No fixtures!? That's a blessing in disguise thanks to my measly total this week!

i was thinking that after saturday but i picked up nearly 30 points last night with evra and rooney to come

Gents

I've made a bit of a balls up (I didnt take a cut of the scores prior to the weekend's points being added on).

Consequently I've gotta work them all out manually.

So bare with me and the scores (and tables) will be updated in good time.

Sorry.

Week 15

Suzykins 18 - 25 CarlisleTillIDie
Gazwood 33 - 10 Alchemist
pa102aw 34 - 42 Red Dog
Doggfazsha 53 - 10 Madchester
Birchy 53 - 44 Jackarmy

If no one questions their score, I'll update the table tomorrow.
Apologies for the shambolic running of this competition (I now know how UEFA feel)!

I think your allowed one mistake per season Zimm. Good job.

I can confirm that you have my weekly score correct at 33 points.

oooh 3 points lead with 3 games to go!

Complete with a 'monster' final day fixture for yourself and 2nd place, allowing me to win it by a nose!!

Remind me how many teams 'potentially' get promoted?

Seeing as no one objected (and a couple confirmed), I'll assume my calculations are correct.

Table on page one now updated.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Dont think I actually said.
I think to keep it interesting, 2 up 2 down makes sense for this first season (depending on numbers dropping out).

We can have a vote in the close season (something to while away those barren months) on the format the season should take.

Week 16

With the top 2 looking like a 3 horse race between Birchy, pa102aw and Gazwood, all is not lost for the chasing pack. Its still mathematically possible for 3 other teams to make it into the promotion spots.

At the bottom, Madchester is well and truly down without a prayer of escaping the wooden spoon. Although he faces 3rd place Gazwood and could yet cause an upset in this promotion race. Although with just 7 wins in 25 games (stretching back to the Prelim round) its unlikely.
That said, he did beat champion elect Birchy a couple of weeks ago.

CarlisleTillIDie 34 - 39 Birchy
Jackarmy 39 - 24 Doggfazsha
Madchester 27 - 30 pa102aw
Red Dog 26 - 21 Gazwood
Alchemist 18 - 22 Suzykins

A real blow for me this week

At least i'm comforted by a certain 5-1 scoreline!

It's the last weekend of the Competition and it's a top of the table clash between myself and Birchy. If I lose and Gazwood manages a win against Jackarmy he will move above me into second place on goal difference. :?

and it could be a weekend of rested players. hows your team/injuries shaping up?

i would say i was misisng rooney and if liverpool beat chelsea id say gerrard and torres aswel.

my last transfer window was shite.

I don't think this weekends totals have been added or the league updated has it yet? Meaning you could both be promoted or both be battling it out for that final spot!!

Well spotted Gaz. I don't know if me or Birchy both won or lost last weekend, no doubt the Zimmerman will sort it out soon.

Hopefully you both lost but I don't think my HUGE total of 14 would've had much impact on the outcome of the title, handing madchester a shock win!

Table updated gents.

You are indeed correct... the title will go to the winner of pa102aw v birchy.

Waiting in the wings to gain promotion is Gaz (who's decent goal difference coupled with a final day win "should" be enough).

Week 17

Alchemist 7 - 14 CarlisleTillIDie
Suzykins 13 - 23 Red Dog
Gazwood 14 - 5 Madchester
pa102aw 17 - 8 Jackarmy
Doggfazsha 22 - 17 Birchy

Final day fixtures
w/e 3rd May
CarlisleTillIDie - Doggfazsha
Birchy - pa102aw
Jackarmy - Gazwood
Madchester - Suzykins
Red Dog - Alchemist

Looks like i'll only get promoted if both myself and Birchy win!!

C'mon Birchy me ol' china!!

Birchy and I could come to a gentlemans agreement a la Germany v Austria and settle for a draw.

Ps. Just noticed that last weekend Birchy scored 17pts and I scored 17pts so a draw isn't out of the question.

It's cards on the table time Birchy. This is my lot, lets be having yours.

Almunia
Clichy
Carvahlo
Alex
Vidic

Ronaldo
Gilberto
Gerard

Benjani
Torres
Ashton

ok here it is

Alumina
Evra
Carvalho
Laursen
Beletti
Gerrard
Arteta
Fabregas
Rooney
Torres
Anelka

my last transfers were to bring in alumia/belletti! ouchie.

this could be close.

oh and i will take a draw and top spot!!

You'll take the win my son!!!!

Lets hope that Evra's injury last nigh was nothing trivial.

apprently he will be fine.

it looked a lot like a good chance to keep him on the ground and make a subsitution

Going on initial points it looks like it's a second consecutive year in Division 1 for me!!?

its not looking good. ronaldo will no doubt get star man and possible notw world points.

top all year to be pipped on the final day of the season. gutted.

although i can take it being ronaldo. VIVA RONALDO!!

Didn't realise you didn't have Ronaldo

Hopefully pa102aw will eat you up, i'll destroy jackarmy and pip you to second by way of points difference!
