Results (10th & 11th December)

Greetings amigos,

A high scoring weekend meant that spot-ons were few and far between this time around.  Mr Stewart-Jones again top scored with 8 points, as he managed to take a maximum 5 points from the Arsenal v Stoke encounter.  I was 1 point behind SJ having also called the game at The Emirates correctly, whilst Mr O'Callaghan also scored 7 points but did so without the helping hand of a 5 pointer.  Elsewhere Mr Raistrick scored 6, Mr Crinnion, Mr Moore and Mr West all scored 5, and Mr Luke scored 4 points.  Mr McClay failed to submit predictions.

Any mistakes let me know - festive fixture list to follow.

The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

The forth round of group matches and the immediate destiny of some managers in the tournament is starting to take shape.  Nothing is decided in Group A, as Adam defeated Theo W 4-3 in a tight encounter - only 1 point separates the 3 managers, so it's still all to play for in terms of qualifying for the knockout stage.  In Group B I got the better of Theo L 7-9 to pick up my second win of the tournament and give myself a good chance of progressing in the process.  Finally, in Group C Nick edged out Ben 3-2 and became the first manager to book his place in the semi-finals - Nick could be caught by Phil in the group, but with 9 points he would be guaranteed to win the place allocated to the best runner-up; with 3 defeats to his name in as many games, Ben is the first manager to be eliminated from the competition.

Any mistakes let me know - matchday 5 will take place on the weekend of 14th and 15th January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Greetings amigos,

Mr Stewart-Jones continued his convincing form by turning in the top score of the week with his 9 point haul including 2 spot-ons - SJ now has a commanding 14 point lead at the top of the overall table.  I managed to match the weekly pace by also scoring 9 points, whilst Mr Luke scored 7 to take his score past the century mark for the season.  Elsewhere Mr McClay also scored 7 points, whilst Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Moore scored 4, Mr Crinnion and Mr West scored 3 and finally Mr Raistrick scored 2.

Results (26th & 27th November)

Greetings amigos,

The weekend before the one just gone (apologies, slightly behind on the table updating front) saw some very high scoring.  Mr Stewart-Jones is making his move, no doubt about that - 3 spot-ons amongst a 13 point haul meant that he took the November MotM Award at a canter (11 points clear of his nearest competitor) and secured the 11th monthly award of his career to date - congratulations amigo!  No one can live with SJ's mightily impressive spot-on count of 18 so far this season, although there were some valiant efforts in this regard.  Mr O'Callaghan (11), Mr West (10) and Mr Crinnion (9) all managed 2 spot-ons, whilst Mr Luke and Mr Raistrick (both 6) notched up 1 apiece.  I was the only manager who submitted predictions to walk away empty handed on the spot-on front as I scored 4 points.  Mr McClay failed to submit predictions.

Any mistakes let me know - results from this weekend's games will follow tomorrow.

Take it easy,

Danny
