£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.

This updates includes games from last week, the weekend and last night – so it is not SURPRISING that people like Alan Corson have got a MASSIVE 107 points since the last update.

CRAZY!!!

At the top, Scally still leads the pack – but with just 49 points since the last update, things are TIGHTENING up – with Nick Sibley unleashing 79 points to climb 5 places into 4th – Rhodri Evans whipping 93 points out of the bag to climb 7 places into 11th spot – and Dan Marshall hammering home 94 points to climb 11 places.

INTENSE!!!

This update now includes the latest wave of TERRIFYING transfers and with only 6 players in the top 20 with any transfers left to use, I wouldn’t be lieing if I said that some managers are very WORRIED.

SCARED even.

Ring… Ring…

Who is it?

Destiny??

I’ve been expecting your call.

It’s a tough game, no fairness, no mercy, just the bitter sweet divide between winners and losers.

This month Chris Oestrich has taken both the Highest Points and Highest Climber prizes – and each time has trampled on the hopes of Stefan Griffiths in 2nd place. Chris (243 points), Stefan (234 points), Kokbun Lee (221 points), Chris (36 places), Stefan (32 places) and David Brear (24 places).

Meanwhile “Mundo” won Fun Quiz 2 (can you let me know who you are?!!) and Leigh Styles won Fun Quiz 1. Good skills both.

Jonathan Cann took Lucky Dip 1, Sian Till scooped Lucky Dip 2 and Danielle Roberts fluked the 3rd.

Chris Moreto will cash in with the biggest faller prize, down 44 places.

———————————————-

In the League, Scally has pounced into top spot, whilst Mr Green’s drop into 8th see’s the rest of the top table move up a spot. The ladies report a good weekend with Emily, Rebecca, Emma, Joanne, Louise and Kathal all continuing their climb, whilst Steve D and Carl M clocked two of the biggest individual rises up 12 and 13 places respectivevly. On the flip side, Jonny G falls 19 places with Connor and (cough) me down 12 places each. Dark times.

Please note: The Dream Team website didn’t split Saturday’s and Sunday’s points so the whole weekend counts towards January.
Please note: Transfers for February have not yet been put in – but they will be obviously before the next points update.

Last update until I return from what I’m excited to call the “Drink, Eat And Dance For All The Time” session (or DEAD FATT for short) so get ready for a bit of a sing-along…

On the 1st day of Christmas, Ian Crocker said to me, I’ve got 956 points and a 36 point lead….
On the 2nd day of Christmas, Mark and Anna said, watch out Ian, whilst we storm ahead….
On the 3rd day of Christmas, Nic said to Jock, we’re climbing so fast, I think my socks blew off…
On the 4th day of Christmas, Alex said to all, my weekly points rock, so now hear me roar…
On the 5th day of Christmas, Marshall said to Jon, give me a subway, you’re falling like a rock my son…
On the 6th day of Christmas, Lewis sung a tune, up 15 places, now I’m over the moon…
On the 7th day of Christmas, Luan said to Oz, you might be ahead, but remember I’m still the boss…
On the 8th day of Christmas, Lloydy felt insane, as he was down near the bottom, but had a cool team name…
On the 9th day of Christmas, Jack climbed 18 spots, chasing his Dad, all the way to the top…
On the 10th day of Christmas, Millo fell 15, now he wishes, Anna had picked his team…
On the 11th day of Christmas, Kirsty said to Dean, I used to be ahead, this is the most insulting thing I’ve seen…
On the 12th day of Christmas, Sam and Quirk schemed, if we’re going to beat Lyons, we’d better play mean…

Hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Beer Tree

Some things are pure fact (like the placement of a donkey’s eyes in its head enables it to see all four feet at all times), other things are pure fiction (like all polar bears are left-handed) but the vast majority of life falls into that fuzzy grey area between, where somethings validity is really only as strong as the person who is presenting it…

So this week here are the results in our fantasy football league:

FACT: Scally is in top place
FUZZY: As a Liverpool supporter he may get distracted by some hub caps at a critical moment
FICTION: If he wins, he’ll spend the money on champagne

FACT: Lyons has continued to climb up to 4th place
FUZZY: Despite his namesake, he does not roar when he’s happy
FICTION: In his head-to-head battle with Sam, it’s too close to call

FACT: Jon Ed has continued to fall, now into double figures at 10th place
FUZZY: If he finishes outside of the money spots, he may implode on his own trash talk
FICTION: Dan Marshall helped chose his team

FACT: Louise was the highest climber up 22 places into 52nd
FUZZY: Her remarkable performance comes not from her strikers (0 points so far) but from an unccany ability to read tea-leaves
FICTION: She’ll take transfer advice from Jon Edwards

FACT: I’m down 13 places into 60th spot
FUZZY: May have to introduce a free bonus Christmas transfer for people with names beginning with G
FICTION: Will finish outside the top 10 (through fair means or foul)

Hope everyone’s having a good Monday.

[Please note that all entries for the guess the total number of points in the month competition must be in by Friday 28th Novemeber]

In the football you got a real sense the league table was beginning to shake itself out, with Hull continuing their losing streak and Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all breaking clear at the top. It was a weekend for doubles with Sanli, Anelka, Bent, Nasri, Saha and Keane all bagging 2 goals each. This means that in our table, Scally and Ian C climb into 2nd and 3rd, closely followed by Lyons and with Stacey breaking into 9th place. Iwan and Kokbun are also putting pressure on the top 10.

More games mid week so let’s just leave it at that shall we?

Indeed.
