WEEK 12 REVIEW

Quite a low scoring week, mainly due to little Harrogate Town refusing to lay down and have their tummy tickled by Deadpool and Yer Man from that show about an Irish pub in which all of us apart from @RefereeX had as a nailed-on away win (went for the draw). Talking of Exxy, he was the only person to get the four Argentinian QF winners right in the bonus game for the full 5 points, but everyone got at least one right. Performance of the week is @Gabriel who jumps to 6th, amazingly getting Mansfield's 4-0 win at Curzon spot on, and was one of the two people (alongside @Pwizardo - who stays top) to get that Beautiful Wimbledon would win 2-0 at the Plastic People. There was a 12-point scorer, with @one getting Brum's solitary goal win at Sutton nailed on.

Only spotted it this morning, but @OldNavyRef didn't assign any wagers. Hadn't made a rule for it, and was torn between doing a random roll, assigning them all as 3, or a flat zero across the board (lol) but in the end just plumped for a blind 1-2-3-4-5 before I went through his results. That's the rule now, just 1-2-3-4-5, unless anyone has another suggestion.

Pretty much as you were in the table, top 5 unchanged while Gabz scores high and jumps a couple of spots.

⚠️ AMENDMENT MADE. See Post #3

Personally think it should be a DNF from that round.
A public flogging and a working out of max points in a true game show style of "here's what you could have won"

Going by the old Watford Results Test™ (hugely reliable) it's not looking good for you James - any side that concedes 4 to Vakoun Bayo should be concerned 🫣
I was concerned before.

Although, if you look back at last season our thrashings were usually followed up by a significant uplift in form....

Are we this week's banker tanker™️? We shall find out.
