In the words of the late great Freddie: Another One bites The Dust. But what is really mad is that Uncle Avram is still there! (or actually still in football!). What has he got to do to get the sack? (please!!) This week's classic from him was "Don't judge me on points". What next? Matt Cardle saying "Don't judge me on my voice"?
Back to the predictions, and the outcome this week was the closest I can ever remember (and more exciting that the Utd v Arsenal dross), with only 5 pts separating the top 7 scorers. In the end Ed De Burgh eased out Chris Regan and Rod Smith by just one of those pts. None of those are really in the mix and indeed most of this week's top 20 scores came from people down the league, the only exceptions being Lee Riche & Gareth Rossiter, who make up ground on the leader. And it's a new leader with Stuart having hunted down and finally overhauled our leader since week 3, Dec, who had a disastrous week 17 with a score of -33. This means that Stuart has opened up a handy 128 pt lead. Atb, Ciro
