The Boss Is Back On Top

Thanks to being one of only two players (MikeA the other one) to get a bonus point to add to 3 for a Stanley win prediction. No maxis this week , 15 others getting the result but none of the scores right, with 8 drawmongers on the fence and 7 realistic , incorrect pessimists. We seem, by the way, to have settled to a fairly regular 32 participants, with 4 others who have played once or twice, but not scored any points, at the bottom of the table.

Div3North's bonus enabled him to catch AccyMad and knock her off the top spot on countback, having got 2 maxis to her 1 to date. Smobile and Winstanley profited from lack of faith on the part of JimsLad and MonkeyHanger to move up to 3rd=, 2 points behind the leaders. Outback Ozzy made a move from 9th to 6th, and Cashman and Mab eased into the Top Ten at the expense of Accybeme and Ossy Kid.

Crucially, the result means my local butcher down here in Pompey will be putting the quid into the charity box in his shop this time, not me .

So, after a minor diversion to the Olympic Stadium to play some other claret and blue side, it's roll on Colchester, where another clean sheet would come in very handy, and a 2-0 win would put us above them and probably into a more important Top Ten. Can we do it? Course we can! On Stanley On!!
