I'm sure you must be busy or whatever Scotty but don't confuse the lack of posts on here as a lack of interest, I'm checking regularly to see if there has been an update.

Six leagues each for the Big Two now in what was two very impressive performances, both scoring 14, with TightEnd sneaking it on the tie-break. Rubbish2407 continued to score well and Tal survived the yo-yo. Alverton wasn't so fortunate as he swings back down to the Championship, Waz1892 joined Alverton in being relegated as his spell in the Premier League lasted one season. Definitely a tough league to stay in.

sharplea is back in the big time and scored an impressive 14 to get there and he will be joined by bryceland who scored 10 to earn a crack at the Premier League. Ruud continued his solid form and eased to promotion from League One with stribling following him and in League Two superwomble and Mint Trav took the top two spots respectively.

From Season 13, we will move to a 3 league format.

That's true and he was marked as correct, just that I had to remember all the answers as wasn't doing the results from my own laptop.

Other small note of interest, sharplea would have scored the maximum but got the Chelsea manager question wrong, one of only, I think, 3 people to do so.

[Waz1892]

Twice now in the prem and twice straight back down!

Annoying,  however the parachute money will be used to stablise us ready for another attempt

[TightEnd]

I believe I got two wrong scotty

Oscar Cardoso and Van Nistelrooy were wrong

therefore I am on 13 and not winner of this
