Your Ropey League
Basil met Bill Bowo and Apple. “What about Lil?” “D’yer know ‘er?’ asked Bill. He doffed his homburg. “To lose in Berlin would hurt a lot, but we are sporting. But are Villa real? I think they are lazier in training than twenty other clubs. Ben Feeker goes out with Sofia, you know. They were drinking red bull in Salzburg, although the anger they vent spills the drink. But, Ben is a roamer. His wife, Sofia, has Celtic blood in her and ‘er lecture on ajax and omo are brimming with ideas. Anyway, Apple, Nick’ll see her". Basil walked out to catch the rapid to Vienna, stopping to buy something from the Fenner Bar Cheese menu. A Pathetic, Stupid and Vacuous article, you may say – or, PSV, as it is known.
Fucking cracking. However Apple Nick'll see 'er didn't play Ropey League though. In the office, the piece went down a storm. Grazia. (FootballCynic writes: The young lad at FootballCynic HQ who put Apple Nick'll see her in the article has been dismissed. So, why 'Burnt'?)

This article captured Lady Knobhead's attention. Lady Knobhead and I puzzled over this for some time during our breakfast crumpets. How many teams are we looking for, Sir? We've got 11. (FootballCynic writes: Well, it would seem at the rate you are going, you will be searching for the last one over crumpets on Monday, your Lordship. Much to de-bate, it would seem)

We only have crumpets on Saturday morning so you are not quite right with your statement, Mr Football Cynic. Yesterday we were at less than 100% over breakfast due to the intake of a much champagne at a civic do. This morning we tore into the task over some rather fine black pudding that Lady K obtained at the local farmer's market and got to 21. We are left to assume that Butbeniza play in Latvia or some other backwater and, on Lady K's suggestion I might add, that Andomo R come from northern Finland. Are we remotely close? If you could settle this before afternoon tea with the Duke and Duchess of Rutland (who are rather small minded people at the best of times) I would be obliged as it is rather a puzzler this one. (FootballCynic writes: 21 pieces of black pudding shows a good appetite. I am afraid Butbeniza and Andomo R are not teams. However, I can reveal that the Duke of Rutland did send an email to me privately yesterday with all 23 teams.)
