Once again, Man Utd proved to be the masters of the late winner, but this week Chelsea staked a claim for that honour..and the shoe was also on the other foot at Anfield for a change. An amazing week saw some amazing scores. The average pts scored this week was a whopping 110, and quite a few people scored 200+ and didn't even make the top 20! So it will come as no surprise that this week's winning score is the highest of the season so far (by miles) and one of the highest ever. A big well done to Nick Barber, whose score of 316 consisted of the full house: 10/10 correct scores and the bonus team too. All the usual stats below.
THE PES CUP 2009
The first round results (and 2nd round draw) are all in the link to the right. I'm afraid that some of you will have gone out despite posting an excellent score, whilst others will have gone through having not done so well. That's the name of the game I'm afraid, so hard luck. In the event of a tie, pls note that countback determines the winner, i.e., most spot on scores, most correct scores etc. If I have made a mistake anywhere, please let me know! Round 2 will take place in Week 24. Atb, Ciro
