When Will This Madness End?

When Will This Madness End?

Slipping Away?

One of my most haunting childhood memories is watching a film where the hero's outstretched hand fails to save a female character from falling to their death. The hero strains every muscle, his fingertips making the briefest of connections before she slips from his grasp and plummets, screaming in horror down towards her inevitable demise.

I'm guessing this is how the Rook is feeling right now as for the third week he fails to tie up a playoff spot. He left the best Fantasy D on his bench and it cost him the game. It was without doubt the rookies biggest rookie mistake of the season. It could cost him his season.

The Bench Warmers week 13 match up against the Super Swedes now becomes the biggest game of the season since last weeks biggest games of the season.

Let us not forget the Baptists who after spending a week as the leagues worst team now power up the table to become the leagues second worst team.

Unthinkable.

Yoda has slipped to second in Division 2 courtesy of being run over by the Lottery. In a league where even the most pointless of teams refuse to give it up the Lottery handed Yoda his third loss on the spin. Week 13 sees Yoda take on the new Divison 2 leaders the Bone Rocks in what can only be described as, yep, you guessed it, the biggest game of the season so far!

Going To The Wire?

Royales with TD's are currently the leagues form team with four wins on the bounce and this one against divisional rivals the Swedes was huge. The Royales and the Swedes are now tied at 7 & 5 two games behind the Bench Warmers but both have far superior points scored. If the Swedes can turn over the Warmers in Week 13 and the Royales defeat the Baptists this division will go to the wire.

Still Dancing.

The Disco pulled off a big one against an in form French Leader to move to 7 & 5 and second in the division 3 behind 79FC on points scored. This defeat for the Leader leaves their playoffs hopes hanging by the smallest of thread, only a heroic effort can save them now. Defeat to Fear Factory in Week 13 and the Leaders season is done. The Disco face divisional leaders 79FC in Week 13 in what can only be decribed as THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON SO FAR!

A New Leader.

So the Bone Rocks claim top spot in the group of death with just two to go before the playoffs. The Rocks dispatched a disappointing Ttttaylor in week 12 and now take on Yoda in Week 13. But here's the rub. Yoda are currently outscoring their nearest 7 & 5 rival by 140.48 pts, this means that should Yoda fail to win the division and finish tied with any of the leagues chasing pack almost certain to claim the wildcard. The Disco, Bench Warmers, Bones, Royal and 79FC should all be cheering on the green one in Week 13.

One Week Wonders.

The Fear Factory fell from their recording breaking heights of last week and return to earth with a defeat at the hands of 79FC. This win keeps 79 at the top of the division by just 31points. With 79FC matching up against the Disco in Week 13 this divisional has more permutations than my tiny brain can handle.

It's been a whistle stop tour this week but as this most memorable of season's reaches its climax you'd be a fool not to check back this weekend for a full Week 13 preview. One thing's for sure, if your not spending Sunday night in front of a HD TV and a laptop you truly have no soul.

Happy Hoilidays
