Please all play nicely or we'll have to start warning, banning and closing things down. I really don't want to do that.

You probably won't be able to ban Don - I couldn't. Kipper and Goodlad will set up a breakaway BCG so he can keep posting.

And I was right.

Not only that but only beaten because Godot's Matty Cash went off before Aston Villa conceded whereas my Aston Villa defender was still on the field.

Bad luck Billy. I was very fortunate to keep my Villa clean sheet and get a goal from Taylor, although he was on a 1pt bonus before he let in two and got a yellow card.

The best piece of outrageous fortune in the season so far remains Anton getting 17pts from his third benched player - which also happened to be that man, Cash. Or maybe Radish getting 3 goals and two assists from Watkins against Brighton a couple of weeks ago.

You know it's a shame Don, but when you were manager of the month I did you these;

Manager of the Month - March 2022: Don Rushmore
I'm pleased to announce the inaugural Clique MOTM award, which has gone to Fork&sheet⚡️Lightnin's manager Don Rushmore.

Don's had a good (some might say blessed) season and is currently leading the league by a comfortable margin. In March he played his second wild card and put a further 246 points on his total, despite stiff competition from resident nutter Horse Radish.

In an interview the 53 year old said success wouldn't change him, he'd still mostly be a c**t. Horse Radish, who finished 8 points behind Don said; "I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every day. Spread my wings and fly away."

Don wins the coveted Clique MOTM trophy, a magnum of champagne and a night out with an attractive woman who's been paid to laugh at his jokes.

Manager of the Month - April 2022: Don Rushmore
The presentation took place today for the Clique Manager of the Month for April which was won by Fork&sheet⚡️Lightnin's Don Rushmore.

Don was typically magnanimous in victory pointing out that although he won the trophy last month and in November, December and February, it was still very nearly possibly a close run thing. He spoke of his hope that others would be inspired by his example and step up to the plate as he was running out of doors that needed holding open.

Praise for Don
The trophy was presented by model and actress Donna Baldhaven, who said she knew nothing about football but didn't feel excluded from the conversation. She said of Don; "He doesn't say very much but I knew he was a winner as soon as they told me to give him the trophy". Runner up for April MOTM and previous League winner Steve Sunshine said; "Don's played a straight bat which is weird 'cause you don't have a bat in football and I really have no idea who keyed his car."

Tragedy
Don generously put £200 behind the bar, which went some way towards paying Godot's drinks bill.

Now that I'm manager of the month, you can't even be bothered to mention my name;

Thank you G - I can't help thinking, most people are in a mind to think "Well, if you don't laugh at mine, or appreciate the pun, I'm not going to comment on yours favourably"

I like your last one 😁

Yeah I like the one you copied off me Godot

That's a neat way to bump your post - must remember that.

Obviously I didn't copy anything off you but if you're feeling unloved there's this from the other week that you didn't see;

Bad luck to Steve, who left 29 points on the bench and missed out on a Spurs cleanie. The crazy vicissitudes of this game. I avoid it by having a bench that either can't ever get on the pitch or has a ceiling of 1pt.

Yes thanks for the mention and for spotting that , but I had read it at the time
I don't read everybody's posts on here but I always read yours as you are actually generous with your postings rather than just talking about your own team all the time
Which makes it much more interesting and inclusive

I see Haaland is flavour of the day - at a quick glance, everyone has him as captain

Pity he only lasted 45 minutes.

horse post;

Don. I have never seen the like of your comments and don't know what to make of them. But thanks. I can still come on the 60 bus to your place as I think we are still at the opposite ends of that route. It would be a long journey for me but the last time around, I brought Smokey Robinson's Tears of a Clown and turned what was supposed to be a party but a morgue into everyone dancing. Mind you, they were all bloody accountants. Luckily, our party will be nicer. I will also bring along Steve Kember and someone I know who plays golf with Ian Wright if that would be helpful. Hi Steve Sunshine. Lovely to hear from you. I hope you are keeping well.

Question is, do HR's proxy posts count as proper posts?

Is he back in the running for league champion?

Who is going to be the first to blink and give the armband to someone else? 🧐
