Last Update of the Season

The final whistle has been blown on our historic 33^rd   Season of Golden Goals and it was not a great season for goals. But it was the season that we managed to beat our highest ever record of entries with 119. The success of the season was all down to you. The good news is that we do not have to wait long for the next season to start. Although we once again lost a few friends this season, we have also gained a lot of new ones. Lets hope that we can continue with this nice run as we have had a lot of success over our full 33 year history of Golden Goals.

This season we have had a couple of  records that have been broken this season, but more on this later. I hope that you have had a lot of fun watching your name go up and down the table and as shown above, where your combination of teams have left you standing in the final position of the season. But before we go all into that, lets take a look at what happened to the last few games of the season.

 So it’s Congratulations to RICHARD WILLIAMS as he now becomes our 33^rd Champion with Golden Goals and takes the prize money of a grand total of £100 in winnings. We can now add  Richard’s name in our history book and in the Champions League where he finished in 23^rd  place on 298 goals. Richard had the combination of  HIBERNIAN (88) MANCHESTER CITY (97) and RANGERS (113). Just two of his teams finished in our top best three teams and they were Manchester City and Rangers. Richard picked up  just three blank score sheet throughout the season and his highest score was 12 goals in weeks 9. Richard had a total of 20 week’s at number one with six of them all in the last six weeks of the season. In the end he finished five goals clear of  Simon Dickinson who finally finished in second place. 

ROAD TO CHAMPION 
So our new Champion’s name, RICHARD WILLIAMS is now in our history book, but what about the other people who managed to get to that magic number one spot.We had a total of ten people that made it to that number one slot. We already know about Richard’s 20 week’s at the top who stayed there the longest. After our Champion, we then had our 2001/02 Champion LAURIE KING with 7 weeks from week 17 to 23 while DANIEL GOODSON was their for 6 weeks from week 8 to 13. STEVEN CADWELL was their for 3 weeks from week 4 to 6 with six players that had a single week each. They were MICK LIDDLE in our 1^st week, MARK HOWARD in week 2, GEOFFREY PAIN in week 3, TONY KING in week 7, SIMON DICKINSON in week 28 and BOB SOPER in week 37. 

So what happened to our past Champions. Well we only had a total of thirteen that played in this seasons competition and only one of them finished in the top thirty and they were LAURIE KING our 2001/02 Champion in 6^th place. We had another three Champions that finished in the top fifty. In 37^th Place was DAVE SOMERVILLE our 2009/10 Champion and TONY GUY our 2010/11 Champion in 42^nd place with ALICE STUBBS our 2012/13 Champion in 46^th place . Below is the list of our top five champions of  Golden Goals.

                                           CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

                         NAME                               M/W           W/E          TOTAL

                     1. L. KING                             116            239              355      2001/02

                     2. P. DAVEY                           132             216             348      2013/14

                     5. P. CHRISTOPHER             123             204             327      1983/84

At the other end of the table, we had just three players that landed on that rotten number of 119. GRAEME BRITTON holds the record for the best of our losers league with 214 goals from our 2004/05 season. The person who finished rock bottom this season was STEPTOE & SON with a total of 13 weeks throughout the season. First they were there from weeks 25 to 33 and then again from weeks 39 to 42. They picked up a total of six blank score sheets over the season. They had the combination of QUEENS PARK (55) QUEENS PARK RANGERS (58) and QUEEN OF THE SOUTH (51) total of 164 goals. Steptoe & Son combination finished in 29^th place in our losers league and they now add’s their name in the history book.

Although Steptoe & Son finished rock bottom, it was JOHN NICHOLLS that stayed there the longest with a total of 28 weeks. From week 2 to 24 and 34 to 38. With just the one week, which was our first weekend of football we had COLIN WEBB.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 

The Prize Money for the 100 Midweek Goals Jackpot of £40 was not won this season and will then be added to next seasons jackpot. The nearest player to get their was DANIEL GOODSON on 96 goals who had Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Rangers.

PAUL DAVEY holds the record by picking up the highest midweek score in our 33 year history with 132 goals from the 2013/14 season.

BEAT THE SCORE 

The fantastic sum of  £55 cash prize money for BEAT THE SCORE has not been picked up once again this season. The prize money will go to the first person who scores 19 goals or more at the weekend. So I hope that next season we can add again to that. The holder of this record is Mark Rymer with 18 goals scored way back in our 1998/99 season, so it’s about time that some-one beat that score?

THE BEST THREE TEAMS FINISHED AS

RANGERS (113) CELTIC (108) MANCHESTER CITY (97) Total of  318 goals.

We had just two teams this season that picked up 100 or more goals. They are our best team RANGERS with that fantastic score of 113 goals. This is their 32^nd season with Golden Goals and this is their 14^th season with 100 or more goals scored by the end of the season. The good news here is that they have beaten last seasons score of 87 goals. Rangers have scored a total of 3137 goals which gives them an average total of 98 goals per season. Rangers had a total of 21 votes. It was also their 14^th season out of thirty-three for our second best team CELTIC. They finished with a total of 108 goals and failed to beat their best score of 122 goals scored back in our 2000/01 Season. Celtic have a 100% record with us and the good news is that this is their 6^th consecutive season with 100 or more goals. Over the 33 seasons, they have scored a total of 3169 goals which now gives them an average score of 99 goals per season. Last season they scored 110 goals. They had a total of 64 votes this season. The third best team was MANCHESTER CITY and they just beat last seasons score of 92 with 97 goals. They have scored a total of 1732 goals over the 22 seasons that they have appeared with Golden Goals. This gives them an average score of 78 goals per season. The 52 votes they had this season, were all looking towards them beating that record score of 137 goals back two seasons ago in the 2014/15 Season.

So lets see what happened to our other teams to see if they have broken any records this time round. Our fourth best team was PETERBOROUGH who ended the season with a total of 95 goals. With just one vote, this was Peterborough’s third best end of season score. They have only picked up 100 or more goals once and that is their personal best of 129 goals scored in the 2010/11 Season. Last season they finished on 55 goals.

PORTSMOUTH finished on a total of 88 goals which is their best score in their last five seasons with Golden Goals. Last season they finished on a total of 55 goals. They had a total of four votes. EXETER picked up their best score with us with 75 goals. That beats their last top score of 55 goals from our very first season. They had just one vote this season. TOTTENHAM picked up their best goals total in their last five games with 78 goals. They just beat last seasons total of 75 goals. They had just three votes this season. WIGAN picked up their second best end of season score with 83 goals just missing out beating their highest score of 89 in our 1998/99 Season.

In Scotland, CLYDE picked up their best score with 60 goals in their second season with Golden Goals. They have beaten their first score of 41 goals back in our 2004/05 Season.

THE WORST THREE TEAMS FINISHED AS

BLACKPOOL (40) NORWICH (45) BOLTON (46) Total of 131 goals.

Well the worst team for this season finished with just 40 goals in their 17^th Season with Golden Goals and they were BLACKPOOL. Blackpool’s goals were scored in a total of 48 league/cup games. This is not their worst score as they finished on only 39 goals last Season. They had just one votes this season. Next we had NORWICH finishing on 45 goals which is their lowest score in their last five seasons with us. They had just one vote this season and their worst score is 44 goals from the 2004/05 season. BOLTON finished in third place with their lowest score in fourteen season of 46 goals. They also had just one vote. Their lowest score prior to this was 49 goals back in our 1995/96 Season. Our fourth worst team was WATFORD with 46 goals. They picked up their second lowest score just beating their lowest goals total of 41 goals back in the 2006/07 Season. They had just one vote.

Meanwhile ARSENAL finished on 77 goals which was their worst in their last 17 seasons with us. CHELSEA finished on 76 goals which was their lowest score in their last 15 seasons. MK DONS finished on 49 which was their worst score ever in Golden Goals. PRESTON also picked up their worst score in 19 seasons. Last season they finished on 101 goals. CHARLTON scored just 50 goals this season which is their lowest in their last ten outings.

In Scotland STENHOUSEMUIR picked up their lowest score of 49 goals. Their previous lowest was 50 goals back in the 1997/98 Season. QUEEN OF THE SOUTH finished on 51 goals which is their lowest in their last five seasons with us.

So how did our new teams do in their very first season with Golden Goals.Well BURTON ALBION in the English League One finished on a total of 59 goals and finished second in the table where they will be playing in the Championship next season.

In Scotland we had two new teams. BERWICK finished with a total of 50 goals while QUEENS PARK finished on 55 goals.

The highest scoring team in our 33^rd Season is CELTIC from the Scottish Premiership, when they beat Hamilton 8-1 at home in a midweek league game in week twenty-five.

BLACKPOOL from League One have picked up the most number of blank score sheets this season with a total of twenty-three out of forty-eight games played.

 Our Golden Goals blog has picked up a lot of interest again this season as we have now had over 7,600 hits to date. I was hoping that we would attract more people out in the big wide world to join in but no luck just yet, so lets hope that we can for our 34^th Season.

I do hope that you all have a great summer and look out for the NEW 2016/17 Entry Forms for the next fantastic 34^th Season of Golden Goals in early part of July 2016. See you all then.

Below are our top thirty winners who won cash from £100 to £3.00. We have had an enjoyable season for our 33rd and I hope that 34 is going to be even better.

No Joy In The Play-off Finals

We have the last two results for our 33^rd year here at Golden Goals and they were the finals for the play-offs for the English League’s One & two.

In League One we had just one of our teams in the play-offs and they were MILLWALL. They had beaten Bradford in the semi-finals and faced Barnsley in the final. But the Lions roar was more of a Lions growl as Barnsley went two up within the first twenty minutes. MIllwall did come back just after the first half hour to go in at half time 2-1 down. Things did not get any better in the second half as Barnsley scored a third goal.

Although Millwall finally lost 3-1, am sure that we will hear more of Millwall next season. Millwall finished on a total of 83 goals and they had scored in all of their last nine games.

In League twos final PLYMOUTH who finished in fifth place in the league, and had scored in all of their last eleven games they faced AFC Wimbledon in the final but lost 2-0 to them. Both of Wimbledon’s goals came very late in the game in the 78^th minute and in injury time after 90 minutes with a penalty. Plymouth picked up their 8^th blank of the season.

Well that’s the end of the 2015/16 season but we still have the final New Sheet of do which should be out to you all that are in the competition by the weekend. But for those of you who take a look now and then on this blog, please still do so as I will be publishing how our Golden Goals teams did over the season.

Hull Back In Premiership

After a tough second leg game against Derby in the Championship Semi-final, HULL made it to the finals to play against Sheffield Wednesday for a place in the Premiership. The good news to our five Golden Goals voters is that they are back in the Premiership after they beat Sheffield Wednesday just 1-0. The goal came in the last ten minutes of play and they finished on a fantastic total of 83 goals. Hull had a good season in the Championship after they were relegated from the Premiership last season. They finished in fourth place in the league.

Scottish Premiership Play-off Final 2nd Leg

FALKIRK’S fantastic run in the Scottish play-offs has come to an end as they lost their second and final leg in their promotion race for the premiership. After winning the first leg 1-0 against Kilmarnock, they really got in to trouble at Rugby Park and lost 4-0 away. Kilmarnock won 4-1 on aggregate and remained in the premiership for next season. Falkirk who finished second after Rangers in the Championship, picked up their fifth blank score sheet of the season.

United Win FA Cup

MANCHESTER UNITED have won the FA CUP for the twelfth time as they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 after extra time. The last time that Manchester United won the cup was back in 2004.

Crystal Palace did not show much fight in the first half of normal time and let United do all the work. But they held United’s attacks and it was 0-0 at half time. Second half and I was hoping for Palace to jump into action but with just the odd attack at United’s goal but palace did scored the first goal of the match by Puncheon after 78 minutes but United quickly respond to their goal and scored a few minutes later with a goal by Mata. United did hit the woodwork twice in the second half but at the end of 90 minutes the scored ended 1-1.

So extra time was needed and the play picked up pace. But United’s Smalling was sent off after 105 minutes for a second foul. So with ten men, United played even better and United’s winner came 12 minutes left of the second half of extra time with a goal by Lingard. It would of been nice to see Palace win the cup for the first time but they are not up to standard just yet.

United have not had a great season and they finished fifth in the premiership and with a total of 66 goals.

Hibernian Win the Scottish Cup after 114 years.

HIBERNIAN have won the Scottish Cup final after they beat RANGERS 3-2 at Hampden Park. Hibs went into the lead after just three minutes of play with a goal from Stokes before Rangers equalised within the half hour of the first half. It was 1-1 at half time but Rangers came back with a goal after 64 minutes before Hibs scored two goals in the last ten minutes of play.
Hibernian may of missed out to play in the Premiership next season but they do now have a shining new cup in the trophy room. Hibernian finished on a total of 88 goals while Rangers although promoted back into the Premiership, end their season on a total of 113 goals.

Millwall Roar into Final

MILLWALL have roared into the finals of the League One play-offs as they drew 1-1 with Bradford in the second leg game. Millwall win the tie 4-2 on aggregate and will play Barnsley on 29^th May. Millwall take their goals total to 82. They have just two votes this season and have scored in all of their last eight games.

Advantage Falkirk in Play-off Final

FALKIRK have beaten Kilmarnock 1-0 in their first round Premiership play-off final and are now half way to be playing in the Scottish Premiership next season, Falkirk take their goals tally to 78. They have done very well in the play-off rounds as they have now score six goals in three of the games so far in fact they have now scored in all of their last twelve games with seven goals in their last four games. They will play their second leg game on Sunday 22^nd May.

United Win Their Last League Game

MANCHESTER UNITED have finally played their last league game of the season against Bournemouth and won 3-1 at home. The result moves them up to fifth place in the Premiership on 66 points the same as Manchester City above them, but City have the better goal difference.

United are now on a total of 64 goals and they still have the FA Cup Final to play in this weekend against Crystal Palace.

In the Championship 2^nd leg play-off game between HULL and DERBY we nearly saw Derby turn the play-off around. They were 3-0 down against Hull from the first leg but won the second leg 2-0. But Hull won this tie 3-2 on aggregate and will play Sheffield Wednesday in the final on 28^th May at home. Derby finish the season on 72 goals while Hull picked up their 14^th blank score sheet of the season.

No Glory For Brighton

BRIGHTON will remain in the English Championship next season as they drew their second play-off game against Sheffield Wednesday 1-1. That means that Sheffield Wednesday win 3-1 on aggregate. The single goal means that Brighton have finished on a grand total of 75 goals. They had just one vote this season.

Brighton finished in third place in the league on goal difference with second place Middlesbrough.

Week Forty-One

RICHARD WILLIAMS lead has been cut right down to just one goal this weekend as he picks up just five goals for the week. This is now his 19^th week over the season and five weeks in a row. Richard’s combination has Hibernian, Manchester City  and Rangers. He has climbed up the Champions table this week and is now in 24^th place as he has now beaten my score of 290 goals back in the 2008/09 Season and Ricky Wood/Gerry Kyei joint winners of our 2007/08 Season with 293 goals.

SIMON DICKINSON has jumped into second place this weekend and is one goal behind Richard as his combination picked him up a total of 11 goals for the week. His teams are Celtic, Manchester  City and Portsmouth. Simon has already had a weekend at the top in week twenty-eight.

At the other end, STEPTOE & SON is still at the 119 spot after their combination picked up three goals from midweek. Their combination is once again Queens Park, Queens Park Rangers and Queen of the South. Although this is their third weekend at the bottom of the table they are now in their 12^th week at 119. They remain in the 29^th place in the losers league again this weekend. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

Most of us managed to pick up some last minute midweek goals this week but the highest score to be picked up this week was once again five goals and they went to STEVEN AYRES, BRADLEY CLARK and AMANDA MORRISON.

The race for the £40 Midweek Jackpot is over for this season for DANIEL GOODSON who is just four goals away from the cash with a total of 96 goals. His team were Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Rangers

In second place this week we have RICHARD WILLIAMS who moves up from third place with a total of 91 goals with his goals coming from the two Hibernian games with four goals. CHRIS SETFORD still on 89 goals moves down to third place while down to fourth place we have CRAIG EVANS with 88 goals. In Fifth place on 87 goals we have DAVID STAINS who moved down from third place. In sixth place both on 86 we have JOHN DAVIES and BENJAMIN WAYMARK both moved down from fourth place last week. 

There was no cash prize money again this weekend but if there was it would of gone to DARREN DAVIDSON who picked up the highest score of the weekend with a fantastic total of 14 goals. That is his person best of the season and it shot Darren's name up to 21^st place. This is the highest that Darren has been this season and he has had a total of four blank score sheets. The goals came from ARSENAL 4, CELTIC 7 and HULL 3.

WEEKEND RESULTS

We are now well into injury time here at Golden Goals as the referee takes another look at his watch. What a weekend we have had with most of you picking up goals in double figures. But for most of you the season is now over and now you will have to wait to see where you have ended up in the final table which will be with you after the Cup finals and play-off finals. We do have a hand full of teams still in action so keep looking at our Golden Goals blog to find out who.

PREMIERSHIP

So we had the very last league games of the season and we already know that Leicester City are this season’s league champions but we still have Manchester United yet to play after the weekend drama at Old Trafford.

CHAMPIONSHIP Play-Off

We already know that Brighton lost their first game against Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 but we also had another two teams involved in the play-offs.
