Now, while Studmarks would love you all to write in and suggest how the above metaphor should be graciously side-stepped and forgotten, we would also like to slip back into frame the point we were trying to make. And that point is Moobchester United. The former League leaders have been mercilessly knocked off the top by losing 5 points this week and collapsing fifteen places down the table into sixteenth.  Unprecedented.  Deserves a certificate of some sort in itself. ...
