    For all your diaries then:
    Transfer Window 3 opens at 12:30 GMT Saturday 17 December 2011 and closes at 12:30 on Friday 23 December 2011 with scoring starting from later eligible games.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    My points haven't been updated since the 2nd October - is everyone else in the same situation? I have no idea how many points I should have by now, though I am sure that I'll still be near the bottom of the table!
    All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!

    That is because there have been no applicable games due to the Internationals, are you not a football fan?

    Much as I don't like to cheer at others misfortune, Senegal are out of the Africans cup and Demba Ba is coming home :j I thought I had cocked up when I subbed him for the Uruguayan (that we dare not speak his name), but 21 points and an early exit from Africa makes my sub positively Oracle like.

    The key question must be, What do they call white people in Senegal in a non-racist manner?

    I take it that is a sideswipe at a player who had the temerity to object to being racial abused?

    Actually it's a sideswipe at the rather ludicrous defences offered up by Suarez and his apologists ('some of my best friends are black', 'it was only a joke', 'he never said it despite admitting it' etc.). I should have made that clearer. Crivens, I wouldn't want to be tarred with that brush.

    That's the trouble with Uruguayans you see, all prone to racial generalisations.

    A joke, shamelessly stolen from The Fool:

    My predictions for three to go down this year: Blackburn, John Terry and 'Arry.
