Seven Points Clear With Five To Play
Virtually everybody is on the bandwagon now, except for Outback Ozzy and Accybeme doing reverse psychology and Ossy Kid just unable to believe …….. and at halftime it looked like rampant optimism (26 out of 29 going for a win
) was going to get its usual Accy reward of a kick in the teeth
. Then something miraculous happened
.
As a result, it all came down to bonus points this week, with everyone not yet mentioned getting at least 3 points. 8 of us also got a single BP for “Stanley 3”, but only Stevie R maxed out by adding “Crewe 2”.. His reward – a surge up the table
from 21st to 19th
.
Ossy Kid was the only player to be entirely pointless, dropping out of the Top Ten as a result – 8th to 11th. Div3North was the beneficiary, sneaking up into 10th
. Accybeme’s continuing self-sacrifice dropped him a couple of places, too, but the only other positional changes were towards the bottom end with some who played climbing over some who didn’t. A few gaps closed or opened by a point or two.
We now have 30 regular or semi-regular players of whom 17 (down to Football19) can still theoretically
top the league. AccyMad added a point to her lead this week and now stands 7 clear of Mab (80 plays 73), with Kiwi John and Leylandii a further point back, MikeA on 71 and DaveinGermany 70. Cashman is best of the rest on 66.
But it’s getting harder to get excited about our little game when the big game remains well and truly on
. Roll on Blackpool – squashed tangerines for anyone? Yes please!
On Stanley On!!
