    Latest world rankings

    England now down to 15th - lack of wins against decent opposition in competitive games starting to bite. Similarly, finally getting some competitive football (Confed Cup) has taken Brazil up 13 places http://www.fifa.com/worldranking/index.html

    OD - Week 7

    Today I will be bot bashing resting most including my WK for next week's reverse FC and crucial OD which will either condemn me to playoffs or keep 4th spot hopes very much alive. Sadly my cup exit will cane receipts. Slightly unfair given my lowly ranking.

    Stoke-on-Trent

    "Can't remember where I read it, but: "Not one German bomb dropped on Stoke-on-Trent in World War Two. This, apparently, was because a group of high-ranking Luftwaffe officers, grouped around a table and studying aerial reconnaissance photographs of the area, concluded it had already been...
