Then again, you wouldn't put it past them. You have to feel sorry for Chris Hughton. I'd be very happy if my team had just come up, were in 11th place, had turned Andy Carroll into an England player and had been beaten our biggest rivals 5-1! He's also a nice guy..as is the person who has taken temporary charge - the second predictor to manage a Premiership team (Alan Curbishley played for about 2 weeks a few seasons back..and we also have a former chairman of Brentford FC!) Good luck on Saturday to you Sir!
You'd be mistaken for thinking that another ex pro had won this week's £50, but it's not the gap toothed scouser. Our own Ian Callaghan got 4 spot ons in an impressive score of 246. Up front, Stuart has cut Dec's lead to just 14 pts, whilst all of the chasing pack have also made some ground - game on! Atb, Ciro
THIS WEEK'S £50 WINNER. Well done to:
