[Devongone]

I thought Snoot's idea of splitting into two divisions was unnecessarily complicated and pointless, and now here we are rushing towards the end of the season and I am top of Division 2 on alphabetical order and a whole two points clear of fourth place where I'm quite happily destined to finish. If this were a horse race it would be the handicapper's dream result. The pundits can't stop talking about OUR title race. Take a bow Lord Snooty. Division Two is truly the Secondary Modern of Prediction.

Amelia was easily the closest on that one!!

I'm thinking of banning myself from playing jokers. I may be wrong but I think I've dropped more points this mini-season than I've gained with the bloody things. Certainly over the last few weeks, and AmChaff should get a special bonus point for getting the correct goal difference in the L666s match, but that's not my decision and it's a bit late to change the rules.

[Lord Snooty]

Division One results for Matchday 17: It's all done bar the shouting at the top of the league table. Just when it counts, the defending champion St Charles Owl has come out with a fantastic penultimate week scoreline. He's clocked up 28 points, with nearest rivals Lord Snooty and jjamez only scoring 12 and 10 respectively, it's a massive 21 point lead for SCO going into the final Matchday.

He had three correct scores, a correct joker and two scorers in his total, whereas Snooty plumped for Leeds to win at QPR for his joker.

Themaclad, who only survived the relegation Play Offs last season with a late surge that ultimately sent theo down, has done it again this time around. He's had an excellent run of form, after being in the bottom two until very recently. And now he's up to 3rd, overtaking jjamez and with a very realistic chance of taking Snooty's runners up position. He also had three correct scores and a correct joker in his 24 points total. He's now only 5 points behind Snoots.

While themaclad has been having a great run, Baggie Bob has been having a terrible one. He only scored four points this week and with ritchiebaby getting 14, he's in danger of falling into the automatic relegation place. Ritchie is now only five points behind him.

Division Two results for Matchday 17: It's advantage to Shep in the quest for promotion to the First Division. He's had a magnificent 30 point haul in this penultimate Matchday, which included four correct scores and a correct joker.

In second place going into the final week it's neonfoxinthebox, who scored 20 points (which included an 8 point joker) and is 9 points behind Shep. Devongone and theo the luddite are tied for third place after both scoring well below the other two promotion contenders. Theo scored 10 and Devon only 8 as the closeness of last week's top four has been shattered. Those two are now 12 behind neon for the Play Off place and 21 behind Shep.

At the other end, it looks like a wooden spoon for Amelia, which she doesn't like. She simply can't abide them. Well, she's now 16 points behind Wakey and needs a cracking last week to avoid it.
