A double whammy for Matt Foote this week. Not only does he wins the £50 with a great score of 260 (he got 3 spot on away wins @ 50pts each) but he moves from 15th to the top of the league in the process - good work mate! Tho other good moves see Bobby Reeve, Philip Ashman and Andrew Savage move into 10th, 11th and 12th respectively after posting excellent scores, whilst Richie Cullinan's 244 puts him right into contention too. An interesting week for me. I met Russian cosmonaut Yuri Plasticpitchski yesterday who had just touched down after orbiting the world for 2 years. I asked him if it was true that you could see the Great Wall of China from space and he said that was actually a myth. The only thing he claims to have seen in that time was Jamie Carragher's fall and submission on Joleon Lescott on Saturday. 249 of us had a draw for the Merseyside derby - thankyou Mr Clattenberg!
Bonus Team: Chelsea, 8 mins v Middlesbrough. This is the first time in yonks that Chelsea have scored first and that is reflected in the fact that only 8 players took advantage of the 28 pts available. Arsenal were the most popular choice with 77 players going for them
