[tikay]

I got this.

How is Camel doing?

And Dylan?

I think you need to start looking at the top end of the table

I am one ahead of you...

No fallers as yet although one or two are looking a little out of puff.

This really is pleasant reading.

Camel & Dylan both tailed off, if you look carefully, you can just about see them both in this photo (top right).

So, when do we have to send our selections for tomorrow in by?

I'm just guessing here but is it 6am this morning?

PS How much do you owe me?

Never had you biting first

As for the debt, I think it's minus one Ayrtons

You're right I'm deffo losing it, either that or Ironside has hacked my mind.

I will obviously be subtracting £x per derogatory Arsenal gif from the debt which is mounting up rather nicely.

More Xs than a spot the ball coupon

Fair play to you Tal bloke, that's a wonderful gif.

Updates will be forthcoming as soon as play gets underway.
Don't be shy about asking for me to post the latest table if you think that you may have made a move.
It's always nice to see your name in lights.

Think I'm going to be one of two:

Mid position, hampered early, never settled, ridden, lost touch 5 out.

That or

Mid position, held 3 out, moved 2nd 1F out, ran on, won by a nose.

Can I have an update of the table as it now stands, please?

It's not for me, you understand - Camel & Dylan were too embarrassed to ask.

When do the transfers kick in?....this round or the next?

I will be busy at work again today *cough*....so will catch up with how far I am ahead of Tikay, later on this evening.

Do you ever think of entering these things for 'fun' Vince, so you can get some serious rubs in, when you smash the field?

I was going to make a smart-arse comment about having as many transfers as you like on Monday but I guess there's a chance they might still be playing.

I get all my fun from seeing everyone else's efforts. It's much easier when you don't have to put your own opinions on the line.
I wouldn't know one end of a horse from the other and I can't claim any deep insight into the golf either.
If we ran a competition for this:

I might stand a chance.

Ricoh.....used to sponsor Stoke City....back in the day. For that reason alone, I might watch a bit of that

I'm sure that there will be lots of twists and turns before the competition is over.
No need to give up hope yet.
