Another weekend of big changes. Long time leader Pat Murphy has fallen two places from the top into third. The Magicians have stayed firmly in second position, but team of the week by a proverbial mile are Don’t Deadlies, who have jumped from third into top spot, after what was a fantastic week for him. A hat-trick from Santa Cruz (I was wondering when he would score again), five assists, three clean sheets saw him cruise in with 48 points for the week. This even though his Blackburn defender left in five and got booked, he still had time to have a hand in two of Santa Cruz’s goals which meant that he came out on par for the day. This is the kind of luck you need sometimes. Indeed it was after the Saturday games that the table reshuffle happened, but the Deadlies extended their lead by a few more points on Sunday … just for good measure.
Even though the Magicians were second best of the week with 40 points (thanks again to Santa Cruz), they still find themselves now seven points adrift of the summit. They now are wondering if they will ever reach that top spot … but thoughts of turning to the Guinness make them think that “good things come to those that wait”.
Pat Murphy too has Santa Cruz, he also had Cesc return from injury and chip in a few points, and had clean sheets from Clichy and Evra, but his team really did poorly otherwise. He’s not out of it by any means, but it is a continuing slide which can only be arrested by a major injection of new blood.
Sonya’s lads are back on form with, 31 points from this Sunday afternoons two games thanks to a goal from Gallas and three clean sheets. Back up to fourth, looking more comfortable and maybe looking like they’re emerging from their few weeks of misery. They’re far from out of the race yet.
Der Golden was heard to say on Saturday evening that he’s looking like he’s going to wrap up the league yet after his good form that afternoon. He’ll have to do a little better than that though. Good is sometimes just not good enough! We all know he has it in him, and there are a lot of games from now to the end of the season. We will see what happens.
I think DJ has has definitely had his purpe patch. A few weeks ago he was looking dangerous as he charged for the top, but now just ten points less and he’ll drop another four places to tenth, cos he’s bunched up in the middle of the table with Mairead, Der Mc, Shaybee and Ola.
