Do I go out and get absolutely wankered or do I do week 18, 19 and 20's N&R FL scores? No, you're right, see you later.
Hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year. Hope to see or speak to you soon.
Happy New Year

My kinda town
I always have trouble getting my Mum a birthday card because they only have 'Mom' cards here. I kind of get used to that because the stupid Yanks can't spell, but what really gets on my goat is Christmas cards.
Could I find a card that said Happy or Merry Christmas on it? Could I diddly. 'Happy Holidays' cards shout. 'Have a wonderful Holiday time' they say inside. Fuck that, holiday to me means a flight, a few beers, some sun and a lie down, not Santa Claus, figgy pudding, holly and the ivy or mince pies.
This country has gotten so ridiculously politically correct that they were even calling the Christmas trees, 'Holiday trees'. What's a fucking Holiday tree. Where do they grow?
Of course the reason American's are afraid to celebrate the real reason of Christmas is that they are frightened to upset minorities, such as Muslims. When the Yanks suddenly started to worry about the welfare of Muslims I never know. "Oops, we musn't pull that Christmas cracker in earshot of that Muslim chap." they say. "But hey we can truly fuck up one of their historic countries for ever, now that's alright, sure...."
Today celebrating Christmas is not just about religion - blimey Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the red-nose reindeer, brussel sprouts, jingle bells were not mentioned in the bible are far as I know, so if people don't want to believe in it, then fine..... get out of the fucking shops and back to work.
And in the meantime America, give us back our Christmas, this PC thing is getting out of hand.

Soozie Quattro
Breaking news 8888 Week 17 scores
I'm a bit behind with the N&R FL, you may have realised, you may have not? However back in the week 17, roughly the first weekend in December (to refresh your memory Charlton lost - oh that doesn't really help does it?), the unthinkable happened.
Suzie Syrett swept to her 4th in 5 weeks MoW award. Another fiver for the lovely young thing from Essex and a charge into a breathtaking 3rd place for Ping Pong Yo-Yo. Suzie scored a massive 78 points - not bad for a week with just one round of games and that is now a masterly 281 points in 5 weeks and a climb of 33 league places. Congrats Sooz.
4 points behind her in week 17 was Ian Kennett. Ian has been in slumber mode all season but dramatically woke up in early December to record a 74 point score - a climb of 11 places for He's not the messiah....
One of the other N&R FL form teams is Californication. Chris is now in 4th after notching 67 points. London Irish scored well too with 63 as did colleague Neil Cryer whose Rochdaletastic who after doing well the week previously moved out of the re-election zone in week 17 after scoring 59.
Other excellent weeks were had by PK's Blue Lagooners (56), Chicago Addick (56), Ken Bates' beard (55) and 2Infinity & beyond (54).

New guard in top 5
Breaking news 8888 Week 17 scores
During the past 2 months the top of the table has had a steady feel to it. Of course Godders and Heppers lead the way but the following group has remained pretty much the same. We did lose Kirsty and Dewberry but names like Wenners, Murray, PK and Plummer have been a regular feature. Until now.
Let me introduce the new guard storming the top of the table and getting ready for a new year's title face-off. Suzie has had a magnificent 5 weeks and is only 3 points behind Heppers in 2nd. Waterman is close behind her in 4th and further down the table look out for Hilary Ryan too who is having a very good first FL season.

Rob Beere disobeying doctors orders!
I don't know how many of you know Rob Beere but when I last worked with him he was under strict orders from the doctor not to do any strenuous activities. This often included insurance but I believe not shagging. Therefore I was concerned to see him recently on video getting up a sweat whilst crooning and dancing to the Euro-disco charts.
See for yourself here.

My kinda town
I was recently in New York and hotel rooms were hard to come by. Anyway they always make us top & tail at Aon so it was less of a problem - although the 6ft 3in young female broker in our team couldn't quite get the measure of our expense restrictions.
The reason, I found out later, for the lack of hotel rooms in the Big Apple was the Annual Country & Western awards (the CMA's).
I found this very strange because New York doesn't seem to me to be the home of Country & Western, I thought it was all Rap and RnB, but hey what does an old bloke like me know who still lusts after the Flock of Seagulls.
In fact I find the whole Country & Western thing strange. Who actually listens to that depressive crap, with old blokes with pony tails, tight Levi's and leather boots? Ok, apart from Francey?
Songs tend to be about dead folk, lost loves and riding horses. This is an actual example of a chorus from CMA winners Brooks & Dunn:
Says he was in the war when in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
How ya keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled....
Cheery, eh? Anyway's also fancied myself as a songwriter, so have applied for a transfer to Tennessee and will write a bit of Country & Western in my spare time. This is my first shot:
Get home from work
Found out my dog just died
Tell missus but she got a 21-year old bloke ridin' her hide
So pop down the pub for some cheer
But am told they have ran out of lite beer
What do you think? Not bad eh? How about this as my follow up hit:
Been sacked from the factory for keep being late
Went home to find my wife has had her brains blown out
That really sucked and the mess is a right pain
Too make it worse the Addicks have lost at White Hart Lane
All I need now is the pony tail and the tight leather jeans. Let me find Francey's number see if he can lend me a pair.

Breaking news 8888 Week 16 scores
Californication who have slowly been putting together a good scoring run rolled into the top 10 in week 16 for the first time of the season. With a MoW award to boot after scoring 56 points, Chris climbed 7 places to 7th and hurdled colleagues Barwick, Higgs and Dewberry plus old AIG'er Barry Plummer. That curry bill is looking even less likely Chris?
Talking of ex-AIG (you would have had it marked down as the school of drinking not insurance wouldn't you?) but Greg Harris had a jolly good fagging week. Roffey's rejects notching 51 points to climb even further away from the bottom of the table. Sir Greg now looks up not down, bit like when he was at school I expect.
Rob Munden of course never worked for AIG, he's never worked for St Paul to be friggin' honest, although he did once get caught.... oh, we won't go there again!
Ken Bates' beard, after re-reaching the top 10 3 weeks ago, are now in 8th after a sterling 48 points for the Leeds supporter in week 16.
Heppers kept up the pressure on Godders at the top of the pile after So he got shot up the harse scored 47. The gap is still as much as 58 points though as I *ucking hate Chelsea scored 46!
Suzie Syrett could not nick a 4th MoW on the spin but she still scored an impressive 46 points and Ping Pong Yo-Yo join Californication as top 10 newly-weds.
Ready's Hannoi Utd had their best week since August and 46 points take him up to 16th from 20th. The floppy haired Francey (I said hair ladies!) is also moving away from the arse-end of the table (I'm sure there's a Brighton joke in there somewhere?). Keep the faith also had there best 7-days since August and jump 4 places to 29th.
Other notable efforts in week 16 were Galacticos FC (44), I hate Gerrard (44), Football Academy (44), London Irish (43) and Christian Dailly Football Genius (43).

Breaking news 8888 Week 16 scores
There wasn't much change at the top or the foot of the table in week 16. Neil Cryer's Rochdaletastic did climb 2 places to 6th from bottom after scoring 33 points but with the rest of the AIG boys surging ahead in the distance he does look like he will be buying the Chicken Biriyani's come May.
Elsewhere though there was a lot of jokeying for positions. With 6 games in the next 3 weeks it is an important time of the season for teams as they look to make their moves. Outside of the top 5 and bottom 5 only 6 teams stayed in the same place after the week 16 scores.
Lets look at teams with differing fortunes. I have picked 12 teams out of the 46 with very different current fortunes. 6 are on there way up and 6 Santa has decided have been bad and are on their way down. These are the 6 teams are on their way up:
Californication
Ping Pong Yo-Yo
London Irish
Hannoi Utd
Roffey's Rejects
Keep the faith
And these 6 are on their way down and in freefall.
Davids v Goliath
Chicago Addick
Magic Roundabout
Dark 'n Stormy
Chicken eaters
White wine & water
We are closely approaching the half-way point of the season when I will do a blow-by-blow account of each team's performance so far and expectations for the final half of the season. Watch this sapce.

Gazza sacked by Kettering
Paul Gascoigne has been sacked by Kettering because of his drinking. The modern day George Best was in charge of the non-league for just 39 days. Gazza was manager of Kettering we followed them in the N&R Road to Wembley.
Gazza fired a broadside on his way out of the door saying "The chairman wants to sack me but I said I will never walk away from Kettering Town. I will fight all the way. I am now looking to buy the football club"
Meanwhile Kettering's new owner Imraan Ladak said "If you are a recovering alcoholic there is no reason to drink but Paul thinks it is OK. He feels I should have done more - but I have had conversations with him he can't remember because he was drunk."
Don't you get the feeling that in 15 years time we will be watching highlights of Gazza's sublime skill, while he lies dying in a West London hospital? Very sad.

World Cup Countdown
England have been seeded for Friday's draw in Leipzig. The other 7 nations seeded are:
Brazil
Germany
Spain
Mexico
France
Argentina
Italy
England were seeded number 2, which is ridiculous. The US missed out by 1 point to Italy but you can't help but think that the FIFA ranking co-efficent is a bit dodgy. The Czech Republic go into the European 'pot' even though they are ranked 2nd in the most recent FIFA world rankings.
The draw on Friday will involve 4 pots as follows:
POT ONE
Germany (hosts); Brazil (holders); Argentina; England; France; Italy; Mexico; Spain
POT TWO
Australia; Angola; Ghana; Ivory Coast; Togo; Tunisia; Ecuador; Paraguay
POT THREE
Croatia; Czech Republic; Netherlands; Poland; Portugal; Sweden; Switzerland; Ukraine
POT FOUR
Iran; Japan; Saudi Arabia; South Korea; Costa Rica; Trinidad & Tobago; US
SPECIAL POT
Serbia & Montenegro
This is how it will work:
The eight seeded teams will be drawn into eight different groups. Germany have already been allocated Group A and Brazil Group F.
Eight unseeded European sides will be drawn into the eight different groups.
The lowest-ranked European side Serbia and Montenegro will be allocated to one of the groups containing either Brazil, Argentina or Mexico to ensure there is no more than two European sides in any group.
A pot of the five African countries, Australia and the two remaining South American sides drawn into eight different groups.
A pot containing the four Asian countries, the USA, Costa Rica and Trinidad drawn into seven different groups.

The big draw is Man U away at either Nigel Clough's Burton or the lowest ranked club in the draw Burscough.

Stevenage Boro did you know?
I was perusing a Stevenage Borough fan website, like you do, and I noticed that their first team coach was no other than ex-Newcastle, Sunderland and Bordeaux goalie Lionel Perez.
A huge favourite at Boro' but a broken leg has all but finished his career. Manager Graham Westley then appointed him to the coaching staff in the summer.
On Saturday during the game against Northampton Perez allegedly poked his Northampton counterpart Dave Watson in the eyes! He is French remember!
Northampton manager Colin Calderwood told BBC's Match of the Day: "I just managed to see what's happened. There's obviously been an altercation and there's going to be an FA investigation at the very, very least." Watch this space.

Road to Wembley - Stevenage grab replay
Match of The Day gave some airtime to our boys Stevenage on Saturday. They held League 2 outfit Northampton at home 2-2. The replay is on December 13th.Rising starlet GEORGE BOYD gave Boro an early lead. He received a short corner from Dannie Bulman just inside the box, turned exquisitely and sent a curling shot with his right boot into the far corner to give the home side a perfect start.
Boro tried to keep up the high tempo, with Michael Brough unlucky not to get a shot in from close range, and Boyd seeing a shot from distance go just wide after a defence-splitting pass from Bulman. At the other end, Alan Julian needed quick reflexes to deny ex-Addick Scott McGleish inside the area, before the ‘keeper had to watch the striker’s header drop just wide of the post.
The 2nd half was all Northampton as they pushed forward for an equaliser. A corner from David Hunt was met by the head of David Rowson and Julian was ready once again to thwart the Cobblers, diving to his left to palm the ball behind. When Andy Kirk found himself in acres of space inside the box but sent a woeful shot over the bar, it seemed as though it was going to be Boro’s day.
However, after Nurse had claims for a penalty turned down, Northampton grabbed an equaliser. Defender PEDJ BOJIC ran with the ball to the edge of the box and let fly with his right boot, the ball nestling inside the right corner of the net.
Then with 8 minutes left Barry Laker bundled Kirk over in the box and McGLEISH converted the penalty with ease, sending Julian the wrong way. As a scuffle broke out in the dugouts(!) Boro kicked-off and made it 2-2 instantly. Michael Warner’s searching pass picked out ANTHONY ELDING's run and he lifted it over the onrushing Harper and into the empty net to earn his side a deserved draw.
Boro' Team: A Julian; M Warner, R Quinn, B Laker, D Perpetuini; D Bulman, M Brough, O Berquez, J Gregory (Sub: A Elding, 58mins); J Nurse, G Boyd.
Subs not used: J Goodliffe, D Williams, S Gore, S Weatherstone.

George Best - A life in quotes
"So George, where did it all go wrong?"
The hotel bellboy who delivered champagne to Best's room and found him entertaining a scantily-clad Miss World on a bed covered with his winnings from the casino.
"I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep."
George Best provides some dark humour about his addiction.
"I think I've found you a genius."
The telegram sent to Manchester United by talent scout Bob Bishop, who discovered a 15-year-old Best playing for Cregagh Boys' Club.
"I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number" and he asked me: "What's an IQ?"
Best on Paul Gascoigne.
"I'd give all the Champagne I've ever drunk to be playing alongside him in a big European match at Old Trafford."
The other Old Trafford legend Eric Cantona on Best.
"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life."
George Best - top man.
"I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep."
Not even sure that was true!
"I was in for 10 hours and had 40 pints - beating my previous record by 20 minutes."
Best on the blood transfusion after his liver transplant.
"He's not George Best, but then again, no-one is."
Commentator Clive Tyldesley.
"The closest I got to him was when we shook hands at the end of the game."
Northampton player Roy Fairfax, who had been marking Best when he scored six goals in an 8-2 FA Cup win for Man Utd in 1970.
"Shellito was taken off suffering from twisted blood!"
United team-mate Pat Crerand after Best had given Chelsea full-back Ken Shellito a torrid time.
"He's been very, very lucky, an average player who came into the game when it was short of personalities."
Best on Kevin Keegan
"He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's alright."
Best on David Beckham
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
A George Best classic.
"If I was born ugly, you'd have never heard of Pele"
People talk about Pele, Maradona, Cryuff and Eusebio but remember Best 'retired' at 26!
"I used to go missing a lot...Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World..."
Another classic line
"George was not only a fantastic player, to me he was also a fantastic bloke"
Pat Jennings
"I like screwing, simple as that."
Best to Terry Wogan live on TV.

A historical hat-trick for Suzie
Breaking news 8888 Week 15 scores
I don't believe in 10 years of N&R FL this has ever been done before but Suzie Syrett in week 14 won her third consecutive MoW award. Ping-Pong accomplished 55 points to take another fiver of me and moves up to a lofty 11th in the standings. Suzie, known for her big personalties, has now hit 157 points in 3 weeks and has climbed 24 places in the process. Well done luv.
The weeks 2nd best score was had by another in-form manager. Greg Harris, who has gone from geek to greek love god, smashed 48 points and his rise is still in the ascendency (no, not down there but in the league table!). Roffey Rejects are up to 29th after spending the first 8 weeks in the re-election zone. Well done sir.
When talking of love-gods, you wouldn't normally associate the words Lee and Baughan together, not unless it involved Martha Stewart. However old Sweats is picking up a bit of fantasy footie form. After being around the top 10 for the first 2 months PK's Blue Lagooners hit a slide but the boy is back after a solid 47 points in week 14.
47 points was also Danny's Geeza's score and he too is on a bit of a roll (a curled up one for lunch alongside 8 pints). up 3 places for Dan. London Irish too did well in week 14. 46 pts for Irish lass, Hilary.
Nigel Tatlock after an excellent season last year has had a fookin disaster this one. However things are looking up for Nige. 45 points - Tatters top tip's highest score of the season - has given him a thrust of energy plus he has just made a ton of transfers. Watch out.
Doyley, last years champ, is slowly putting his season together after a dreadful start. 44 for Rapid Ginger - their best score since August - and a climb to 35th. Chicken eaters is also on the bounce. 44 for Lee and his best knock since August too.
The worse score of the week was 17 from Aon's Dickie Norman. Looks like the sun (or is it the rum?) is getting to him again down in Bermuda after a marvellous run that took Dark 'n Stormy to 14th a few weeks ago. Back to 22nd after week 14.

All the big scores were by teams outside of the top 10 in week 14. Barry Plummer gaining the best score amongst the challengers, 2Infinity & beyond acheiving the best score of 42.
Below the pink-zone watch out for the combo of Higgs and Barwick who had another good week (42 pts) and are now in 11th. Flighty Feet are a lesson to all of us - they were 41st 7 weeks ago. Ping Pong Yo Yo share 11th with them and both Magic Roundabout and Chicago Addick gain ground on Lamb to the slaughter and Californication who drop back.
At the top I *ucking hate Chelsea are 59 points clear of So he got shot up the harse who are jockeying for 2nd with Wenners Utd. Football Academy stay 4th with Paul Kelleher's Rushden & Doggers in 5th.
The other week I got a text from Paul explaining to me, or more like agreeing with me that American birds are thick. He had met a couple on a trip to Switzerland to see us beat the Argies.
Now what I am keen to know is did you find out that they are also very good at the old 'head-bobbing' thing? Apparently it goes back to their childhoods and the traditional Halloween game of plucking apples out of buckets of water (see left). PK, pray tell....

Wow, she did it again. The 2nd MoW in row - You go girl! Catherine and Karen did the very same thing for Flighty Feet in weeks 7 and 8 and now Suze has done the double. The fcuking birds are taking over!
50 points for Ping-Pong Yo Yo and she’s now into 18th. Hang on, Hilary Ryan had the next best score with 44. Equalities FL this is, none of your chauvinistic bollocks you get in other leagues. London Irish continue to bounce (steady lads) around in mid-table. Ben Graves, a bit of a bird, by all accounts (sorry John, couldn’t keep it quiet) also hit 44 and sends one of last year’s prize winners back on the straight and narrow - 23rd to be exact for Christian Dailly football genius (sic).
Alex Baxter – bit of an old woman, no sorry a lot of an old woman charged in with 43 points. Repka is innocent up 5 to 29th. Don’t worry Alex I know perfectly well where Dom is and where the fault lie for last season’s piss-poor performance!
Meg & Hannah’s (girl theme again) were next up scoring 43. Danny’s geeza’s (this is where it ends of course) walloped 42 the same as colleague again Glenn Francis. Lamb to the slaughter are now knocking on the top 10 door.
And if that wasn’t enough, Sweaty only went and had a good week too. 28 pints, 5 curries and 2 bathrooms decorated for the Sweatster plus 41 FL points for his PK’s blue lagooners.
And to tie this whole charade up nicely the big girls blouse Francey managed to rise to the occasion and slip in a healthy 39 points. A jump of 3 places for gay pride’s motto Keep the faith.

My kinda town
I’ve been fucking busy at work recently, the market here is much harder after the 400 hurricanes that the US has had this year.
There has been a ton of charity shows on television recently rightly raising money for their own people to rebuild homes in Louisiana and other coastal states. But what absolutely amazes me is that they are building these new family houses out of timber.
Now I know I’m a boring old insurance professional (ok, the professional bit is a lie) but you would of thought that once bitten twice shy. From what I saw on the news, timber framed homes in Louisiana and Florida blew away in 140mph winds so do they not learn anything? And if I remember from my Lloyds test, timber framed homes have a more than what is considered normal chance of burning down.
I don’t understand it, just like I don’t understand why if for some reason you own a mobile home (bit like your caravan PK), why do the owners park these mobile homes in the middle of fucking nowhere. They settle in wide open plains or near coastal towns and then are left to scratch their heads when the slightest bit of wind blows the fuckers away. Mobile homes in my mind are just that so why don’t they move them to a place where they are less likely to suffer tornadoes and hurricanes?

The only thing big about Greg Harris is his trust fund, but the pigeon-chested lad from the country slapped down a big score himself in week 12 of the N&R FL. 47 points for Roffey Rejects and they away from the re-election zone.
3 places were gained by Lamb to the slaughter after a good week for Glenn, who scored 46 points, one more than Carl Dillaway whose Galacticos side move back up the league after a stutter in form.
Tony Murray is one of in-form managers at the present. Another cracking week for Football Academy take them to a season’s high of 5th. Californication’s form will please Chris Waterman whose chances of buying this year’s end of season ruby are looking remote. 43 for Chris and a move into 11th spot.
Francey, still living off of the Gay Boys victory at Ron Noades’ pension fund also scored well in week 12. 42 for Keep the faith and jump of 5 places.
And watch out for Dickie Norman. Absolute toilet at the beginning of the season but now sandwiched between Dougs and Nobs in 14th. 42 for Dark ‘n Stormy.

A poor week from league leaders I *ucking hate Chelsea (20 pts) meant that both Wenners United (44) and So he got shot up the harse (40 pts) closed the gap at the top. Wenners and Heppers swap places in the Championship chase.
Rushden & Doggers stay in 4th whilst Football Academy are into 5th. The other big news in the top 10 was the reverse of Glasgow kiss into 9th, just 25 points for our haggis nibbling lassie. Rob Munden’s Ken Bates’ beard are backing the top 10 after scoring 39.
