This Weeks Winner is Steven Thacker
First things first POW would like to apologise for the lack P.O.W. last week he was in rehab for his addiction to rehab, its a never ending cycle.
As we all know POW is old I mean he's so old he had a cbox! (instead of an xbox! get it? that's what sets POW apart the ability to laugh at himself, that and the tattoo of a fox he has on his scrotum). Anyway when POW was a boy they didn't have units of currency so when they required something like a yak or twine to make a blanket with they traded livestock or children, of course in some families the children were the livestock! (ahhh child abuse still funny even after all those beatings). So when POW hears talk of there being too much money in the game these days he sits back with a wry smile that could make a women's knickers fall off unaided. Because in all honesty who cares? The sums spent are so big these days that its all lost meaning as POW's former Ally Joseph Stalin once said the death of one man is a tragedy the death of a million men is a statistic (upon reading that quote POW realises Joe had some problems that maybe he should of confronted him on). No human mind could comprehend the amount of money being spent in a season of a top european league you just look at it and think wow that's a lot (Stephen Hawking could maybe but POW counts him as more of a robot or "Cyborg" than a person), POW met Trevor Francis once (the world's first million pound player) and he said that people used to tell him how outrageous it was that they spent that amount of money on him, but if a club signs a player for 1 million pounds now he is almost certain to be toilet, that's the natural progression of the game, the 100,000 pound a week in wages barrier has not only been broken but absolutely smashed recently and the 200,000 pound a week one isn't far off. WIth the game progressing the way it is the money is just going to get more and more extravagant and while there will be the odd case of a club going bust or doing a "leeds", that won't stop anyone and the money spent is only going to go in one direction and that's up.
This weeks Predictor Of The Week is Steven, for finishing joint top. Would it be unkind of me to describe Steven as an enigma? I mean you think you know a man and how he will predict but trying to keep up with Steven is sure to drive any man to the Edge. But we wouldn't change him for the world and its his unpredictable predictions that make him such a colourful and important member of the league, so you carry on Steven even if your antics are Rated R!
Round of applause to you Steven
