WEEK 28 - STEVIE G, EASY AS 123


I've never been a big fanof Stevie G, especially after he stole the 2006 Cup Final from the Hammers single-handedly, but I don't begrudge his return to form.   From what I understand, he has endured the sort of year I wouldn't wish on anyone.  One day. I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash.   Meanwhile the title race takes another twist and those pundits who thought Utd's experience would eventually tell are getting ready to crow, but I think City could have a joker (literally) up their sleeve in the form of Carlos Tevez.  If he's fit, he surely has a big point to prove to his suitors..and to Fergie

Swansea's impressive 1-0 home win was one of five by that scoreline in Week 28 (and one of 9 home wins), so it was the perfect time to go for a 1-0 across the board strategy. Some of you have tried and failed, but Ian Adotey got his timing spot on and easily won this week with a score of 247 using that tactic (or was it just laziness?!).   Up front, Chris' lead continues to be eroded , with high scoring Kevin Ellis now his nearest challenger, whilst Jon Cuff is the latest player to gatecrash the top 10. Atb, Ciro

MINILEAGUE CHALLENGE: I'm sure you've all checked out how your minileague is doing against the others.   As I mentioned before, at the end of the season the top 10 players (only) in the best performing minileague will all win £20, so it's worth putting in scores to help your minimates.  Currently Smiths and Seymour are leading from Soccer 6 and the improving HMV.

THIS WEEK’S £50 WINNER:  Well done to: 
 
IAN ADOTEY
