01/03/05 10:00 PM - December Summary Update
Hey guys,

Just a reminder that the sub period for January ends on the 7th.

The December update sees Bill take Man U passed Silvio’s Juventus into second place with only a 2 point difference.

Jussi and Fabio top the month with 72 points each and end Antero’s monster streak.
I guess it takes a Fin to end a Fins streak.

Fabio and Jussi move up to Division 1 and Neil and Alex are relegated for the month of December.

Before I end this email I just want to say I hope all of you have a fantastic 2005!!!
Stay safe!
