Welcome back to another episode of Philip is on holiday so we picked his team and it won. If you missed last week, you can catch up here. Seems that Dave could have been top if Jansen and Delap were not asleep on the job. Can anyone catch our runaway leader?

Welcome back to another week of what the hell have I agreed to read! Yes, it’s that time again when the finest wines of the lower leagues battle it out for ultimate glory in the eyes and history of absolutely nobody. But you knew that already. You can catch-up on last week here. Here’s a reminder of how the sides were getting on:

Here we are again. The home off the long ball. Where football goes to be embarrassed of itself. If you’re reading this, we can only assume you enjoy poking yourself if the eye with sticks. We’re 4 league games in, if you missed last week, you can catch-up here. The table is already starting to paint a picture that Di Vinci would be proud of:

Welcome back to another week of fixtures littered with meaningless cup ties as the big boys of the Football League Trophy continue our battle to be top dog – if you missed it, you can catch-up here. The table is a bit odd given we’ve been snowed under in the cups; so, that in mind, here’s the graphic we never look at:

Dave and his Carlisle squad leading the points board and heading for a first MotM award. We start this week with a rare sight, some league action.

So, you came back to the sunlit uplands of FLTM9798 did you? On a side note, I’ve always wondered, if you had a windscreen shield, how the f*** would you see to be able to drive?!? Okay, I’ll park the poor humour for now let’s get this shit show on the road. If you missed last week’s intro, you can catch up here.

Roll up, roll up! This is the greatest show? Quite possibly not. Have you ever sat there and thought to yourself “who were the greatest side to win the Football League Trophy during the 90’s?”. No? Well neither did we, until we needed something to do.

Here at www.cm9798.co.uk we’ve pitted the best Champions League sides against each other, the best Cup Winners Cup sides, so naturally the Football League Trophy was the best fit in that order.

An at best, derided trophy. The football equivalent of winning the meat draw at the social club. But it has been lifted by some sides who have gone on to play Premier League football. And some who have gone on to play in the Conference. And to think, it started life out as a replacement for the Anglo-Scottish Cup in the early 80’s. Should we jump in to our first participants? You’ll soon see the competition was dominated by middle England clubs.
