Week Thirty

RICHARD WILLIAMS has remained top this weekend and this is now his ninth weekend at the top.  Richard’s combination picked him up a total of four goals over the weekend. They came from Hibernian 2, Manchester City and Rangers each picking up a single goal. SIMON DICKINSON finds himself still three goals behind Richard. Simon.s teams also picked him up four goals for the week from Celtic, Manchester City and Portsmouth.

At the other end, it’s still STEPTOE & SON at number 119 for his sixth weekend as his combination picked him up eight goals for the week. His teams are Queens Park, Queens Park Rangers and Queen of the South. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
 Only sixteen of you failed to pick up some more midweek goals this week but we had another five players to reach that magic score 50 or more goals bringing the total up to 70 this week.
The highest score this week was a total of eight goals and they all went to PETER MURPHY. Pete picked up his goals from Charlton one Manchester United three and Southend four goals from their two games played this week. He now has a total of 46 midweek goals.
So this is how the race to £40 is looking this week. DANIEL GOODSON moves out in front this week as he picks up three goals from just one of his teams. That  team was Middlesbrough which brings his total to 70 goals. Daniel’s other two teams are Manchester city and Rangers. In joint second place this week are JOHN DAVIES, and JAMES HUNTER who were joint leaders last week with CRAIG EVANS still in second place and ADRIAN BEW up from three. All four are on 67 goals. In third place down from two is DAVE WESTON now on 65 goals while in fourth place both on 64 goals we have MARK UNSTEAD with JAMES WISE both down from three last week. 

This weekend we had our 41st winner of the season as our third lady to do so as SANDRA NICHOLLS wins on a total of 7 goals. Sandra started with Golden Goals back in our 2007/08 Season where she finished in 42nd place on 250 goals and she has been with us ever since. Last season Sandra finished in 101 with a total of 214 goals. This season she has picked up three blank score sheets and 101 is the best that she has done so far this season. Sandra’s best team is Chelsea netting her 57 of her total of 153 goals.

  ARSENAL 2, CHELSEA 2, MANCHESTER UNITED 3 

WEEKEND RESULTS                          
After a promising start to the week from the midweek results, the weekend failed to carry that on. So once again our average score remained at 4 goals for a third weekend running. We had a total of eight teams that had no game and another six that failed to score any goals which is not all that really bad for us. But it was a very low scoring weekend with three being the highest score and we had six teams that picked them up.

Capital One Cup Final
We had both of the teams in the first trophy of the season. LIVERPOOL with a total of four votes took on MANCHESTER CITY with fifty-two. Manchester City scored first in this premiership final after the start of the second half. Liverpool came back with the equaliser in the 83rd minute of normal time. This is how it remained in normal time and it also remained 1-1 after extra time. In the penalty shoot-out, Manchester city won 3-1. So the first piece of silver ware goes to Manchester City and the goals takes them up to a total of 74 goals. Liverpool’s goal gives them a total of 54.
