Week Thirty-Seven

This weekend the average score for the second weekend running stayed at  5 goals. We had eight teams that failed to score any goals and another four teams that had no game over the weekend.
The highest score that we had was six goals from League One where MK DONS beat poor old LEYTON ORIENT 6-1at home. The Dons become our first team to hit 100 goals this season as they are now on a total of 104 goals.
The Dons have been with Golden Goals for six seasons now and they started with us back in our 2007/08 Season and picked up 88 goals. This will be their best season ever as their highest score came in our 2011/12 Season with 105 goals. So this will be their second 100 goals in six seasons. Last season they netted a total of 76. Over the years they have scored a total of 520 goals which gives them an average of 86 goals per season to date. They have just one vote this season. Orient picked up goal number 60.
