Week 11: Shutdown Shoots Up

Sam Reed: one of our youngest managers

Earlier this season, winning the Manager of the Week certificate meant automatic top spot occupancy.  The last few weeks have stopped all that nonsense of course but this week it looked, for a moment, like it was going to happen one last time for one of our youngest managers.  Sam Reed's Shutdown FC decided to put a random 25-point spurt on this week and leapfrog to the 100-point mark while pinching the Manager of the Week certificate along the way.  Sam's Shutdown shot up eleven places in the table to land with an imposing thud into Second place.  Marvellous to see such young talent, fecund with potential, setting itself up for the inevitable ultimate disappointment, future adult disillusionment and bitter self-destruction.

Enjoy it while you can, Sam.  While-you-can.

Meanwhile, Chris Walsh continues conjuring with his mysterious magic by netting another negative point-haul pushing Obi Wan Kenobi Nil even further away from the rest of the league.  Nearly back at zero, Chris.  Nearly.

Farthest faller... Big Mally.  Down five places.  Shocking.

Righto.  Tinkety Tonk.
