Greetings amigos,
Due to the volume of games that take place over the festive period, it can be a vitally important part of the season. This time around it was less profound as the top five managers all performed to a relatively similar level - just 7 points separated them, which is a pretty small range considering there were 40 games to predict. At the top of the pile was Mr O'Callaghan, who amassed 37 points including 5 spot-ons - Adam leads the January monthly table and will be looking to gain more ground on the top 4 in the overall table in the coming weeks. I scored 35 points to consolidate my position at the top of the overall standings and secure the December MotM Award, the 29th of my career to date. Mr Crinnion scored just 1 point less with a 34 point haul to ensure he stayed in second place, whilst Mr Stewart-Jones and Mr Raistrick scored 30 points apiece. Elsewhere it was a very mixed bag as the remaining managers elected to take either partial or complete breaks over the holiday period: Mr McClay (25), Mr Luke (14), Mr West (8) and Mr Moore (0).
There are a lot of games here so please do check your results - any mistakes let me know.
Take it easy,
Danny
