Leedscanary 336 Posted January 1, 2011 Unlucky Sid - 3/4 today, AFC Telford could only draw 0-0 with Stafford. Still onwards and upwards next week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 1, 2011 Like yours Banana? PICKING NORWICH RESULTS DOES NOT HELP THE PICKER NO ONE PICKS NORWICH IN THE FINAL 6I want to have a chance to pick next season, so of course i want to be high in the table, its quite clearly the reason anyone puts in a selection after the 6 have been picked. This is mean''t to be a friendly thread, so don''t bring your stupid comments into it please.Unlucky this week, probably not a good week to come in after a win. Have we ever done two on the trot?

Hissing Sid 154 Posted January 1, 2011 Gutted is the only word to describe how I feel at the moment. The first thing I did after leaving the Carra was check the scores. The only result I couldn''t find was Telford. I''ve just found it out. I have to be honest it has put a real downer on the day.Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, it has been a real pleasure to pick the big 6. I really wanted to bring the hat-trick home, but it wasn''t to be.On the bright side City are now 3rd and looking good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know how arsenal play and dont nap them!So by picking barca as you know how they play you support them more than norwich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted January 3, 2011 Unlucky Sid my friend. We were never going to win this week. For us to record a win most things have to go in our favour. This week there wasn''t enough in our favour as I''m sure the stats will prove. Thank you again for a tremendous effort and I look forward to you getting another turn next season. I''ll be back soon withe the stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted January 3, 2011 54 of us picked this weekend with 41 correct making a success rate of 76%. Between us we gave Sid 24 different selections with 16 winning making a success rate of 67%. So as I suspected the stats show that Sid did as well as we did as a group with his 4-6 which was also 67% Thanks again Sid I hope you enjoyed the week despite the disappointment in the end. Not enough went in our favour this weekend but we will all be back next week trying to Rays more funds for FONCY when our friend Obiwancanary will be in charge and making the final selections. Graham is back clear at the top of our league after Cherub and Cosmic slipped up. Purple enters having qualified through picking in 50% of the weeks available.
