Eight weeks into the Premier League season so that means most of us have completed four league and four cup games. Still no news of when the outstanding Spurs v Everton match will be played – but presumably they’ll get round to it eventually.

In Division One reigning champions Ethynol Rangers lead the way on 9 points – but only on goal difference over Varns Vagges who have played a game fewer and still have their 100% record intact. At the bottom, Dimi’s Crusaders are the only team yet to register a point.

The Firm F.C. lead Division Two on 12 points, although both Bruce Almighty and The International Team Salwa also have 100% records having only completed three games apiece. Three teams in this division are still pointless – Logan’s Run from three games while Kuwait Hearts and What’s Going On? have both lost four out of four.

WAFFL newcomers The Schmidtkickers are the early leaders in Division Three after a perfect start to the season – again Abu Dhabi Rovers are three points behind having played a game less. Bottom two Philbert & Wanderus and Manilla Magic are both pointless and goalless thus far.

I won’t go into detail on the latest Cup Group standings – suffice to say it’s a marathon, not a sprint blah blah blah.

An early word of warning – the transfer deadline for Phase 4 originally scheduled for New Year’s Eve has been brought forward by a day due to the Liverpool v Newcastle United game also being brought forward. Also, the actual timing of transfer deadlines now has been changed to 12:00 UK time instead of 07:00.

Loads-A-Money Week 4

Four games into this season’s competition – and we already have one qualifier for the quarter-finals.

Group 1 leaders Ethynol Rangers lost their 100% record in Week 4 with a 4-1 defeat at the hands of The Auckland but are still well placed to qualify with a three-point lead over lead The Auckland and Be Champions.

Ruff Rovers continue to head Group 2 on 8 points but are just a point clear of Degsie’s Demons who themselves are two ahead of The Chairmen. Still plenty to play for in this one!

Speaking of plenty to play for – Group 3 remains the definitive Group of Death with all four teams locked on 6 points. I can see this one being decided in the car-park!

Back to those early qualifiers mentioned above – and it’s Road To Nowhere who continue to power on in Group 4 with the only remaining 100% record. Second placed Connecticut Huskies look certain to join them in the knock-out phase with 7 points to their names – 4 ahead of Varns Vagges in third place.

Next fixtures are on Tuesday 18th/Wednesday 19th October and once again the transfer deadline for this round is at 17:55 BST on Tuesday to accommodate the early kick-off in Moscow between CSKA and Trabzonspor.

ShotsWeb Challenge – post Accrington away

Shall we have a quick update while we’re waiting for ManU ticket details to be announced? Yeah – why not!

Saturday’s defeat at Accy was a disappointment in terms of predictions as well as league points – but Danny’s brace coupled with a predictably low crowd meant there were still a few points around.

14 games into the season and Maxster leads the table with 61 points, just one point ahead of StanleyW and Jet_Set_Willy who in turn are one point ahead of 4th-placed Nobby. All about as tight as you’d like it!

The previous week’s highly disappointing defeat to Creepy Crawley was the bonus match for September – but with nobody scoring the required minimum of 9 points the kitty rolls over to October when a total of £15.00 worth of Pontoon entries will be up for grabs.
