Week 19: Christmas Lovin' Happened So Fast

Sarah and Russ Bloody Bielby

Wella, wella, wella, oof!

Look at that.  Big Mally's Malcolmyouplaysobadly have pinched back the number one spot from Russ Bielby.  Meanwhile, Russ's middle name of 'Bloody' has been passed across to his wife, Sarah 'Bloody' Bielby whose Johnny's Heroes has won her YET ANOTHER Manager of the Week Certificate by scoring 20 points this week.  The Heroes are up to third in the table.

The rest of the week has seen the usual ups and downs of the other managers who all merrily toast the good fortune of the Bielby's without a hint of jealousy because it is the season of good will to all men [and women] isn't it?

*Pause*

[Silence]

I said "ISN'T IT?"

*Pause*

[Reluctant murmur of concurrence]

That's more like it.

And yes, I'm particularly talking to you Stanley Wilson and Nick Reed.  And you can wipe that smug look of your face too Chris Walsh.

Happy Bloody Christmas.

And now the cup begins...
