Early doors, early bath.

[Ralfbergs]

Wow, the second time I barely make it, next gameweek will be tough I guess.

[Surprised]

Through to fight another day

[Moist von Lipwig]

the comforting blanket of mid table obscurity

[TheTon]

Defending champ squeezes through

[jpk]

rubbish game

[Spencer4]

Think I'm, over the hill

[OllY39]

Early bath for me aswell,oh well got to have some luck with predictions and I did'nt.

[goldenballs]

Defending champ squeezes through

Doubles partner I beg to differ,flying killer cob was knocked out!

[murf]

If you look back on the 2010/11 thread it was won by TheTon who beat barrydixey 7-5 in the final. In 2009/10 it was flyingkillercob who beat Big Bird 6-4 in the final. If I get time I will trawl the archives for the historical results and to see just how long this has been going (10 years including the recent break???)

[goldenballs]

I thought fkc win was last before competitions were disbanded

[goldenballs]

I see now apologies to everybody

[murf]

FISO Goals died during the 10/11 season but we'd already squeezed in the EDC by then.

[TheTon]

I see now apologies to everybody

Apologies to everybody? How about apologising to your partner...??

[Alchemist]

Crikey - I thought I was a gonner!!!!

[goldenballs]

I see now apologies to everybody

Apologies to everybody? How about apologising to your partner...??

Only in doubles this ones dog eat dog!

[murf]

Nails definitely being bitten here.

Do I put my trust in my beloved Liverpool?

Could it be worth playing tactically if you are sweating?

[murf]

Can't see (m)any getting 3 points tonight to overtake me so I expect my 7 pts will be enough.

To be confirmed. ..

An impressive 3 points tonight for frattonender pulls him into the next round. Alchemist and murf squeeze in in joint 16th place.
