Hope it's o.k. to continue this here, HMS Communicata has just slipped beneath the waves...Game 20: 28 November 1998 Wimbledon came to SJP on Fergusons debutoops! Solano opened the scoring before Gayle equalized but the second half was all about the giant Scot who got so fed up with Andersson hiding that he decided to score himself, twice. Neither of them were particularly memorable for quality, but the affect it had on the crowd was awesome. His enormous celebrations were ecstatically greeted by a crowd starved of personalities for a year, and his initial attempt to go and celebrate with the away fans until he realised where he was was priceless. An epic performance indicative of what we had to look forward to if someone could get the team feet and playing with confidence again.

This week was noticeable for the 6 pointer between Windy Wanderers and Houston Ferrets United which sent the Wanderers fans home smiling. Other big wins for Beardo Unied and Bartons Samba whilst How Toon is Now suffered a dip in form. The title-chase seems to have become a two-horse race except that nobody should write off the free-scoring ITK World Beaters just yet. With only 30 points separating 20th and 10th, the rest of the League is wide open.

Excellent. I'd hoped you'd transfer this over. Things like this keep everyone together. In my opinion, this is one of the best competitions there's been, despite my own appaling performance. Although a change of scenery seems to have done some good.

I forgot to reverse those fixtures so please accept my humble apologies. As for all these bliddy cynics...of course I'm not making it up, we'd have had some goalless games show up in the cup to try to make it look more realistic if I had.

--------------- Game 22: --------------- 4 October 1997, Spurs at SJP. A marvelous day! Big Les received a heros welcome and standing ovation at the end of the game despite wearing the wrong shirt. He also conspired to get locked in the karzi at half time with Ginola. In Canterbury, a silly fellow became extremely superstitious whilst working out listening to the match on 5 Live he kept bench pressing until the Toon scored, absolutely certain that it was the only way we would win. When Barton scored at the death, it was bloody nearly a death in Kentthe unlikeliness of the scorer merely confirmed that my superstition was correct, I only wish I'd been as lateral-minded as Gav.

Significant progress from Cliffs Corinthian Casuals and a slump by How Toon is Now grabbing the headlines (HTIN only have goal difference to thank in preventing their fall being even more precipitous). Real panic for Pilgrims Converts who simply cannot get a break at the moment; they have slipped another place down the table and are only a single point above the Leagues whipping boys MacBeths Marauders. Have one time strugglers Athletico Backworth finally beaten the drop or are they due to slip back into the mire? Whatever happens, rest assured that we shall keep you posted.

********Game 23******** 30 November 1996 SJP, Arsenal. Groan, it wasnt all good news under Keegan. Beaten 2-1 at home by 10-man Arsenal in a bad tempered game where both sides were clearly looking to settle scores thanks to that shameful display of refereeing at Highbury which led to Ginola being sent off after flattening that gimpy little tw*t Dixon. This had only come about after the ref had allowed Winterburn to nearly murder Watson and Daveed and had the gall to book Ginola for diving, despite it being a savage attack from behind with NO attempt to play the ball. Still bloody angry about it. Anyway, Shearers goal preceded Adams taking an early bath before Dixon (grrr) scored and Wright (surprise surprise) scored the winner at the death. Bunch of hairy ar*e!

Not many changes to the table to remark on, except that Pilgrims Converts have continued their slow decline to that point from which the only way is up and that Windy Wanderers have again slipped back into the relegation zone, much to the relief of Houston Ferrets United. The Greek Toon Tycoons have extended their lead to 11 points and are looking increasingly hard to catch, let alone beat.

********Game 24******** 17 December 1996. ANOTHER game against bloody Coventry. A miserable 2- 1 loss away with an evening kickoff.

Toon Goons keep rising whilst How Toon is Now continue their gradual recovery. Cliffs Corinthian Casuals suffered a sharp rebuff and Athletico Backworth must hope that their little wobble isnt the precursor to a slide back into the relegation zone. Pilgrims Converts find themselves in the unenviable situation of having two players working their socks off whilst the vast majority simply go through the motions: Shearer and Speed are earning their wages, but what of Dumas, Helder, Fox and Georgiades? One thing is for certain, there will be clearout at the Converts come the end of the season!

*******BBSCLFA Cup Round 2*******
Some outrageously highscoring games in this round with a staggering 53 goals in 8 matches. The 5-5 draw between the Wallsend Old Boys and the Toon Goons obviously provided quite a spectacle, although most people pitied MinesaS&N Academicals after the Greek Toon Tycoons continued their devastating League form in the Cup with a 4-0 drubbing on the Academicals own patch; the odds against that Double are tumbling fast. Robbie Elliott proved to be the difference between Beardo United and Houston Ferrets United in the battle of the Uniteds, whilst Gary Speed popped up with the winner for Stephs Superstars against Tantric Toon. The lowest scoring game saw Riks Rovers get overturned by Scratchys Scrotums who will be delighted to get into the next round, whatever the score. Screachers Creatures were roughly handled by Borussia Canwehaveourballbach with Gary Speed getting a consolation goal for the home side. MacBeths Marauders are becoming the draw specialists in the Cup after taking How Toon is Now to a replay on Monday.

Can I just sya how proud I am of my lads....they are thrid in the league, and pushing up behind Steph (oh please, get your minds out of the gutter) for that second slot.....just ready to make a final short sprint surge challenge for the title itself.Couple with that, a brilliant 4-2 win in the cup against those difficult chaps of Cliffs Corithians puts us into the quarter finals and a real possibility of pulling off the double.
And all of this is done in a very quiet and unassuming manner after the little tantrum with that Screaching person at the start of the season....now if we coud draw his team in the next round I would love it, just love it.

Great to see this competition is still running. Now to the point! Barton's Samba are the in form team having climbed from near the foot of the table to the dizzying heights of mid table mediocrity. However, we are beaten at home in the cup by bottom of the table opposition. We're not bitter about this!!! ...but would like to point out that our grey shirts were clearly confusing our players who consistently passed the ball to the referee's assistant and to the kid in the old Manure away strip in the upper tier of the Bobby Robson stand. By the way, think two divisions is a smashing idea - now that we are not in the relegation zone! Barton

The Wallsend Old Boys travelled to the Toon Goons and completely outplayed them with goals from Speed and Batty eliciting no reply from the home side.

They ran out 2-1 winners at How Toon is Now with goals from Batty and Gillespie.

When's the draw for the next round of the cup?
Have you got a "Big" name to do the homes and away, and will you provide a box in the top left hand corner of the screen for numbers to look out for?

We have a big name here to make the draw this afternoon, Changing Rooms very own Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen (and they dont come much bigger that). He is about to make a short speech: L L-B: Hello. I would like to take this opportunity to outline some changes that I feel are essential of association football is ever to achieve the heights of popularity attained by, say, Elizabethan Madrigals. You really must work on the aesthetics of the game and remember that the importance of style and presentation simply cannot be overstated.
Everyone Else: Eh? You what?
L L-B: I feel that the distasteful polyester strips should be replaced by a velvet frock-coat with lace sleeves and ruff. A dashing split up the back should ease running, and shorts should be discarded in favour of tights. Those awful boots should be replaced by patent leather shoes with a large buckle, and all teams should be dissuaded from running as it effects the hang of the cloth.
Everyone Else: Ah cannit believe my earsdid he say TIGHTS?
L L-B: As for the goals, white, wooden posts are so passe. I feel that some FDS boards could be cut into a stylish Doric column effect for the uprights, and the crossbar should be made of distressed oak to lend character and to remind one of mans futile battle against time.
Everyone Else: Haddaway and sh*te you great jessie! Is he caalling wor pint a poof?
L L-B: The ball itself should no longer be a dull black and white panelled affair, but should be a rich and racy shade of plum. The panels should each be a miniature bas-relief of a Romantic Poet. What this loses in aero-dynamic qualities is more than made up for in high- brow culture The Chairman: Gi us that bliddy mic! Enough of this soft sh*te, on with the draw.

The eye is immediately drawn to the top of the table clash between Greek Toon Tycoons and Stephs Superstars, but can MacBeths Marauders make it three in a row by overcoming ITK World Beaters they have already proved that the league has no bearing in a cup game. These matches will be played on Friday. We now leave you from Willington Quay, where Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen is getting his car redecorated and has had a bit of a makeover.

********Game 25******** 28 December 1996, Spurs at SJP. 7-1. Dont tell me you dont remember how it happened! The game that did for Keegan because he felt really sorry for Jerry Francis or some such claptrap. Huh! The rest of us thought it was great and loved every minute of it. Hopefully Spurs will have a complex about playing at SJP around Christmas time after this seasons little 6-1 spanking.

Toon Goons reach a new high whilst Riks Rovers suffer a serious reverse. Screachers Creatures, Tantric Toon and Cliffs Corinthian Casuals all benefit from this fall from grace. Stephs Superstars are amking a serious bid for the title having cut the lead to 4 points, but still have a potential 10 point penalty hanging over them for continued outbursts against the Chairman; good behaviour is all that can save her now. Pilgrims Converts are now a full 13 points adrift and look to be doomed, whilst Houston Ferrets United must do everything in their power to avoid being overtaken by Windy Wanderers.

Howay Softie man.Shake yer balls!
Of course we're doomed. 7 of the last 8 matches must have come from 1996 - 7. - Might be more , might be less, but you're giving all the points to the same teams. I mean in the last 6 games you've awarded Albert 13 Barton 11 Lee 11 Gillespie 10 Ferdinand 10 Ferguson 11 Shearer 14 That's 80 points between 7 players during which time my entire squad of 21 players has scored 45 (and I've got Shearer!)
Get 'em shaken! (We're still doomed) :o)))

Softie, a slightly more serious point.If subs get double points for scoring, why are you awarding them 6 points instead of 4 (i.e. 2 x 2)? I lost you're rules when the old BBS went down.
-- Anonymous, March 14, 2000
Strikers get 2 points for a goal, midfielders get 3 points and defenders get 7. Presumably the 6 points for scoring from the bench was awarded to a midfielder.....either that or I just screwed up. You can have your money back if you like ;-)

Of course they couldnt. 2 great Ferdinand goals later and it was all over. One of them bounced straight off the talismanic Number 9 after he charged down a Kharine goal kick and into the back of the net. Classic!

Stephs Superstars resume the top spot from Greek Toon Tyconns with veteran midfielder Robert Lee and Shaka Hislop making the difference. Scratchys Scrotums, MinesaS&N Academicals, Screachers Creatures, Cliffs Corinthian Casuals and Riks Rovers are all on the march, while Beardo United and How Toon is Now both suffered sharp reverses. Houston Ferrets United are still clinging to their lead over Windy Wanderers by the slenderest of margins, while positions 3 13 seem to be in almost constant flux. The top two have pulled away even further and the Pilgrims have lost even more ground, but there is never a dull day in the Corinthian League.

********GAME 27********** QPR at Loftus Road on 14 October 1995, 3-2 to NUFC. Current Mackem reserve Dichio was the scorer of the first goal which saw us 1-0 down at halftime, but Dizzie scored almost from the restart. The future Mackem scored again and Big Les Ferdinand reminded his previous supporters why he had cost us 6million quid when he raced through and blasted an absolute screamer into the back of the net whilst being fouled by two defenders. The keeper was well advised not to get in the way of that one. To send the travelling fans home smiling, a QPR player decided to pass back to his keeper without checking whereabouts the goalie was situated first. This resulted in Gillespie skipping into the box and slotting home his second from 2 yards whilst the keeper swore at his colleague on the edge of the 18 yard box where he had gone to collect the backpass. Happy days.

Once again the middle section of the table is thrown into disorder by some amazing results. Riks Rovers pulled off a stunning victory over Wallsend Old Boys whose fall from grace allowed MinesaS&N Academicals, Screachers Creatures and How Toon is Now to climb the table. Elsewhere, Athletico Backworth put their early season nightmare behind them and climb to a dizzy fourteenth and wonder on what might have been. The Toon Goons climbed to third in a bid to take that vital European place although second looks a little beyond them. Other teams to feel the chill were ITK World Beaters, Scratchys Scrotums, Beardo United and Bartons Samba, who look to be slipping back into the dogfight on the relegation trapdoor. The Converts are now 27 points adrift but going down smiling; at least they are better off than the Howdon Harriers who were removed from the league, who would currently be 8 points clear at the top were they still in it.

Team Result Team Greek Toon Tycoons 2-3 Stephs Superstars Beardo United 3-1 Scratchy's Scrotums Borussia Canwehaveourballbach 1-3 Wallsend Old Boys MacBeth's Marauders 1-2 ITK World Beaters
No replays necessary this time. Stephs Superstars beat Greek Toon Tycoons on their own patch, and the trend continued with Borussia Canwehaveourballbach and MacBeths Marauders succumbing to visiting teams (Wallsend Old Boys and ITK World Beaters respectively). The one home side to really raise their game was Beardo United who delighted their home fans with a thrilling 3-1 win over Scratchys Scrotums, for whom the heady days at the start of the season when they were top of the league must seem a century ago.
The source games for the scores were Tranmere in the FACup 1997-8 (Shearer), Leicester Home 1998-9 (Glass) and Coventry A 1997-8 (Lee and Barnes).
The draw for the Semi Final has thrown up the following ties:These ties will be played next Friday.

********GAME 29********** I need a new random number generating website. Last game was the poxy Mackems, now we get St*v*n*g* B*r**gh under King Kenny on 25 Jan 1998. The fact that we have lost in the Cup to crap sides in the past was no excuse for trying to make them look good and the off the field goings on were staggering. The Sun did a real job on us after becoming SBs promoters but sadly our boss decided to break from his usual course of saying nothing at all to saying way too much. The football match itself actually featured a goal-a-piece, but it was all sort of overlooked at the time.

A little wobble from Screachers Creatures, but they remain in the top half of the table. The real talking point is that MacBeths Marauders have leapfrogged Windy Wanderers, with none of the five teams above guaranteed safety yet its all still to play for (except you Pilgrim, although the launch of the Corinthian Premier League next season gives you a chance of remaining in the top flight anyway).

Aaah! Thats more like it. Southampton at SJP, 16 January 2000. The game was effectively over in 5 minutes, and in stark contrast to Sunday, the ONLY player to be booked was Mark Hughes, then fouling in red and white stripes. Big Dunc stuffed them with two goals in the first 4 minutes, with Nobby adding another and Sotton providing an own goal to deny Dyer before the break. We could and should have gone in at 10-0 to the good, and the bogs were full of whingers who dont know when they are well off. We ONLY added a fifth through Dabizas in the last 10 minutes, but a good day out was had by all.

Screachers Creatures little wobble is starting to look more worrying as they drop another two places. Cliffs Corinthian Casuals share the worry whilst Bartons Samba are the in-form side. Its a constantly changing situation, however, when you consider that 10 points either way will see Athletico Backworth in 11th place or relegated.

******** BBSCLFA Cup SEMI FINAL******
The much anticipated (by me, anyway) Semi Finals are finally upon us:A real upset here, as the seemingly invincible Stephs Superstars crashed out of the Cup at the hands of Beardo United whose talismanic skipper Peter Beardsley thrashed both goals passed the hapless Superstars keeper.
Team Result Team ITK World Beaters 2-0 Wallsend Old Boys Beardo United 2-0 Stephs Superstars
Also enjoying home advantage were ITK World Beaters who dispatched the Wallsend Old Boys by the same scoreline and, incredibly, through the same scorer. The World Beaters manager has not endeared himself to the general public, however, through his use of mind-games and other Taggart-style trickery, and it seems fairly certain that the neutrals will be rooting for Beardo United in the Final at Kingston Park.
The source data for the goals was: Liverpool H 98-99 (Guivarch), Blackburn A 98-99 (no scorer) and Oldham A 95-96 (Beardsley x 2, Ferdinand, Peacock).

3 October 1999, SJP, Boro got a possing. 2 goals for Shearer, Pallister knocked out cold by Schwarzer, Deane pulled one back for the visitors in the last minute via blatant use of the arm. The handful of visiting mutants were treated to rousing choruses of Whats it like to see the sun? and Sit down, if you interfere with your children (or something like that). Even a round of Whered you park your minibus since despite the media telling us it was a North East derby, not many Boro fans had managed to make the journey. Still, I suppose its local in the way that Arsenal always check Brightons score on the way out of Highbury.

Having been knocked out by ITK World Beaters in the Cup, Wallsend Old Boys look like doing their utmost to catch them in the League. Tantric Toon are the other big climbers with Bartons Samba continuing to chip away at the places above. It was another bad week for Screachers Creatures, with MinesaS&N Academicals matching their slide with Riks Rovers and How Toon is Now also suffering a reverse. Blissfully unaware of the activity around them, Beardo United and Cliffs Corinthian Casuals held station whilst their neighbours throttled one another. Only six games to go and theres all to play for even Pilgrims Converts who have closed the gap on Windy Wanderers and might manage to avoid the wooden spoon yet.

SoftieHow many tickets do the two finalists get....I don't want to start a drought on them so that I can make a killing on the black market....otherwise the committee might block my supply next year,
People are starting to demand that I make some tickets available through the Supperfluous Club but I need to know if I will have enough to supply the demand of my Season Ticket holders.
I was thinking about making it available as a beam back into the Plastic Club and the 1999 Bar at the ground.....
I also need to know how long I have got before the final to bring out my commemorative Cup Final Strip....old Aunty Betty is in full flight making them in the back shed, but I need to know if I have to employ some helpers for her to get all these strips knocked out. I pay them about #30 quid a strip, but then those dipsticks in the club shop pay me a wacking #29.50 for it....daft fools...
I'm beginning to worry about that shop mind....I think Uncle Bert has got his hand in the till. No matter how many shirts Aunty Betty makes he sell them all, but I'm out of pocket......any suggestions anyone.

********GAME 33**********
22 December 1999, SJP, Replay of Round 3 FA Cup v Spurs.A magnificent performance. Particularly sweet for veterans of the WHL encounter where the humourless Spurs fans spread the Christmas spirit so very thinly. Daveeed had ensured that SJP would be in good voice, and several sherberts in Bar Oz took care of the rest. The atmosphere was white hot with NUFC showing their intent from the off. Barton knocked a long ball to the soaring Ferguson at the far post who headed it down for Speed to score the opener. Bedlam! Dabizas forced one in from a corner and it began to feel like the start of something special. Then the diving French git stayed on his feet long enough to defelct a ball off Lee to sail into the back of our net and celebrated as though it was intentional. Almost immediately, however, a Shearer strike was pushed away by the feckless and ugly Ian Walker for Big Dunc to smash it home. He treated the silent cockneys to a magnificent gurning display and told them several perfectly reasonable home truths. After the break, Dyer came on and immediately set off on a run which he capped with the most beautiful ball threaded between almost all the Spurs players and in at the far post. Our rapture was complete when Al slotted home a pen and nodded one in to make damned sure that we had a brilliant Christmas. The papers, 606 and Danny Kellys F365 were clogged with wailing cockneys going on about their disgraceful team, whilst anyone with half a brain was aware that a far better side had simply kicked the sh*te out of them. Happy, happy night.

Sensational news. An amazing display by Pilgrims Converts has seen them move off the bottom of the table at the cost of Windy Wanderers. Having seemed to be completely out of touch, the Converts have quietly reeled in the teams above and are looking for a final push in the last 5 games of the season. Elsewhere, Athletico Backworth have reached the dizzy heights of thirteenth, whilst How Toon is Now and Riks Rovers also advance to the detriment of Screachers Creatures, Bartons Samba and Tantric Toon. The World Beaters are also a single point behind Toon Goons, with ITKs troops showing no sign of a pre- Cup Final bad patch.

Been away on my stag weekend, but glad to come back to the fab news that I am in the Cup Final. When is the big game gonna be played? If it clashes with my big day (14 April), I may have to think hard about my priorities...
-- Anonymous, March 27, 2000
There are 5 League games to go, so it will most likely be next week unless I start doubling up the fixtures to simulate end-of-season fixture congestion. Should always be a break before the Cup, so it'll definitely be next week though. 2-0 against the League leaders, eh? Shame we only managed the opposite the two times we tried it recently. :-(

It just keeps getting more hectic. The World Beaters have succeeded in overtaking Toon Goons, How Toon is Now have regained some lost places, Bartons Samba, Tantric Toon and Athletico Backworth all made gains whilst THE talking point of the day is MacBeths Marauders have leapt out of the relegation zone at the expense of Houston Ferrets United. Other managers heard muttering about sloppy goals were Beardo, muzzainoz, Rik and Cliff. Still all to play for folks.

A bit of tit-for tat here today, with Toon Goons and ITK World Beaters and Beardo United and How Toon is Now swapping places again. However, Tantric Toon and Riks Rovers have been leap-frogged by Athletico Backworth, one time table-propers, now soaring to 11th. In the basement, meanwhile, Windy Wanderers will be horrified by Pilgrims Converts increasing the gap to 14 points, and Houston Ferrets United and MacBeths Marauders are doubtless looking over their shoulders.

Typical - you pick my birthday for a game and JDT scores....what are the chances of that happeninig? (considering I was born 22nd Nov and not 29th Feb). The depression of playing out the season knowing suspensions are going to put pay to the euro places.

Some more last minute jockeying for position after the third last league game of the season, with the most noteworthy change being Houston Ferrets United AGAIN overtaking MacBeths Marauders leaving Josh to face the angry fans in the drop zone. MinesaS&N Academicals swapped with Bartons Samba, Tantric Toon exchanged positions with Athletico Backworth (although this surprisingly only took 90mins rather than the usual 5 hours) and Cliffs Corinthian Casuals displaced Riks Rovers.

How are you handling ticket distribution for the cup final? Are you just splitting them between the two teams or will I be able to get a corporate hospitality offering?
-- Anonymous, March 30, 2000
Hmmm. Not sure, which has the bigger earnings potential for the BBSCLFA? We owe it to the fans to see to it that we maximize our profits to ensure that we have the most able people managing the league. What do you mean "cock-eyed logic"?

Re Tickets for the Final:Segregation must come into it....I don't want my hard lads trying to mix it with that soft shower on the other side of the ground.
I reckon 30% each with the remaining 30% going to the others and as maths was never my strongest point, Softie and me can Leicester the rest with with impunity as Softie makes the rules anyway.
Does that suit everyone?

The only other place I could suggest you might get tickets from would be by sending an E Mail to tony.cottee@leicester.city.football.club and see if he can help out.

********GAME 37**********
4 December 1999, Villa Park, 1-0 to the Toon. A gritty performance where YBR fielded a back three in which Helder and Dumas were outstanding. They kept a determined Villa (complete with Dublin) at bay and mopped up plenty of errors. Our moment came after an extended period of NUFC pressure when a wonderful Ketsy cross met Big Dunc for the inevitable. Yin immediately ran after Shearer and planted a big smacker on him, which had become a bit of a feature in recent games. Probably one of our best performances of the season, as our away record had been pretty measly before hand.

The biggest grudge-match of the season seems to be the fight between Bartons Samba and MinesaS&N Academicals for that all important 9th place (the cachet for being a team in single-figure places has not lost its allure outside Scotland). Once again they have swapped places, which should mean that muzzainoz retakes the place in the final game of the season to be played later on today. Cliffs Corinthian Casuals have suddenly heard the wake-up call and are making a desperate last-minute dash for the top half of the table, leaving Tantric Toon and Athletico Backworth eating dust. At the bottom, MacBeths Marauders still have to make up a two point shortfall to avoid the drop, but Houston Ferrets United are not likely to give in without a fight. Stay tuned to read all about the end of season games as we reach the climax of our inaugural season of the BBS Corinthian League.

5 January 1997, Charlton, FACup, the Valley Keegans last game in charge? I think so. Rob Lees homecoming was all the news, and the occasion got to him a bit as he scuffed some early chances. He finally put one away, but needed 2 goes at it. 15 minutes to go and of course Kinsella equalised; from his reaction, it was clearly the winning goal in the World Cup. It took fog on the Tyne to get by them in the replay at SJP.

No last day surprises except for Tantric Toon indignantly reclaiming 11th place from Cliffs Corinthian Casuals. As expected, Stephs Superstars ran away with it in the end, finishing an incredible 29 points in front of the Greek Toon Tycoons. Indeed, the Tycoons did well to hold off the strong challenge of Toon Goons to hold onto second place. No miracles at the foot of the table, as the Marauders, Converts and Wanderers face the prospect of life in the lower divisions. Athletico Backworth win the special NUFC award for sitting at the bottom of the table for 3 months, shooting upwards and eventually trundling in in 13th place.
Hang on a moment, we are just receiving reports that a delegation of BBSCL managers have lodged an official complaint against Stephs Superstars for 3 separate outbursts of Taggartliness. If the maximum fine of 10 points per incident is invoked, we could have the Champions trophy going to the Greek Toon Tycoons. Apparently the Chairman of the BBSCLFA is unavailable for comment, although he is willing to consider arguments in the Strawberry tomorrow. All delegations should conform to the standard liquid measure of 1 pint, and might need several perusals ;-)

I shall be publishing the full set of statistics on this season AFTER I have all the entries for the new season (I can't help feeling that the sides will all look remarkably similar otherwise).
I hope to advertise the new points system etc over the weekend for the new Corinthian PREMIER League (not that that will be of much interest to those in the Corinthian Notionless League). Don't forget that there will also be the Cup Final next week to get us in the mood for Wembley.

Cherche la femme Softie, be aware of any evil tricks Steph may pull on you. 30 points are indeed a fair amount if not a bit conservative! Don't be pursuaded, she has the unfair advantage being on the better side of the atlantic (plus a couple of other advantages, also unfair).
-- Anonymous, March 31, 2000
A fantastic comp - great fun. Can't wait for next season. However, we at Barton's Samba feel that the fixture overload clearly cost us top spot in the league and are considering withdrawing from the cup to help Corinthian's chances of hosting the world cup in 2006 whilst protecting our brightest young and mostly none English talent from excessive fatigue. And let's be fair, is it right to ask our players to play over 40 games a season on only 50k a week? Hang on, the world championship has been cancelled - we want back in to the cup... tv deals, merchandising (three strips for next season plus a special one for the cup)...etc etc
