I take your point, but Christopher was correct.

Oh, assumed you were referring to 5th place in this year's premier league potentially qualifying for the Champions league.

Yes, as CK said.

After this week's results England is already behind Germany in the race for a fifth spot. To reverse it I think Aston Villa have to win both legs of their semi-final, and the final, and hope that the three German teams left lose virtually all their remaining games.

I think it's actually the Germans losing every match from what I read, which is unlikely enough, let alone Villa winning every match

Just shows that not even wrecking the game for everyone else is enough to make them successful

Week 34

"i enjoy nights like tonight" Sean Dyche after Everton thwart Liverpool's title ambitions.

As if by magic............Mark Leonard appears! Into Week 34 and suddenly from nowhere Mark scores 151 points and is overall leader after not appearing in the top five prior to this. It was a huge week for those who got it right with dozens of managers in triple figures courtesy of Free Hit and Bench Boost chips. Even those who haven't been paying any attention managed to reach these heady heights because of double matches for a number of clubs. Melvin Pool scored a magnificent 176 points whilst Neil Pennock a less than impressive 14 points as low scorer again.

1 McAtee Associates Mark Leonard 151 2181
2 Mostly Clevedon David Egginton 100 2177
3 Cunha Feel It? Thomas Evans 110 2167
4 What means this? Kaia Means 140 2158
5 Aimless Wanderers John Peters 111 2156

Finally Top score of the week was 217 points - but to achieve this 15 transfers were used.
