Jones replaces Chairman
13. Can it be unlucky for some? It was for the Chairman this week as Courage Haddock picked up a baker’s dozen to supplant Mount Morget Gas in third place. Two assists from Ramsay gave notice that the Arsenal midfielder is back in town.
Alex Chapman and his Chadwick-Freak Or Unique? Have had a quiet season so far, starting off gently as if getting over a heavy session the night before. However, a 14-point week for the Long Ashton outfit will have bolstered spirits – six of them from van Persie – though that assists tally – just two to date – will be a cause of concern.

Croom on top; Chairman rises to third!
Only one team into double figures last week as the points fell away as defences slipped up here, there and everywhere. Five goals from Mr Croom’s Matty the Camel HIC were besmirched slightly by his defence, but his 11pts put him nine points clear at the top.
Somehow, the Chairman managed to move up to third after his defence dropped 11pts. Fortunately, Defoe and Zamora were on song at the other end of the park to bag another 12pts. I can’t recall a more topsy-turvy week for Mount Morget Gas.
It’s all very close throughout the division – Liversalts aside, of course – though it is heartening to see Blue Army down in a relegation spot after a limp minus tow this week. Long may that continue!

Camels smokin’
It was a high-scoring week for several of the teams in the Nursery and Paul Fogg must be looking anxiously over his shoulder now as the chasing pack gather pace. That said, Leedslads are still top of the third division, albeit by a slightly superior goals scored tally. Paul Fogg’s men still produced a top-notch display thanks to Aguero’s 9pts, but it is close.
20pts from Matty The Camel HIC moved Ian Croom up to second place, Rooney providing almost half of the points for the Kingswood club and Adebayor getting his first goal for his new club.
Blue Army had a quieter week by comparison, but 15pts was still laudable from the new boys. 6pts from Hernandez will have cheered Marcus Downs – if the Mexican features on a regular basis in the ManYoo team, points ar e almost guaranteed.
The Chairman moved out of the bottom half of the table for the first time this season, up to fourth after a 19-point week that included no fewer than TWO clean sheets from his Arsenal defenders. Is the corner turned? Seven points from new boy Jones at ManYoo was a most unexpected and welcome addition to the points tally. Mount Morget Gas up to fourth. Haven’t said that for a long time!

Nursery still finding their feet
The league’s third division still seems remarkably hesitant after the first two fixtures. With no team getting into double figures, only 11pts separate the top from the bottom. Is this an early clue that this division promises to be closer than elsewhere?
Paul Fogg has held onto top spot after his initial gift of goals from Aguero. 5pts this week, just enough to keep his nose in front; all of those came from Bent.
Top scorer this week: Courage Haddock. 9pts from Ben Jones’s men included 6pts from his Man City contingent: Silva and Dzeko.
A poor week for Alex Chapman: 0pts included a clean sheet from Smalling, wiped out by no fewer than three of his defence. And he still has that awful team name.

Fogg declares intentions
Aguero and Fogg. Not a combination that instantly springs to mind, but Paul Fogg has leapt out of the blocks to maintain the push he started last term. At this rate he will be in the top flight in two years. Well, we can all dream, Paul. Still, 17pts is a blistering start and seven more than me.
Elsewhere in the Nursery, Blue Army also began confidently, though not a goal has hit the net yet. Three clean sheets and three assists, though, is enough to keep the spirits up. The Chairman, meanwhile is hoping that Young may be awarded a goal eventually for that deflection.
A slow start was the order of the day for Liversalts FC. Just 8pts is pedestrian, but who can afford to take their time with so much at stake?
