h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Don't think so - feel free to vent your spleen. Is it going to be about how they play the man not the ball constantly ?

No I just wanted to find someone to hit.

90 minutes of near total domination. Then two small incidences of the defence looking at one another, and Forest score on both occasions

he he, my mate i am going to Portugal with supports Forrest. i did think of you Greydesk when he told me they'd beaten Sheffield Utd, away. still, i was on my way to getting quite tipsy as a result of finishing Arsenals hopes of a treble.

COME ON CHELSEA!! (i know, it's just i'd rather Ranieri gets to salute the Abromovich board with a 2 fingered gesture come the end of the season than see Arsenal win anything. At all.)

So much for Brechin v Ayr. No one, not anyone got a single point out of that game. It was a similar fate with Wednesday. I must have come as quite a shock for Grimsby who are hopeless to beat Sheffield who are merely not very good. But hey, them's the breaks I guess

This week I would like to talk about the rise of the quiet men.

All season long Owlatron has been there or thereabouts. He's been a no show on a couple of occasions which has knocked back his winning potential, with a bit of consistency he could rise to the very top and stay there! Then there is Bottletop who only joined us in Week 5. Since than he's quietly racked up 73 points. Never winning a week until now, but always it seems 2nd or 3rd in a week. Indeed if you look at the count back, Bottletop has put on 10 more points than our current leader, and leader for most of the season todd.

Bottletop and Owlatron - two forces for the future. Be afraid, be very afraid

This week's joint winners are Bottletop and Owlatron. Well done guys, you deserve it

Great. Now I have to share my coveted 2nd spot. Out of the 14 weeks, for how many of them have I been 2nd or 3rd??

2nd x 5
3rd x 3
4th x 4
5th once
6th once

Does that answer your question?

Second 5 times, third 3, and yet I can't mount a sustained push for the top. Reminds me of a few seasons for Leeds under O'Leary... Glory days...

Thanks, first (joint)top of the week.....yesss!,

"never underestimate a quiet man"... Who sad that, and where is he now eh?...

Bottletop

congrats mate to both of us joint winners
