Do you want to hear a scary story......? No, it's not José coming back to the premiership.
It's Liverpool and Man City's inability to win against average mid-table teams ......... AAARRRGGGGHHHhhhhhahaha.....oh. 73 of us have been dumped out in this first week of the rollover, without any hope of grabbing ourselves even a fraction of the pot. That prize will be going to one or more of the remaining 30 players, who can click HERE to make their next prediction.... and before bedtime on Thursday please, as we have a Friday night game coming up. Sunday Fact - Amy got through with Arsenal.... against Leicester. That shut me up. Evening and thanks for joining in the latest game of Al's Footy Thing.
We have 103 players taking part, giving us a rollover pot of £1025. This pushes us over the limit for the 'one winner' rule, meaning this pot has to be won at the end of this game, either by one of you, or split amongst those that get the furthest. Man City (37) are out in front with your picks this weekend, with Liverpool (30) and Chelsea (22) following up. Leaving only 14 of you to risk going with any other team and only Luca (Watford) and Amy (Arsenal) are in with a chance (nope) of walking off with the pot at this early stage. Good luck and have a good weekend. Friday Fact - Man City have kept a clean sheet in their last 5 homes PL games. Ohhhhh that was close.
An 87th minute goal for Palace, overturned by VAR, snatches victory away from Crystal Palace, meaning we have a ROLLOVER starting next Saturday!!! WooHoo, I hear, from 103 of you. Callum, Theo and Tom have a free pass for the next pool, so you can make your opening predictions straight away. Chris A, Andy L, Leo, Liz, Charlie, Graham B, Jacques and Jeanette are all in credit, so don't need to pay and can also click straight through. For the rest of you, fivers to me at the usual account and then click HERE to make that opening prediction. Cheers. As we head into the eighth week of this pool, we suddenly have 102 players that are big Newcastle fans, crossing our fingers that Bruce's departure can spur them on to a win, or at least a draw, in their first game after a couple of weeks (years?) of turmoil.
By 5 o'clock on Saturday we'll know if Callum, Theo and Tom picked well with Palace and get to continue on for another week, or we get a rollover and a pot of around £1000. Just to clarify........ If the pot is under £1000, only a single player can win. If two (or more) players progress equally until they both lose, they get free entry to the next game, everyone else puts in a fiver, and we have a 'Rollover'. If the pot is over £1000, it will be split amongst the players that progress the furthest. This rule was put in place to stop it getting too serious, as £1000 is a lot of cash. Have a good weekend. Thursday Fact - Feels like a Friday. Oooffff, what a weekend. But it's late, so I'll keep this short.
Three of you make it through, whilst thirteen of you..... don't. Painful...! Click HERE to make that next prediction. And there's a Friday night game next week, so predictions in by Thursday bedtime please. |
