B

i know it's hard to avoid a cool name like Ndumbu-Nsungu, but i thought that at least ormy was taking this lark seriously!

meanwhile i believe i've won my 3rd week on the trot and may manage to make this a 3 horse race!

Bloody Dagenham and Redbridge, I nearly got it perfect there - with only about 2 minutes to go they put two in!
Wiped the smile of my face I can tell you.

Still, I think I'm still just about in the lead.
It's going to the wire this one...

This was a week where one either did well, or you didn't. As I was going through the scores I didn't get any feeling of there being any middle ground on this issue.

And the ones who did well? Oh, they were (mostly) the usual suspects

Orcus, being the only representative of mid-range mediocrity this week could be tossing it all away in the face of Ormy's end of season charge. But then he's under pressure from riotact and his foreign contingent. Riotact doing so well as to bag a third week in a row on the top spot, plus another full house

There will be another couple of weeks of this mayhem before we know the final winner
