Dutch my luck!

I shall not be going into the final Gameweek ahead on points. Spudly now leads by 8 potatoes.
Her Van Aanholt scored 15 points over the two Sunderland matches and made the difference.

I had forgotten all about the Dutch menace. I had a second cousin* dropped at Arnhem for goodness sake. Not from the team; by parachute!

 Freddie Basham, from Leadgate, Co Durham, survived the 2nd World War.

*He would have loved me to say that he should have been dropped at Sunderland! Or even Middlesbrough!

The Boro have several fans amongst our league members and there are others like myself who would be delighted to see them in the EPL. Fingers crossed for them at Wembley.

Nick Hall (See See Songs) first watched a top division team at Ayresome Park. Around 1970. And I saw Wilf Mannion (Middlesbrough) play. And Shackleton at Sunderland. Maybe once each.

Oh! And George Hardwick, now a statue. England captain, right back then ...!



League table after 37 Gameweeks, with one more to be played.

It is going to be close. If the league points are equal (from total of wins and draws) then the total points won decides the ranking.
This is not a  parallel to the real football leagues where points difference is the criterion. I wonder why it is not the same here in our fantasy game.

 There is lots of drama to come on the final day, next Sunday. And Monday for Boro!

Then we have to think about next year. I would welcome any ideas about the shape of our league. Or do we continue as before?


The End
