"Nani knows he can’t be inconsistent one week, good the next" - Charlie Nicholas

HEADLINES: WEEK 17

Suffolk man ups the anti and closes the gap at the top to just two points. Phew!

Annihilationism have been good boys in this world and Santa brings lots of points - a huge 90. Up 10 places. Wow!

There must be something in the ECF Code of Practice about littering. Dustcarts for Lawrence Cooper and Thomas Rendle each with an itty-bitty 19.

At the bottom the Dancing Monkey is now 101 points adrift - Cha-cha-cha!

Beckham is no rocket surgeon - from the BBC’s Paddy O’Connell

HEADLINES: WEEK 18

It's disaster for Ben Edgell in his bid to finish with zero points as super unknown defender Karim Rekik defends for 6 points

At the top Andrew Harley top scores with 73 and accelerates clear of his rivals

Rubbish score of the Week belongs to young Paul Waddingham with a miniature 29

At the bottom a mini-recovery from Mike Lamb - he's now just 98 points away from his nearest rival

"My wife told me when I woke up this morning how jolly I looked. I told her 'that's because I can't wait to get out of the house and in to work, love'. I'd best go home and apologise now" - another gem from Ian Holloway

WEEK 19: BOXING DAY HEADLINES

Andrew Harley stretches his lead to 34 points over the Tractor Boy

Alex Holowczak scores a massive 83 and moves up 11 places to 29th

Probably the most rubbish churned out by any team this season - a 10 for Charlie Linford

At the bottom poor old Mike Lamb falls further back in the walking race for the wooden spoon

"You can't say my team aren't winners. They've proved that by finishing, fourth, third and second in the last three years" - Gerard Houllier

WEEK 20 HEADLINES

Little change at the top - Andrew Harley and Richard Pert continue to fight it out

Top score from Mark Birkin's Stars and Tripe -a magnificent 72

The DreamTeam have another nightmare with a rubbish 16

At the bottom the Dancing Monkey has a good week, but remains a distant last

Finally, Ben Edgell has lost the plot - another 2 points this week no help in his bid to finish on zero

"We must have had 99 per cent of the match. It was the other three per cent that cost us." Ruud Gullit giving 102%

WEEK 21 HEADLINES

It's as you were at the top - the 'whiteout' team in third are non-chess-playing ringers and don't really count.

Three managers topped 80 points - Alan Tate, Adam Hunt and Nigel Wright - but Alan Tate takes the sugar with a brilliant 85 and moves into 5th

Siddharth Swaroop takes the refuse (again) with a poor 26 and coincidently drops to 26th place, with exactly 1000 points

Just thought I'd mention Ken Morrison's 999 overall score - very nice.

At the bottom Mike Lamb scores a pretty good 57 and is now (just) 80 points behind a flagging Matt Turner

Does Neil Graham as our patron hold any power to kick him out now?
I have now had the chance to review the entry of Dayne Macartney; I am satisfied having reviewed the other leagues he plays in that he fails to fulfil the conditions of the League (ie the name is clearly a pseudonym) and he has been removed. The League was closed to new entries in December. Incidentally there is no need to be ECF graded or a member of the ECF to compete. My son, who is neither, is in the League under his own name.

"That's football, Mike. Northern Ireland have had several chances and haven't scored but England have had no chances and scored twice." Trevor Brooking

WEEK 22 HEADLINES

The chrome and steel ride on. He's an unknown legend in his time.

Twelve scores of 80 or more - with Neil Graham's 94 not good enough, as top spot goes Joe Friar with 98.

Rubbish score this week was more of a recycling job for Peter Tart, with a not so dirty 33.

Mike Lamb continues to close the gap on Matthew Turner at the foot of the table - it's down to a diminutive 76

What the hell is Ben Edgell doing? 17 points this week and 13 overall. I assume he's trying to reach a number divisible by 4?

There's plenty of -4's available for excessive transfers albeit now your score doesn't divide by 4 it's a little bit more challenging.

"Today was about our lack of ability to not produce the ability we've got" Sam Allardyce sums it top for chess players everywhere!

WEEK 23 HEADLINES

They thought it was all over - well it isn't now! The Tractor Boy mounts a comeback and there's more chrome and steel creeping up in third

Ice creams with double chocolate flakes for Simon Ansell and Dave Ledger who both score remarkable 99s. They move up to eighth and ninth respectively

Yorkshire miss out in a Week of high scores - Ivor Lewyk makes a meagre 28

No respite for Mike Lamb in the slow race to avoid the wooden spoon. He's now 84 points from safety.

"Playing with wingers is more effective against European sides like Brazil than English sides like Wales" A geography lesson from Ron Greenwood


HEADLINES: WEEK 24

The Tractor takes over again - he last led back in Week 10. The chrome and steel line up in second and third.

Hendrik Hoffmann, a Celtic Tiger, top scores with 76 (with Simon Ansell, a reader of this blurb, second with 72).

Rubbish score this week - slaughtered again it's Mike Lamb with legs 11.

Mike Lamb owns the wooden spoon - but Matthew Turner's sturdy 65 moves him up and leaves Ivor Lewyk in the plastic fork position.

"If history is going to repeat itself I should think we can expect the same thing again." Terry Venables

HEADLINES: WEEK 25

The top two flip-flop again - Andrew Harley leads Richard Pert by six. Gareth Harley-Yeo, Paul Cooksey and Mark Leonard aren't entirely out of it.

Top score, a super-78 by Peter Staneland moves his StatusUnited up to 17th

A really rubbish 16 for Ihor Lewyk at yorkshirechessdotorg (catchy name!)

At the bottom the Dancing Monkey remains adrift, whilst Ihor consolidates his plastic fork position. I'd stick to chess!

"Hopefully Andy Carroll has only tweeted his hamstring" Sam Allardyce explains a modern day football injury

HEADLINES: WEEK 26 (It's been a long one)

Andrew Harley holds on to his narrow lead over Richard Pert. Gareth Harley-Yeo is slowly closing the gap on the two leaders.

Top score a fabulous 104 by Dave Ledger, with James Redburn also making a ton (and Alex Holowczak cops a 99).

Paul "WADS" Waddingham makes a really stinky 22.

At the bottom it doesn't get any better for Mike Lamb, while Matthew Turner, Charlie Linford and Ihor Lewyk are fighting to avoid the plastic fork.
