I think it's all over....

Well, not quite.  We've yet to post up our final standings but this chart at least is complete:

It shows each team's points per round for the season - click into it to make it bigger.  Though Chelsea probably deserved to win and even played some very compelling football (it breaks my heart to say it....) the graph shows just how close an off-form United managed to make it.   Poor old Portsmouth though - they struggled to get to 19 points, and then had 9 points deducted so had to fight their way back to 19 points again.  19 is evidently their groundhog number.

-0-

Here are our final points.  I don't all the results - particularly missing are the week before last ones - but I was very preoccupied.


-0-

And here is the final standings graph:

Anyhow, plans for the World Cup.....

If the PTS site is no longer up and running during the summer's diversions, we can make this our makeshift home.  I can set it up so that everybody in the group is an author, so that everyone can originate posts.  And then each person can set it up so that their email box notifies of each post/comment so there's no need to miss anything.  And of course you can post up pictures.

Here's proof.  On 19 September, my granddaughter Isabella is scheduled to disembark after spending the entire world cup in the womb.  For reasons of modesty you can only see her top half....


But what we really really need is daft but manageable games to keep us engaged.  So what ideas do we have?
