Hey Folks! Cup Fever is in the air and filling the nostrils of the Codfather. I'm so excited, I want to dance. Onto the news.....

- Just 7 days after saying he would be out for another month, my sources are telling me that RCF Captain Chris Maskell has declared himself match fit and will be named in the squad to face North Romford this Sunday.

- I hear James Spicer is holding manager Brad Micallef to ransom. A seemingly kind-hearted gesture of going in goal for RCF, has turned into something more sinister. Apparently, Spicers list of demands in return for the favour are "driving Micallef insane", as the Gaffer tries to keep his top marksman happy.

- After proposals at the monthly Corinthian League meeting to begin drug testing in the league, one blonde superstar at RCF was said to be "extremely nervous".

- Russell Leiter recently revealed in Shoot magazine that last month he spent £347 on Jamstar ringtones and Java games. "I'm addicted" he shrilled.

- I hear that Bradley Micallef went to watch O'Grady's on Sunday to keep an eye on potential target Michael Farley, but come away more impressed with his brother Jon Farley.

- Simon Field's road to rehabilitation was shattered on this week as he found himself in Red Dragon on Friday night, ploughing his way through their generous £16.95 all you can eat buffet. Simon is said to be "giddy like a child at Christmas" as the team prepare to return to Red Dragon this Saturday for the teams Festive Party.

- Rumour has it that Racing midfielder Steve Clarke is ready to drop a bombshell to fellow Moolah Cru member Peter Pedomonou this Saturday. The pair had a slight falling out last weekend, and Clarke found comfort in the strong arms of M-Unit leader Darren "Party Boy" Salmon, leading to speculation.

- Chris Maskell was snapped by paparazzi on Tuesday morning, leaving the Thistle Hotel in Brighton. It is believed he was doing some charity work, as he left the building with two females who clearly had learning disabilities. Good on him.

And Finally...

- Last Friday I lost my classic 1963 synthetic leather jacket in the Gants Hill area. Eyewitnesses claim a short man, possibly a dwarf, ran away with it. Sources have told me he even wore it down the pub on Saturday. If anyone has any idea who this midget-man is, then please contact the Codfather as soon as possible. That coat is an antique, and I want it back folks.

Until next time.....
