Bobbing along in mid table. But ready to strike like a panther or a coiled spring when the time is right!

Me too. But your panther will have to leap a little further than mine or your spring needs to be a little more tightly coiled.

My panther is half spring, coiled so tightly that the slightest twitch will propel it so high that your grotty, mutant panther will think that a new star has suddenly appeared (if it can see that far) ! :mrgreen:

Well, my spring is half panther! New star? Same for me, but you won't see it - light dow travel fast enough.

So there.

Reckon we're both on for a zero next week. The only coils that our panthers will be looking at will be of the brown, smelly variety.

What irks me is the way that Manchester continually CHEATS his way to a good score every week, with the use of some despicable cheating device. :evil:

Yep. He'll be caught out by the Inquiry though. The only question will be: points deduction, relegation or imprisonment?

I'll be going for the death penalty - that way I forego the need to buy him the two pints he unfairly won the last time he was on here, cheating. :wink:

Marathon, sprint etc etc.

Anyway, I try not to look at the table until the last 12 games as it upsets my exhaustive calculations.

It won't load up onto the page for me either. Bart was having some problems this morning putting it up he said, so whether there is still an issue I'm not sure. Just keep checking back I suppose.

I'm back from foreign shores and pleased to see that I am still in the mix.

My despicable cheating device is my skill, judgement, knowledge of football all mixed with a tiny bit of luck.

Have no fear - it's a one-day only commerorative special. Other examples include my May Bank Holiday special of crying Leeds United fans at Wembley after the Play-Offs. Normal service will be resumed tomorrow. :wink:
