Week Nineteen


There were some midweek games which I have not posted the results on this blog so here they are. We had just three of our teams in midweek action this week but one of them failed to pick up any goals. That team was RANGERS as they went down 2-0 away to Queen of the South. That was Rangers second blank score sheet in their last four games. MANCHESTER UNITED won 2-1 away to Southampton.
In the WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP 4th Round, DUNFERMLINE are out of the cup as they lose 3-2 at home to Stranraer.

As we are near half time with this season already the weekends average score moved back up to 5 goals which is much better. The reason for this is that we had some very good results although seven of our teams failed to net any goals and another four teams that had no game this weekend.
Our highest score this weekend came from NORWICH as they win 5-0 at home to Huddersfield. This is Norwich’s highest score of their season and they are now on a total of 38 goals.
Norwich never have been a high voted team as they only have one vote this season. Norwich have been with Golden Goals for thirteen seasons now and they started with us in our second season in 1984/85. Their highest score was in 2009/10 where they finished on 102 goals. Last time out in the following season they finished on 88 goals which is still very good. Over the thirteen seasons they have netted a total of 873 goals to date which gives them an average of  67 goals per season.

City won just 1-0 away to Leicester City and that was their 40th goal of the season.  MANCHESTER UNITED are now in third place and are currently on winning form as they win again this weekend 3-0 at home to LIVERPOOL.
