Afternoon all.

It is my sad duty to report that inspite of Lord Snooty's fiscal policy of spending as little money in public as possible, rampant inflation has hit this thread to the tune of 566.667% in the past week alone.

In addition to the minor upward trend following the debacle that was the PNE game in midweek, inflationary pressure generated from an influx of Midlander's into the Northern Powerhouse has sent this weeks figures rocketing skywards.

AmChaff finally got the dream of a reward for a penalty save, but alas that was last seasons policy. She did however make up for that when Yuto Mt. Fujiyama headed home a lump of volcanic rock that was too hot for the Stoke keeper to handle. This along with a goal from Smoke's very own Baker man meant ritchies policy pitched in with another fine pair. It was the same Baker man that had his penalty brilliantly saved by young Mr. Nicholls, formerly of Benchwarmer Avenue, Milton Keynes. Who'd wanna be a Baker man eh?

SHEP's policy kept the inflationary pressure heading north when that man Jordan Rhodes tapped into an empty net after the "Normanton Messi" as he is known by some had sat the keeper on his arse.

Unfortunately it is my own policy of attracting investment from the Midlands that has resulted in the largest increase with 3 points and 3 goals accounting for £6 of that inflationary figure. I have to warn that it will be the end of the month at least before my policy will start to bring inflation back down to more normal levels.
