Week Eight - Round UpAs the TGC Tours webpage took ages to load the East Fife Chairman began to wonder if, yet again, internet glitches would ride to the rescue of his team when they accumulate enough demo marks to be booted from CC-B. Sweet Baby Jesus and the Orphans! I hope not.
Premier DivisionCeltic Wolf must think that this all seems very familiar. A two-horse race with three or four teams fighting it out for the scraps and a similar number scrapping it out to stay there. I will certainly never buy a used car from
FutureBuckeye11, given how wide of the mark his assurances about the moderate level of his play were on his application form. Juventus still have the advantage over
cassinochips and his Cassino Calcio side (something about Italian football at the momentÂ
). Juve saw off
avjpfc's third place Villa side 4-0 in a dominant display. In Soweto refusal to accept the laws of mathematics was not enough to save
Art Vandelay and his Orlando Impi from a 2-0 defeat by runner-up elect Jesse (happy new handicap for the showdown in the cup).
Talking of
Celtic Wolf, his Celtic team grabbed yet another draw with the bleary-eyed new dad
up mup kupen nup. That was the Hoops' fifth draw of the season and keeps them in the top half of the table, just, on goal difference. They could still be sucked into the relegation mire and will have to do a number on Cassino to avoid that. In fourth, the smirking Dutchman has Ajax mostly playing better, This week they came from behind to salvage a draw at home to Man United.
jason755 perhaps had one eye on next week's nice friendly encounter with Liverpool.
crushtastic allowed a 2-0 lead at the interval against
Giraffe72's Bristol City team. All of that means bugger all as the formbook can be thrown out of the window when United and Liverpool meet.
ChampionshipCarlisle have booked the open-topped hay cart in anticipation of their victory parade around the historic, Covid infested, often flooded city. I thought I might be a little premature in proclaiming them champions with
LEFTY79 driving Burton forward but then I realised that they were playing me next week and the course most definitely doesn't suit my eye.
thetaffman was the latest recipient of the dinner and a movie treatment from
Riotous and his Border Rievers. A slightly less intimidating trip to the Poundland Arena to take on
SkyBlueBen is the week nine fixture and he could only draw with me this week so definitely hope for Tranmere.
sid snott made full use of his prodigious handicap to see Herne Bay past
statelyowl's Canterbury and into third place. This should be good enough to secure a playoff spot as their only real threat is me, and I'm shite at the moment. Hyvinkään Palloseura squeezed past Barcelona.
mbuenger will be heartened by the prospect of playing Burton off level and having a chance to poke a hole on the title ambitions.
Tombanator has a chance to halt the rampant Herne Bay in their tracks. The much travelled and much sozzled
xboxjonnyuk watched Spurs leave it late to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and has a chance to do it all again in New Zealand in the final week of the regular season.
Sweet FA CupIt was always looking like a big ask for Championship sides Hyvinkään Palloseura and Carlisle to get anything out of their semi-finals with the Premier Division's top two. Carlisle at least scored a consolation goal against Jesse. Fun fact, well a fact at least, Jesse was in CC-G when all this PGF lark kicked off and is now about to be promoted to Platinum so maybe that is an omen for Paul Bradford or a lesson for us all.
