Darren keeps his nose in front by bagging an impressive 8 points which included a three pointer in the Darlington-Newport County tie. Darren was wise in reckoning Newport would struggle to score away from home. Good call Darren.
Meanwhile, Penny notched 8 points also to stay a mere 2 points behind in second place. While Darren and Ronan both foresaw a comfortable home win for Lossiemouth, Penny was canny in predicting that the Clachs impressive away form might see them edge this one. And she was right, by Jove!
Apart from predicting the margin with which A!F!C! would beat Gillingham (while Darren and Penny showed an alarming lack of faith in the mighty Wimbledon, predicting a loss and a draw respectively....shame on you guys), little else went right for Ronan, who stuttered to a 4 point total to now sit in third place on the table.
It's still early doors yet of course.

P.S. Apologies for the wonky table above. We're still figuring out how to jazz up the blog with fancy graphics and suchlike.
Good to see Darren's form hasn't started to slide as yet; let's see what happens during those cold and rainy winter ties in Bradford or Hull though. Plank of the week: no competition really.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the weekend's internationals throwing up some good candidates for next week though. Robbie to miss a sitter, anyone?
The odds on Robbie 'missing a sitter' are WAY too short.
ReplyDeleteI'd put a fiver on Bendtner managing to bizarrely score an own goal during a Denmark attack by somehow contriving to backheel it past his own keeper from 80 yards whilst simultaneously attempting to execute a double somersault headed knock down to strike partner Rommedahl.
