Merry Christmas from Golden Goals

 

It’s that time of year once again where I would like to thank everyone who has taken a look at our blog over another troubled year. We have had over 53,300 hits to date and we hope that it will continue to interest football fans around the world. But although we have had people from all over the world looking to see what is going on in Golden Goals, no one has ever asked questions about this great competition. We want to build this competition up in numbers, so if you think that you would like to take part in Season 40, please drop me an email to Steve at goldengoals1983@gmail.com  But in the meantime may I take this opportunity to thank you for your tremendous support throughout 2021 and to wish you all 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Some Good News - For Now

The Premier League and EFL clubs have chosen to carry on with the Boxing Day fixtures despite ongoing disruption caused by Covid-19 cases here in the UK. The Premier League's clubs met today to discuss the fixture list after six weekend games were postponed. No voting took place and so two rounds of fixtures are in place across five days from 26 December, while the EFL will play games "where it is safe to do so".

It had been expected that the Premier League's starting on 28 December, would be postponed in order to ease the pressure on Premier League squads. Instead, clubs have been advised if they have 13 fit players, plus a goalkeeper, they should fulfil their games. 

FA Cup replays in rounds three and four have however been scrapped and talks are ongoing on whether to reduce EFL Cup semi-final ties to one-leg matches. 

Two Championship matches and five League Two games to be played on 26 December (Boxing Day) have already been called off because of positive Covid-19 cases. 

Golden Goals will carry on the best we can with Season 39.

Week Twenty

 

In Week Twenty of the competition its half-time here at Golden Goals but we had our first major setback this week as the new Covid variant has started to effect the league fixtures. I really don’t understand why 25% of the EFL players are not yet vaccinated. With under half of our teams that were fit to play this weekend, we have cancelled the cash prize money for this weekend. The FA are to have a meeting today to see what can be done about the rest of the season. It is hopped that we can have our Christmas Weekend Jackpot of £10 on Boxing day, but we will have to wait and see after the FA’s meeting. But lets see what happen to the teams that did manage to play this week. It was SAM LEGHORN that picked up our highest score with a total of 10 goals. Sam’s teams are   Arsenal 4, Manchester City 4, Tottenham 2 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

All but four of us managed to pick up some midweek goals this week and the race for the cash has changed once again.

WEEKEND RESULTS

We had just twenty-five of our teams in action this weekend after the rest of the games were cancelled due to teams picking up the new Covid variant.

Is Season 39 Over?

It is with sad news that the new Covid Comicron variant is now taking hold here in the UK. We have already started to see games being cancelled and the weekend coming up does not look too good for our English teams. We are at the half-time stage here at Golden Goals and I just don’t think that this season is going to finish. The news is that a quarter of the EFL players are not intending to get the Covid-19 vaccine so this will mean that more games will be postponed as the days roll on. So while we can, here are a couple of games that did play last night.

In the Premier League second place LIVERPOOL went a goal down against Newcastle but won the game 3-1 tom take their goals tally to 53 goals and they keep their 100% scoring record going. CHELSEA drew 1-1 at home to Everton and they are on 41 goals and a goal run of twelve games.

 

Arsenal Move Up

In the Premier League ARSENAL have moved up to fourth place after they won 2-0 at home against London rivals WEST HAM. Arsenal are on a total of 34 goals while West Ham are down to fifth place with their fifth blank score sheet and now two games in a row without a goal. BRIGHTON lost 1-0 at home to WOLVES and that is their sixth blank of the season while Wolves picked up their 19^th goal of the season after failing to score in their previous four games. CRYSTAL PALACE drew 2-2 at home against Southampton and they are on a total of 24 goals. 

In the Scottish Premiership RANGERS won 2-0 at home to St Johnstone to take their goals tally up to 48. CELTIC won 2-1 away to bottom of the table Ross County and they are on a total of 46 goals. 

In the FA CUP second round replay IPSWICH lost 2-0 away to Barrow to pick up their seventh blank of the season.

  

City Thrash Leeds

In the Premier League top of the table MANCHESTER CITY picked up their biggest result of the season after they thrashed Leeds Utd 7-0 at home. City have now taken their goals tally to 46 goals and they have now scored in all of their last six games. It's 30 goals for ASTON VILLA as they win 2-0 away to bottom of the table Norwich. 

Week Nineteen

In Week Nineteen of the competition we had our twenty-second winner of the season and the cash goes to GUY DOWSETT (2).  Guy won on a score of 9 goals and takes the full £5 this weekend. Guy started with Golden Goals back in the 2000/02 Season on where he finished in 35^th place with a total of 269 goals. He picked up one weekend shared win. Since the 2006/07 Season, Guy has had two combinations  in each season. Last season he finished in 75^th place with his second combo with a total of 243 goals and 94^th place with his first combo with 225 goals. This season his second combo has done very well for him. It has picked him up just two blank score sheets and the lowest position has been seventh in Week Three. Guy’s wining Teams are   

KELTY HEARTS 6, LIVERPOOL 1, RANGERS 2
