Limping Club hit hot one hundred
Highest scoring team in the entire league, top of the Conference by 23pts, first team to 100pts – is there anything that Trevor Jones can’t do? Um… well he could have picked Demba Ba on the week when he scored a hat-trick? I will say no more, Mr Babykisser.
18 points! From Mr Fincham Jr! Blimey… how did that happen? Ah, three of them came from Torres and another three from Balotelli. Okay, Alan: you can go back to sleep now.
Wags To Witches continue to plough a furrow at the bottom of the league – the only problem is that it is in the same location over and over again, with the net result that they are getting deeper and deeper into trouble. With Rob Foster two point above him Chris Pike knows now, if he didn’t know before that he is in a dogfight to even escape the ignominy of last place. To climb the table must seem like climbing K2 in carpet slippers at this point. A drastic overhaul is required.

Pike pulverized
Other teams in the Conference may have been struggling to stay afloat after a week of defensive leaks, but they can thank their lucky stars that they weren’t in possession of Chris Pike’s mob. MINUS THIRTEEN from Chris’s defence was only moderately improved by a goal and two assists from Defoe. Wags To Witches now lie at the bottom of the pile, bottom of the entire league and even lower than Rob Foster.
Limping Club had a quiet week; just 4pts for Trevor Jones’s team as The Baby kisser took a long weekend holiday break. It could have been worse; Trev’s defence dropped TWELVE points on a weekend that may never see its like again. I can’t recall a week when so many points were dropped by so many top teams in the Premier League.
Gary Linekers Legs XI made some inroads into the Limping Club lead, Sarah Reynolds’s squad recording a 10-point week that was helped to no small amount by Aguero’s brace. He is looking like the bargain of the season to those who could afford him in August.

Sprinting Club Toostokes
At this rate he’ll have to change his team name. We suggest to the above.
A monumental 27-point week for Trevor Jones underlined his superior status at this level as his squad ran amok and gathered plaudits as well as points. The hat-trick from Rooney was the highlight, of course, though a first clean sheet from Mertesacker didn’t go unnoticed, nor did two assists from Silva, who now appears to have found his niche in the English game. With Agbonlahor and Adebayor also scoring, well, it was always going to be Trevor’s week, so well done him. Now get those traffic lights fixed up at the George VI junction fixed Mr Councillor. Then maybe I can get home on an evening…
26pts for Gary Linekers Legs XI ensured Sarah Reynolds kept up with the pace amd opened up a gap at the top of the Conference. 9pts from Aguero and 7pts from ManYoo’s Jones were all that was needed to keep the pot boiling for one of the league’s great underachievers.
12pts for Rainham End Rowdies was an improvement for the South Eastern contingent in this division. Odemwingie scored on his return after injury, so the goals tally might just pick up for Mr Haines.
Wags To Witches continue to struggle this season: just 9pts this week, though perhaps Chris Pike will see this as an improvement. There is a long way to go as yet, but 27pts after five weeks doesn’t look that promising. At least Defoe is back among the points.

Not Limping, but sprinting
The highest score of the week across the entire league went to Limping Club, who now blaze a trail at the top of the Conference. 5pts from Agbonlahor, goals from Anelka, Rooney and Silva, were complemented by clean sheets from Reina and Carragher. Once more Mr Jones appears to have re-found his mojo.
Random Rovers kept up the pace after an 11-point week that saw Guy Paling hold onto second place. With Gary Linekers Legs XI maintaining third spot after a nine-pointer, the top three stayed as they were.
CZOTHAM CRUZADERZ must surely be rueing their auction strategy after a four-point week left Robbo rooted to the foot of the league. Turf out some Zs, Rob; you know you can do it!

World Bore Z
It was a steady start for most of the teams in the Conference, with Guy Paling taking an early lead thanks to his defence; three clean sheets is a solid start to any campaign.
Limping Club got off to their best start in ages with a 15-pointer that owed much to the balance in his team. Three goals against, though – the equal worst defensive start in terms of goals-leaked – will be a worry.
Rob Foster. Or perhaps that should be Rob Fozter. Just six points so far and the tactic behind this squad may be unravelling already. CZOTHAM CRUZADERZ will have to get out of bed in the transfer market soon if they are not to fall into a coma before the end of September. The Z strategy has to go.
