.

Since not a single person finished the month on a multiple of 100 and would therefore have claimed £1 each – for this month I have extended the prizes to those with a multiple of 10 but just 50p each – this means that all these jammy people have opened their account: Quirky, Fitzpatrick, J Cann, Wheeler (D), M Davey, Cameron, Caden Oestrich, Joanne S, James M, Andrew Edwards, A Kyle, Steven Williams, Nicolas Threasher, Tim Littler, Jake Alexander, Jon Griffiths, Nia Williams and Mat James!!!

At the top of the league we still have Luan but Andy G has climbed into second place pushing Anna and Joanne down a slot, whilst Tom Jones is up into 5th followed by Sibley in 6th whilst Michael and Cameron enter the top 10 at the expense of Keivan and Lyons.

Some of the mini battles that are going on look like this:

Marshall vs Edwards is too close to call at 537 vs 527
Lyons vs Brown vs Quirk is also hottening up at 566 vs 471 vs 538
Baber vs Jones vs Radford may be turning into a two horse race with 338 vs 528 vs 535
Scally vs Baker vs Else vs Stafford vs Dack looks like it has seen its first call for a medic with 533 vs 465 vs 553 vs 474 vs 258

We’ll cover some more inter league stories next week.

In addition to the normal prizes, there will also be a couple of fun competitions this month (with prizes) and all you have to do to enter is leave an answer to one or both of these questions on the website…

1) How many points will be scored in the final 5 International rugby games at the end of the month? (The games are France v New Zealand, Ireland v South Africa, Italy v Samoa, Scotland v Argentina, Wales v Australia and obviously all answers need to be submitted before match day which is the 28th!!!)

2) Name one of the items that you think will be in the Yahoo Top 10 Most Searched List on 1st December. Check out www.yahoo.co.uk (top right) to see the kind of things that Paris Hilton loving, Wayne Rooney worshipping, Royal Mail slagging people are looking for.

Ok that’s it for now. Let’s have some lunch.
