Week 16: Unbeaten records broken - and so is Ciro's leg

Well, 2 shock results the last 2 unbeaten records are gone, so it's no surprise that this was a particularly low scoring week. For the record 5 of you had Reading to beat Liverpool, and only 4 had Boro to beat Arsenal. With only 15 players managing 100+, there isn't much change at the top, although Matt Phillips' score of 108 was good enough to move him into the top 10. The best score was 143 pts from Louis Goodey. £50 and Well done to you mate. And hard luck to Paul Savage who lost out by a single point.

Bonus Team: Bolton, 3 minutes v Wigan. This is the 2nd time in 3 weeks that Bolton have scored first. Last time no-one had them, this time 8 people got wise and scored 24 bonus pts each. It's also the 2nd week running that Wigan have conceded the fastest goal - could it be 3 times next week? Most popular choice? You've guessed it - Man Utd - 129 of you had them v Derby!

I've been Outdone: Well, I asked if any of you had pix you wanted to put up here and was inundated...with one. Player 48 (aka Crabbers - who every Sunderland fan will know from his legendary match commentaries for Metro FM) is pictured below with one of the greatest players of all time, taken at the Erectile Dsfunctional Conference 2006 in Gateshead (did you want that included Crabbers?)

Apparently Ciro broke his leg yesterday - but he still sent me the files on time. That's dedication! - David R
