Week 17: Grand Slam Thank You Mam

Well, I said it would be a tough week and to prove the point I went and got all 10 results wrong! But I wasn't the only one and the dubious honour of this week's lowest score went jointly to Simon Rogers, Amit Chakraborti and Nick Yeung, who all scored minus 69. But before you guys call an emergency board meeting, bear in mind that Peter Beardsley and Mark Lawrenson also had hefty minus weeks! As expected, there has been some movement towards the top of the table. Ian Evans, Matthew Jenns, Mick Delaney and Paul Barnard all move within striking distance, though our leader Nick Scraggs stubbornly refuses to yield that top spot - and has now been there longer than anyone else this season. Well done to Yau Yung, who wins this week's £50 thanks to an excellent score of 193.

Bonus Team: Birmingham, 4 minutes v Reading. 36 extra points to 22 players -A good choice there. Aston Villa were actually the most popular choice with 66

The Predictions Cup: It's back! The first round of the Cup will take place after the Xmas games. The draw will take place LIVE from my living room in January. The postman and the Philipino cleaner from next door will do the honours - Will they draw you a plum tie? At this stage, all I can tell you is that the bottom 8 players in the table (see below) will not be included in the first round draw - so if you're down there (or in the group just above), make sure you get all the Xmas fixtures back to me!
