Week Eighteen

LAURIE KING is now in his second weekend at the top. Laurie picked up a total of nine goals for the week with four in midweek from Rangers and at the weekend, he picked up five from Arsenal 3 and Peterborough 2. Laurie’s teams are Arsenal, Peterborough and Rangers. Laurie is now three goals clear of  RICHARD WILLIAMS as his remains in second place. Richards teams  picked him up eight goals in midweek but none at the weekend. His teams are Hibernian, Manchester City and Rangers.

At the other end, it’s still JOHN NICHOLLS now in his seventeenth weekend at number 119 as his combination picked him up eight goals one in midweek from Bolton and seven from the weekend.  His teams are Arsenal, Bolton and  Newcastle. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 
Most of us managed to pick up some more goals this week but the highest score this week was a massive total of fourteen goals and they all went to JOHN DAVIES who had Liverpool, Manchester City and Rangers. John is now on a total of 41 midweek goals and not that far behind the field.
So there was just a little change in the race for the cash once again this week. CRAIG EVANS is still in the lead this week but he is now joined with DANIEL GOODSON up from second place. Both are now on a total of 48 goals. In second place up from four is RICHARD WILLIAMS with 44 goals. In third we still have NATHAN TREADWELL on a total of 43 goals while in fourth place both on 42 goals we have back in BARBARA BARNES (2) and TOM MACDONALD. In fifth place we have JOHN DAVIES, JAMES HUNTER and TONY KING all on 41 goals. Down from four to six this week is MARK HOWARD and ADRIAN BEW both on 40 goals. 

This weekend we had our nineteenth winner of  the season winning on a score of just 7 goals. Not many of us had all of our teams playing which is why we had a very low winning score, but the winner for the full £5 goes to JOHN NICHOLLS. Although John has spent most of the season right at the bottom of the table, it’s nice to see what no matter where you are in the table. You can still pick up some cash.
John has been with us for eleven seasons now and I would like to thanks him for his support over the years. When he started way back in our 2005/06 Season, John finished in 49th place on 240 goals. Last season John finished on a total of 194 goals which left him rock bottom.but he did have two weekends wins taking home just over £4 in cash. Could this be John’s third season at the foot of the table? Last season he had the fifth best losers score but he also hold’s the  27th best losers score of 168 goals in our 2008/09 Season.
This season he has picked up three blank score sheets and his best team is Arsenal with 29 goals. Highest position is 108 in the very first weekend of football. His teams are

ARSENAL 3, BOLTON 2,  NEWCASTLE 2 

WEEKEND RESULTS                                
We had a terrible weekend for goals as eighteen of our teams had no game which most were cancelled due to  the weather. Another fifteen that failed to score any goals. So with that,  it was not a very high scoring weekend as the average score went down to just one goal each. Once again our top teams failed to perform very well with only Arsenal scoring out of our top five English teams that were in action.
We had four teams that picked up this weekend’s highest score with three goals each. They were Arsenal, Brighton, Cardiff and Nottingham Forest.
