Lord S Stretches Out In Front Again As Stanley Make It Three Out Of Four

But the maxis this week were restricted to AndyD, up from 8th to 3rd as a result, and JimsLad (24th to 19th=). 6 4-pointers for those who thought we'd score 3 (thanks Billy, Sean and Sean), and 4 more for those who thought we'd keep a clean sheet for the first time (well done Aaron). And almost everybody else got 3, as usual when we win. Just 4 drawmongers and 2 pessimists amassing absolutely no points between them, the latter including NorthernSoul joining the game for the first time - our 35th player this season, of whom 27 got an entry in this week.

Amongst the 6 losers, Outback Ozzy slumped from 2nd to 7th=. And Proccy Fan missed the team bus altogether, failed to enter, and dropped from 3rd= to 10th=. But the makeup of the Top Ten remains unchanged, though its really now a Top Eleven as we also have Revived Red at 10th=.

Right. Our next 4 opponents are all currently in the bottom 6, which means we should get 3 points from them. But we're historically so good (not) at taking points from those in trouble that a total of 3 points is about as likely as anything else. Also we (the predictors not the team) are getting far too cocky and I fear someone's going to burst the bubble soon. But no! We are Stanley! We will prevail!!!

Roll on the Mariners. Its on Tuesday, people, don't forget - vote early, vote often, vote Stanley!
