Week 28: Draw

Image
A drawing of a drawer You can't take your eye of that Bielby [Mr] for a moment can you? As soon as everyone turns their backs on an FA Cup week, the solitary Premiership fixture in that week only goes and gifts the gaffer a goodly and great 10 points. Not only does this gift give again in the form of a Manager of the Week Certificate but it also presents Livercoolio a lift into Second Place. A mere 13 points behind the current leaders, Pyeators. We'd better be careful here... this might start to become 'exciting'.

Not only does this signify that the end of the season is hovering just below the horizon but it also means that the rest of the managers had better get a boogie on if they're going to challenge for this most prestigious of prizes. Smasher of Inter Milandrover fame has got the message and has recently put on a lethargic spurt to claim Second Place in the table. Three paragraphs in and still no jokes, gags or smile-worthy funniness.  With shoulders slumping in embarrassed dejection, we make our way towards the exit, tossing the last crumpling of ne

Gotta go bye Alun Edwards takes the Manager of the Week biscuit this week after Radnorshire Tigers clipped in 29 points pushing themselves up four places and back into the to p ten. Now if you'll excuse us while an increasingly challenging nearly-2 year old boy drunkenly waves a pair of scissors over his sister's face, we'll be back next week.
