Don't worry. You do a sterling job week after week and RL is far more important than a bit of fun like this. Thanks for all your efforts.

Hear, hear. Thanks for a great game, GD.

Thanks guys

I'm just taking a quick 5 minute break. I've done the dishes; cleaned the bath and washbasin; and dusted round the house a bit.

I've still to clean the kitchen; clean the toilet; wash the kitchen floor and vacuum right through.

She's arriving in about 2½ hours time.

Panic....!

Well by my own calculations I think I've slipped even further behind Riotact, yet not on the others near the top.

BArring a stunning reversal next week, I suspect we more or less have a winner already. Will fight to the wire nevertheless.

Yes, I think the mouse mat is headed across the English Channel this time. But I'll race you to the finishing line for the runner-up spot, Orcus!

More than anything, though, I want to fend off summerbayexile's challenge and clinch my 12th top three finish in 14 seasons.

I've never been considered a challenger for any position except last before this season. I am truly flattered!!!! How can I make up those 5 points?

Well, the season traditionally ends with a bumper-sized 10-game week, which gives more scope for late fluctuations. I'm not sure what GD has in mind for this time around - but I'll be doing my best to finish strongly!

Oh really? IN that case I'm definitely not quitting yet.

Yes, It's still all to play for..... still 175 points up for grabs,

who am I kidding?..........

...

I'm still doing the entertaining aged relative thing at the moment. So no scores yet. Sorry.

The good news is that she's leaving tomorrow. YAY!!!

...

You know, finally Creachy is getting the hang of this game. He's pulled off a really rather tasty 13 points, including a full house, to win this week. Nice

As to the table: well all of the usual suspects did well. But some did better than others as riotact tightens his grip at the top of the table with an 8 point lead over our rookie, Orcus. Ormy is kind of looking safe in third place, but it could all change with the last week's play.

------------

The Results:

Liverpool 3-0 Wigan (POLLITT, Crouch, Luis Garcia)

Newcastle 1-1 Aston Villa (SHEARER, McCann)

West Brom 0-0 Fulham (--)

Hearts 2-1 Livingston (SKACEL, Walker)

Sheffield United 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday (QUINN)

(Note: Pollitt will be considered as the first scorer in the Liverpool game, as this competition will have come to an end by the time the FA's Dubious Goals panel () sits next week.)

*Dances the Irish Jig*

<------ and falls over

Just cos I was equal last due to my optimism over the Livingston game there is no need to dance on me!

Totally academic but I think I'm owed a first scorer point for Mr Shearer.

I think you might be right there.
