Mister Chops 7 Posted November 16, 2008 Would it be bad manners to start napping whomever City are playing against, particularly if we''re away from home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 189 Posted November 16, 2008 Bad Luck, Evil Monkey.(And ''thanks'' Caernarfon Town ~ who also play in yellow and green and are nicknamed the Canaries. A quick look at their league position will show that might not be all there is in common!) [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,528 Posted November 17, 2008 In all 48 PUPs made selections this week (one less than last week) with 31 correct naps (seven less than last week). We didn''t do so well for Evil Monkey as we have been doing but still a good effort and it''s great to see so many of you coming back week in week out. We now have around 50 pickers helping the final selector each week. Great stuff [Y][Y]The naps were divided amongst just 20 different teams with 11 being correct making only 55% success rate this week which is down on the seasons average. League Two bombed for us again with 8 PUPs going down with the 2 failed selections. I don''t know what it is about League Two but it seems we have half the chance of being correct by picking in that league. Here''s the current table which shows where us PUP''s [&] have been getting most joy.LeagueWeekWeek %SeasonSeason %Overall11-2055217-36559Premiership2-210029-5157Championship3-56029-5553League One0-130-5654League Two0-215-4236Conference1-110016-2662Other Non Lge (Inc.

Buncey 1 Posted November 17, 2008 Hi Nutty I''m pretty sure you''ve missed the spurs game out of your numbers. I''ve got 1 more nap and 1 more different selection to you.And it''s been belated but hard luck Evil Monkey, this week seemed to turn out a bit dodgey. Roll on next week I say!
