Three players left and this could be the week.
Chris is in with a chance of winning the pot with his pick of West Ham (v WBA)........ obviously Liverpool have to draw, or worse, against Burnley for that to happen.... A man can dream can't he? The other 70 of us are crossing our fingers that both games end in a draw and we can get that long awaited rollover and a pot somewhere north of £700. I'm off to shout sea shanties at all those British fish we've now got....... have a good weekend and stay safe. Friday Fact - West Brom have lost all their away trips to London this season. All 'one' of them.......And........ Burnley haven’t lost to Liverpool on a Thursday in two matches played. Some of you won.
Some of you lost. Some of you won...... and then lost. And then there are some of you who managed to lose.... and then lose again. The shocking performances from both North London teams (and Newcastle) means only Chris, Mark and Poppy get to continue into a very crowded week 19. The prediction page will look a little different this week. There are 15 games being played, which means some teams are playing more than once, Therefore, once you've made your 'drop down' prediction, please fill in the second box, stating to which game your choice relates. You have until Friday evening to get me those PREDICTIONS. Which is less than 24 hours, so why not do it straight away. Thursday Fact - Harry Kane's goal against Fulham was his 25th headed goal in PL history. He's one of just three players to have scored 25 left-footed, 25 right-footed and 25 headed goals in the competition after Robbie Fowler and Andrew Cole. Welcome back everyone, it's been an eventful few days since we were last together.... and there was some football too.
Those of you awaiting the replay of the Spurs v Fulham game will find out your fate on Wednesday as Villa can't rustle up enough Covid free players to make their game happen. Anyone with a yellow square next to your name (except Jack who's awaiting Everton v Man City) will therefore have 2 games to cross their fingers for to proceed. Man U (7) are the top pick for this set of games, followed by Arsenal (6). Good luck all, I'll be back on Thursday with the results. Remember, stay warm, stay safe, wear mask, keep your distance and for goodness sake, give up on dry January.... it was never a good idea, especially this year. I didn't want to go out anyway, I'm still trying to perfect my Swahili from the first lockdown.
Anyway, in the meantime, elite sport is still happening, so on we go. We only lost 3 players this weekend, which is an improvement on ....... *waves hands at the whole of 2020. The remaining 18 of you have until next Monday to get your predictions in for week 18 and the measly 6 games that are being played in that week. I'll be back with a reminder after the various EFL and FA cup games that are set to fill our time in the coming week. Until then, I have a very good no knead sourdough recipe if anyone feels the.... need..... sorry. Happy New Year Everyone - Welcome to 2021, please be careful, leave your shoes by the door and don't touch anything.
We have 21 players as we head into week 3 of this pool, but over half of you still have the possibility of being sent back to 2020 as you wait for postponed games to be replayed. Have a great day, I'm pretty sure there's a film on you can watch or some cheese in the fridge that needs finishing up. Enjoy! I'll be back on Monday after the Southampton v Liverpool game with the results and then we'll finally have a few days rest before the next games kick-off. |
