The Man in the Stand

Just in Time bounce back to claim top spot again and shake of the Christmas curse for the time being.

With only 13 games left, the season still has many twists and turns ahead that will test all of the teams in the coming weeks.

The next round of the Cup has been drawn and can be seen on the website. Check to see if you have made it through to the last 16.

Next Saturday is also the opening of the next transfer window so if your looking to get rid, then next week is the opportunity to do so.

With another matchless weekend due next week maybe now is the time to take stock of your squad. Some new players have come into the lists but I expect a last minute rush of transfers leading up to the end of the month. Our Window opens again on the 4th Feb and should include any new players as well as any players that have moved. So take stock now and prepair to make those changes that will see you through the remaining weeks ready to make your final challenge for that top spot.

We have had the next round of the cup this weekend and have only 32 teams left in for the next round. Have you made it through? Check your teams result and see which team you have drawn in the next round. Matches are due to be played Feb 11th 2012.

With only one game this week few points have been available,but with a full programe in the coming week normal service will return .

We also have the next round of Cup matches this week end so it's vital you gain as many points as possible to move into the next round.

Last week saw a lot of activity in the transfer market and the next window will open at the end of the month again.Some new players have arrived T Henry has already made his mark and with R Keane joining A/Villa the next transfer window may have quite a few new faces on the players lists.

With double games this week the points tally has gone up and the top team have bagged a hatful.

Our leader Just in Time is now only has a 35 point lead over The Nobbies and with only 200 points between the top ten teams the new year promisses to be one of the most exciting we have ever had .

The Christmas curse is still closeing in on the top team and may well strike any day now pushing them from the top spot ,but for now the garlic is working for them .The next round of the Cup is due to take place from the 14th Jan so you need to consider all options as the next transfer window will be to late for this round.Next we only have one game so get all your Spurs and Everton Players of the Bench.

What a weekend Cup competition down to the last 64 teams. Did you buy to get you through the round and will you be making more changes come the January window? Mambo Italiano has hit the snake square and slid down the table to 5th place last week, after leading everyone a merry dance for some weeks. I expect a renewed challenge this week from the Mambos. So as we go into Christmas week one of our lady managers is hitting the top spot and preparing to repel all raiders.

This weeks table will label our Christmas curse team, which in previous years no team has managed to win the league after being top at Christmas . Will this year see that curse broken or will the curse strike again?

As for moving house 2 weeks before Christmas, I can only recommend that you DON'T DO IT!!!!!!! It's been chaos but the focus is back on for the rest of the season.

Merry Christmas to all Managers and good luck for 2012.
