Week 06: To Snooze Is To Lose Is To Blundell

Snoozing, losing, Blundelling.
Another Week, another Manager of the Week, another new top spot occupant.  What the bleedin' bloody blazes is going on?!

Sarah Bingham's Absolutely Fabregas climbed an astonishing seventeen places after they earned her this week's Manager of the Week Certificate by scoring an absolutely fabregas 29 points.

So what happened to Alex Blundell's Moanchester United? Well, they fell eight places after scoring zero - they snoozed, they loozed.  It's Craig McHugh's Game Of Throw Ins who fall furthest this week, however: a score of 3 points and a fall of eleven places.  Russ Bielby's Livercoolio fall ten.

Meanwhile, newcomer Mike Smears had a good start this week with 22 points while current Champions, Minty's Minions, are keeping up with the pace in Fifth, only four points off the top.  Not bad for an ol' gal, eh?

See you next week.

   From: Mike Smears
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com

Esteemed Dr Mr President

I am outraged. I left you with strict instructions last year to suspend the start of the new season until I returned from my hard work on the beaches of France. This year has been especially strenuous. 

Then I return and find that not only have you started but that some young managers have sprinted away with hundreds of points.

I demand that you revert every other team to zero: and that my players can gain points retrospectively, for the time I was hard at work in France.

I promise you: if you do not accede to this demand, I shall leave the EU.

So there

Bristling from Brexit.

Chairman responds:
The beaches of France?  You think you're back in World War II again?  Take the tablets and do your breathing exercises, Sir.  I'll call the nurse immediately. 

[Marvellous to have you back, ranting for Britain].

Radnorshire Tigers
-------------------
   From: Alun Edwards
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com

Dear Chairman,

Coming back from the international break, my reading of the celeb magazines during my all-too-necessary trip to the gents and ladies hairdresser has prompted me to rethink the team selection for the Radnorshire Tigers. 

OUT:
136 GK V Mannone SUN 3.4
202 FB L Shaw    MU  4.3   
483 MF E Dier    TOT 3.8    
348 MF N Kante   CHE 3.5 
570 ST S Long    SOT 6.2    

IN:
629 GK C Bravo   MC  £4.3 
222 FB K Walker  TOT  4.3         
494 MF E Capoue  WAT  3.3  
508 MF M Antonio WH   4.2    
523 ST A Sanchez ARS £7.6

I trust this lot won’t appear in the tabloids tripping up on their way out of a seedy nightclub!

Ally

----------------------
Chairman responds:
And the message here is... Baby, Let Your Hair Grow Long.

They shall start playing for you on Monday at 1730hrs.
