Week 40: Poor Guy

Poor Guy (far left)
You can stop banging on about it now. Yes, you know who you are.... You've won it. You were underdogs. Nobody expected it. We get it. 

Now belt up, pipe down, pack it in and leave it out.

It also means that everyone else is struggling to find something meaningful to get excited about for the end of the season. And that's the remit we've accepted for this edition of Studmarks. Let's give it a try, shall we?

7 points separate Fourth from Seventh meaning that that Fourth place is up for grabs. And can Eleventh-placed Ali McMoist slide themselves into the top ten? And if so, at whose expense? Edgar Rayner's? Neil McConaghy's? And is Karyn Meaden going to hold on to that Twentieth place, while Alex Blundell is seedily breathing down her beautifully-formed and Mallyable neck.

Oh yes, there's Guy Harewood, look... picking up his Manager of the Week certificate for steering his Com-a ma mau papas to a score of 12 points this week. Oh, hang on, there's no need for that... he's looked down at the unimpressed audience, who really aren't paying much attention, and has let the certificate drop to the floor. Exit stage left.

Poor guy that Guy. Even he knows that to overhaul Ms Minty's Minty's Minions' mighty lead of 41 points - in one week with a quarter of his line-up being the same as hers - is probably not going to happen. Unless most of his different players score a hatrick each.

Could happen.

It won't.

Cheer yourself up, Mr Harewood, by looking forward to the glamour and glitz of the...

The two finalists share 3 players: Smalling, Barkley and Mahrez. The difference will therefore come from the following...
