It was all a bit of an anti-climax after Friday night's record breaking win wasn't it! Apart from the rugby... unless you're Welsh.. Or a Kiwi? In any case, and slightly away from the Premier league, I'm really looking forward to the final next Saturday.
We lost Jon and Laura this week, after West Ham could only draw at home, leaving 10 of you to go through to week 5 of this pool. Click HERE to make that next prediction if you're still in. Have a good week, it might be time to find that box you put in the loft with all the hats, gloves and scarfs. Brrrrr. BONUS SUNDAY FACT KLAXON - Leicester are only the second side in Premier League history to have two players score a hat-trick in the same match, with Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez following Jermaine Pennant and Robert Pires for Arsenal, also against Southampton, in May 2003. Evening,
This'll be a quick one, as I'm still at work. Dilek is hoping for a win, Man City have messed this up before, Liverpool, Leicester and West Ham. I'll be back on Sunday with the results. Thank you, good luck and goodnight. Ohhhhhh, I got the VAR blues........ My girl gone left me, my dogs run away and the ref's dun do me wrong, I got the VAR blues..... I give it 3 months..... But I'm a QPR fan, so I don't really give a hoot.
Week 3 of this pool and Spurs failure to win at Watford puts paid to a few of your chances and leaves only 12 players top go through to week 4. Click HERE to make that next prediction and please be aware that you have until THURSDAY NIGHT, as we have a Friday night game this week. Enjoy. BONUS MONDAY NIGHT FACT KLAXON - Arsenal have conceded 22 Premier League goals from set-pieces since the start of last season; only Watford (25) and Everton (24) have conceded more. OK, where were we.......? Oh Yeah............... Football.
We have 22 players left in, there's £350 up for grabs and winter is definitely on its way..... That about covers everything I think? Let's not speak about the international break, bad games and bad fans, we'll leave it at that. Spurs (7) and Chelsea (6) are the top picks this week, with Alexis, Ben and Fiona all able to finish the weekend a little wealthier, if results go their way. I'll be back on Monday night, after Arsenal's trip to Sheffield, with all the results. Have a great weekend and good luck. FRIDAY FACT KLAXON - Newcastle are aiming for back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since April, and both of their victories this season have been 1-0 triumphs against teams from last season's top six....... No pressure for Chelsea then. Kevin gets through with Burnley, whilst the rest of us crash out.... come on, that's not very fair. And 16 of you go through on a classic 1-0 to the Arsenal, where's the justice in that, hey? I think the international break has come just a right time, as a lot of us need to take a good long look at these results and decide if football is really the game for us?
We lost 41 players to those crazy results this weekend, leaving 22 players to go through to week 3 of this pool. With the international break next weekend, there's no hurry to get me your next picks but click HERE if you're feeling confident enough now to make that choice. A special shout out must go to the 4 of you that picked Norwich this weekend, it was mentioned to me that it was probably the most outrages 'fail' that has ever been witnessed by those Al's Footy Things regulars (1-5), so give you self a slap on the back and hope you don't fall over. Back in a couple of weeks, take care. Al Boring Sunday fact klaxon - If you chose a team this weekend starting with the letters A-L, you made it through. If you went above that, with letters M-Z, you got knocked out. |
