Nope Garry Nelson.

Look - for me that's bloody close - all I could manage with Burridge was goal-keeper - fat bloke - not Rimmer. I'm terrible with names Dolores.

Garry Nelson, Argyle legend!

He was yet another example us getting ourselves a decent player who liked it down in the West Country (and a lot of 'em don't, believe me) and wanted to stay and the board made a complete hash of his contractual situation so he ended up having to get himself a move elsewhere.

The follow-up, Left Foot in the Grave, isn't bad either - that's when he's Assistant Manager at Torquay.

well I've marked them all.

I'm bound to have made a mistake or two with that number of games, so please do check your own results carefully when I get round to posting the results thread.

All I've got to say about this week's performance is - thank god I've already got my mousemat from season what-ever-it-was, 'cos I'm never going to win one this time around



* wanders off muttering, "six points, only six measley points..." *

I don't think it's been a great week for me either.

(Watches McKay disappearing into the distance)

You're not wrong Ormy, you're down to joint sixth now

Me? I'm curently thirteenth, down 4 places


But at least I'm still ahead of Master B

Blimey, after all that I'm too shagged out to write any witty or incisive comments to go with this set of results. Suffice to say:

Well done McKay, you've won again with a tasty 24 points

Nice work DD, you got points in 11 of the 12 games. I don't think I've ever seen something like before

Welcome back todd_abraham87, and a nice start to your season

Oh, and of course it was Steve Claridge as the link. So that's a bonus point to Master B. You got it in about 20 minutes if I recall right

Fast Work GD Good Man.

However greedy basket that I am, I'm afraid I want another point for McGleish banging in the equalizer for Northampton.

GD........Not that it makes much difference to my average (being kind) week, but can i have a point for McGleish scoring please

Ive just realised that youve just forgot to list it down, but the point has been added, that goes for all of us whio put mcgleish down i think

Gd....im not sure, the point totals may be right, but for example, DD predicted a 3-1 win to wolves, and youve put down result for him (1-1), like i said, i think the points might be right anyway, just thought i'd let you know, some may be missing the mcgleish point, others (like me) won't.

I see what I've done. In setting up the spreadsheet for the results, I had to add two columns to it; and then I forgot to put a reference to them in the final concatenating formula

Anyway, here is what I think the final results should look like:

Well mine adds up now - Thanks.

It's worth playing this game just to get something called a 'Steve Claridge Bonus Point'.

B

If there were a prize that came with a Steve Claridge bonus point, what should it be?

A £5 voucher to spend at Ladbrokes?
A pair of football socks with no elastic in top, guaranteed to descend to ankle level within 10 minutes of taking the field?
A season ticket to Weymouth FC?

Anyone got any more ideas?

Permission to embarrass one's self on 'Superstars'?

B

If that's what you really want, consider it done.

A get into your local free card ?

A form guide ?

A free pop at a referee of your choice ?

Darn, you mean imiised out on getting points in one of the games.

And I still didn't manage to come out on top, hey!
