Though of course for robin it *is* nearly 12 noon on Saturday 19th July, but that somehow isn't quite the point...

I think Egon wants a Pools Panel, although I could be mistaken.

B

I thought he was merely demonstrating his skills at esperanto

howdy, i jumped on quickly to post and didn't look at the first post. sometimes it's 12 noon friday. not often i know, but sometimes.

Right, I'm back from the pub. And it's time to do the Pools Panel malarky all over again for Egon and Number Six


Egon's picks are:
DC United 1-0 San Jose Earthquakes
Columbus Crew 3-3 Kansas City Wizards
Chicago Fire 0-1 New England Revolution
Dallas Burn 0-0 MetroStars
Charleston Battery 0-1 Rochester Raging Rhinos
... and no scorer points


Number Six's are:
DC United 1-0 San Jose Earthquakes
Columbus Crew 0-2 Kansas City Wizards
Chicago Fire 1-1 New England Revolution
Dallas Burn 4-1 MetroStars
Charleston Battery 0-0 Rochester Raging Rhinos
... and no scorer points

I'm pleased to announce that this week places 1 to 3 were taken up by human pickings, and not those done by the machine. I guess we know a little more about US soccer than we thought we did. Either that or their website is in English

--------------------------------

The Results:

DC United 1-2 San Jose Earthquakes (CURTIS, Roner, Lagos)

Columbus Crew 0-1 Kansas City Wizards (SIMUTENKOV)

Chicago Fire 3-1 New England Revolution (GRAY, Mapp, Ralph, Twellman)

Dallas Burn 1-1 MetroStars (DAVIS, Magee)

Charleston Battery 1-1 Rochester Raging Rhinos (MILLER, Henderson)

[Note - the last two games were won 2-1 in overtime by Metrostars and Rochester respectively. But as it happened in overtime, those scores don't count for this competition ]

------------------------------

The Points:

Ormondroyd - 6 points (DC, Chicago & Charleston result)

GreyDesk - 6 points (DC & Chicago result, Dallas & Charleston scorer)

Master B - 0 points - sorry about that sunshine

Otto Fisch - 8 points (DC result & score, Chicago scorer, Dallas result, Charleston scorer & 1st scorer)

Robin - 2 points (Columbus result)

Egon - 2 points (Dallas result)

Number Six - 4 points (Columbus & Charleston result)

Tonto & Kiltedjedi - MIA - no points

-------------------------


And that little lot makes Otto our week 10 weekly winner! Good stuff

Yay! A hat-trick!

I'm sure you won't believe me B, but I was genuinely quite upset that you got no points this week.

Awww. Thanks, mate.

I still think three ducks in a row must be an achievement of sorts. Can it get a mention underneath the league table, along with the Full Houses?

B

I don't know if anyone noticed, cares, or is still subscribed, but I've just noticed that Egon's inebriation was a Quote Of The Day last January, some six years after it was first posted.

Time flies, eh?

Bored, B?
