Monkey Hanger and Nige B Profit As Prophets
Well, if you thought one side or the other would score a single goal yesterday, you got a single
point. Of the 17
people who thought we'd win, 12 thought we'd concede one, and just one that we'd win 1-0. And 2 of the 3 people who thought we'd lose, thought we'd score one in the process. So that's 15 of us with a point
. But if you thought both teams would score a single goal, you got five
points. That's a big difference, enough to extend Monkey Hanger's lead at the top to 4 points and lift Nige B from 4th to 2nd. The other maxi went to Football19, engaged at the other end of the table
, and doubtless welcoming the boost from 28th to 25th.
Three other drawmongers went for Desmonds, and picked up 3 points for their troubles, with AccyMad catching Revived Red in 6th, Kiwi John moving up from 11th to 9th, pushing Stanley Josh down and Stevie R out of the elite, and Accytom18 making 14th place his own, pulling away from Mab. The difference between one point and none had little effect elsewhere in the table.
So it's off to the seaside
for a Boxing Day derby against the easy peelers
, on the back of four games unbeaten. It would be nice to keep that little run going, don't we all think? The home game against them was the only one I've seen this season, and it wasn't particularly inspiring, I have to say
. Anything like either of our last two demolition jobs at the Crown should be good enough, with a little bit of luck
and a half-decent referee
.
On Stanley On!!
