I would love to say it has been eventful….but it hasn’t. Not when you compare it to the Cuban Taekwondo player (that is correct terminology-look it up if you don’t believe me) who kicked a referee in the head at the Olympics;

Birmingham and Wolves have nestled themselves in at the top of the Championship, along with surprise
package Preston. Derby are picking up where they left off last season and have got themselves nicely settled in propping up the rest of the teams.  They’ll be relishing next season’s East Midlands derby with Leicester in League 1 next year already.

In Fizzy Pop terms, this league has proven to be the easiest to predict.

Leicester Oldham and Carlisle find themselves in the driving seat in league 1, with Leicester’s mean defence helping them secure top spot.  Huddersfield prop up the league,m despite being many people’s tip for an playoff spot this season.  The usual suspects of Cheltenham Crewe and Hereford are keeping them company in the Drop Zone (no not the Wesley Snipes film)

Those nice people at the FA might a right mockery of our League 2 season preview dishing out points deductions like bullets and pistols during the fall of Berlin.  Does Brian Barwick have a secret underground bunker? He should have.

We said that Luton would stay up if they could get enough points to put them in what would have been 7th place.  At the moment they’ve managed 7 points from 4 games, which would have them in 10th place so still some work to do for them yet. 

Bournemouth started on minus 17 points, so need 62 points in reality to stay up. Having managed 2 from their first 4 games, they should be worried.  Rotherham also started on minus 17, but have managed 10 so far from their 4 games and would therefore be top of the league.

Bournemouth could be saved by Maccelsfield.  4 games, 4 defeats, 14 goals conceded and none scored.  Just remember that next time you are moaning about your club.  Barnet are also yet to get off the mark, yet find themselves in the giddy heights of 20th.  The mind boggles.

In Fizzy Pop news Russell took top spot on first week and has yet to look back.  However, he was outscored by old foe Daniel and the man people are tipping to break the monopoly of the ‘Big Two’ Daniel Bailes, in gameweek 4, so don’t go counting your chickens just yet Mr Dowling.

We’ll spare Marvin any criticism for now, owing to the fact he is the new kid, but Mike Portsmouth Football Club Barrett should hang his head in shame at his poor showing so far this season.  He needs to buck his ideas up, fast!
