Metoo.

28/7/23 33 Boney M — Rasputin +1 (Especially for EP :-) ) 33 M — Pop Muzik 29 Blondie — Dreaning 29 Squeeze — Cool for Cats  27 Rose Royce — Love Don’t Live Here Anymore 27 Squeeze — Up The Junction +1 25 The Police — Can’t Stand Losing You 23 Roxy Music — Dance Away 21 Abba — Chiquitita 20 Elvis Costello & The Attractions Oliver’s Army 20 Racey — Some Girls 19 BA Robertson — Bang Bang -1 19 Darts — The Boy From New York City 16 Abba — I Have A Dream 16 Blondie — Denis 16 Olivia Newton-John — Hopelessly Devoted To You 15 Darts — Come Back My Love +2 12 Darts — It’s Raining 11 Clout — Substitute -5 07 Queen — Crazy Little Thing Called Love  Surprised the BA Robertson song has remained unmolested for so long given the (mostly) high quality around it. Hopefully my nudge in the appropriate direction will give it a bit of momentum.

On the contrary, I think most of them are good (and some are great). After Clout and BA Robertson (and maybe Racey) struggling to find stuff to downvote.

My team is in National League South so I'd quite like to be able to include clubs at that level. Happy to run it to include them (and Scottish leagues and top leagues in Wales, NI and RoI if anyone is so inclined). RAO, do you want to run it? If so, be my guest. If not, I'll get something out at the end of the week.

Danny Bloor out at Eastbourne following a takeover of the club. I cross the round 2 finishing line a mere 10 months after the winner and just in time for the start of round 3.

Given everyone who was going to change manager has done so by now and several leagues kick off in just over a week's time, think the time to be submitting teams for the next round is nearly upon us. Does the offer still hold RAO? I don't mind doing it if neither you nor BP want to.
