Read All About It Even if you don't read the papers the games still get played; with the usual parade of winners and losers. League Table http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek14.htm All Rocks Super Cup http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/super_cup.htm Previous Gameweeks..... >> Gameweek 12. >> Gameweek 13. Indeed, the papers make miserable reading for the managers and fans of Aviators, Yellowcake Phantoms and Pork Soda. Even a name change can't hide the fact that AC TIG is not much better than Surreywood Rangers. Thankfully there's some Christmas cheer just around the corner and a New Year to look forward to.
Getting Ready For The Christmas Rush We wish you a Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year. Everything has been updated ahead of tonight's Gameweek 17 matches. League Table http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek16.htm All Rocks Super Cup http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/super_cup.htm Previous Gameweeks..... >> Gameweek 14. >> Gameweek 15. We were in France last weekend and I'll be off to the Czech Republic for Christmas; moving through Slovakia and Hungary, then possibly on to Slovenia or Croatia as we see in the new year. Gameweeks 17, 18, 19 and 20 might not get put online until we get back. For Gameweek 20 we'll be down to 31 teams as the team at the bottom of the league after the Gameweek 19 score update drops out. Hopefully I can manage to grab the end of Gameweek scores while we're on the road. We then move onto a new scoring system..... The top five highest scores each week are awarded the following points: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. If there's a tie on weekly score, the team higher in the league on Gameweek 19 gets the advantage. After each week's update, the league's bottom team drops out.
Re: Getting Ready For The Christmas Rush Uh-oh, the Padawans are in trouble now. Much to learn, they have. Still in this competition, I am surprised to be.
Gameweek 17 - Scores Updated Let's keep it short and sweet. I know you've all got presents to wrap and then presents to unwrap; food and drink to buy, then food and drink to get down your throat. Happy Holidays..... http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek17.htm

League Table http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek18.htm All Rocks Super Cup http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/super_cup.htm VegasVirgins and London St. Germain become the first two teams to drop out of the All Rocks Super Cup. Looking forward to Gameweek 19, AC TIG is guaranteed the first elimination spot from our All Rocks Super League; once scores are in. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Be Careful What You Wish For Earlier in the the season, when In off the post were runaway leaders of the All Rocks League, I made a wish to the tooth fairy. My confidential request was to be challenging In off the post by the New Year. Well, I am..... but In off the post have fallen from top of the perch so drastically that we're almost both competing with Hal for a relegation spot out of Very Small Rocks. League Table http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek19.htm Let the All Rocks League eliminations begin. Farewell, AC TIG; although there's still some chance for a little consolation in the All Rocks Super Cup, when they meet Denocmuppet in Gameweek 24. All Rocks Super Cup http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/super_cup.htm Match 21 - Winner GW5 vs Winner GW6 Park Lane vs ThiKu Mariners FC (48:37) Match 22 - Winner GW7 vs Winner GW8 FC Touchline Ban vs Aviators (23:48) This sets up the juicy Park Lane vs Aviators pairing in Gameweek 25; alongside blechs_dawgs vs ColdDogSoup FC. ThiKu Mariners FC and FC Touchline Ban will therefore be playing a knockout match on Gameweek 26; alongside FC Springfield and Sasha Juniors. It's time to watch the fireworks all over again.
The All Rocks Super League Can Be Oh So Cruel Gameweek 20: Although we're still waiting for the Tottenham vs Everton double gameweek match to play out on January 11th, I thought we'd take a quick look at how things might unfold. New Scoring The top five highest scores each week are now awarded the following points: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. If there's a tie on weekly score, the team higher in the league on Gameweek 19 gets the advantage. After each week's update, the league's bottom team drops out. AC TIG were the first team to drop out last week, and with 51 points they're currently among this week's leading scorers. To avoid elimination this week, Yellowcake Phantoms need to finish in the top three and hope Lees Summit Rangers don't make the top five (that part looks locked in - which means even 2 points for fourth would save Jay's team from the drop). Other teams in the low pressure zone that could join AC TIG over the coming weeks (if they don't make top five appearances) include - in danger zone order - Pork Soda, KeyserSoze Wanderers, Ram It In There!, Jedi Padawans FC, FC Weymouth and Aviators.

Re: Provisional Gameweek 20 Scores Update It's interesting the official site got the bonus points updated for the matches played so far. This season they have been waiting until the last game has been played before updating. With such a long gap before the final match next week they got it updated -- I like.
The Transfer Window January transfer window: Which manager are you most like? http://www.itv.com/sport/football/news/quiz-which-transfer-window-manager-are-you-most-like-28345/ Quiz Results You're Harry Redknapp! Don't say the word "wheeler-dealer"...
Re: The Transfer Window Ha - I got Neil Warnock, seeing as he just got fired I am a little rueful over that one!
David Moyes "You'll never get an easy game against Everton," said Harry. "David Moyes does a great job there year in, year out."

Updates Coming This gamewek has dragged on so long it almost ran into the next one..... scores coming.
Gameweek 20 - It's Official Gameweek 20: The second team to drop out of the All Rocks Super League is...... Yellowcake Phantoms. Jay must be looking at last-gasp turnarounds from Rockville Gunners and Jedi Padawans FC and wondering why the Phantoms failed to turn up. 5pts - Rockville Gunners 87 Massive leap from nowhere, thanks to a 48 score from captain Assou-Ekotto. 4pts - ChrisSuttonsSlippers 77 3pts - London St. Germain 74 2pts - Jedi Padawans FC 71 - Double whammy mega leap 1pt - Ram It In There! 66 -------------------------- Top Shelf 64 Glorydaze fC 63 Aviators 58 Pork Soda 58 Park Lane 57 Cassville United 56 Pittsadelphia FC 55 Denocmuppet 55 352 Sizzle 54 ThiKu Mariners FC 52 FC Touchline Ban 52 VegasVirgins 50 FC Springfield 48 FC St. Pauli 47 Kopite Juniors 47 In off the post 44 blechs_dawgs 44 Yellowcake Phantoms 44 Dynamo Teso 43 wewunwunce 43 ColdDogSoup FC 42 Sasha Juniors 39 FC Weymouth 32 KeyserSoze Wanderers 32 Lees Summit Rangers 31 BiggerBoat 25 All Rocks Super Cup Just to rub it in, FC St. Pauli and Pork Soda turned their matches around in the All Rocks Super Cup to prove that it's a game of two halves. Match 23 - Loser GW5 vs Loser GW6 FC St. Pauli vs In off the post (47:44) - Match 24 - Loser GW7 vs Loser GW8 Pittsadelphia FC vs Pork Soda (55:58) And as a footnote, last week's loser - AC TIG - scored a very respectible 60.
Who's Next For The Chop KeyserSoze Wanderers, Pork Soda and Lees Summit Rangers are in the danger zone; although in all probabilty it's drop time for Lees Summit Rangers, unless they get the highest score of the week and Pork Soda fail to make the top four. Even second would do for Rangers, if Pork Soda don't make the top five. If the bottom two both turn it around, then KeyserSoze Wanderers could be in deep trouble. Jedi Padawans FC (Dust) 40 Aviators (VSR) 40 FC Weymouth (Sand) 40 Ram It In There! (Sand) 39 ------------------ KeyserSoze Wanderers (Dust) 37 Pork Soda (VSR) 36 Lees Summit Rangers (Sand) 32
The Great Escape Begins No surprises this week, except to say that Yellowcake Phantoms posted the highest score; a week too late. Odds of Lees Summit Rangers doing similar next week have now been reduced, by all online bookmakers. Alas, it's all chest strutting bravado. On a more positive note, Hal's Aviators are trying to get back on the knockout-qualifying trail with a handsome three points scored. KeyserSoze Wanderers spoiled the party somewhat, by following them into the escape tunnel with 5 pts. Gameweek 21 Scores 5pts - KeyserSoze Wanderers 60 4pts - Rockville Gunners 59 3pts - Aviators 59 2pts - FC St. Pauli 57 1pt - Glorydaze fC 57 ----------------------------------- Sasha Juniors 57 VegasVirgins 55 wewunwunce 55 352 Sizzle 55 Denocmuppet 51 ThiKu Mariners FC 50 Cassville United 50 Top Shelf 49 blechs_dawgs 45 Ram It In There! 45 ColdDogSoup FC 44 London St. Germain 43 FC Weymouth 43 In off the post 42 FC Springfield 42 BiggerBoat 41 Kopite Juniors 41 Pork Soda 41 Lees Summit Rangers 39 Dynamo Teso 37 ChrisSuttonsSlippers 35 FC Touchline Ban 35 Pittsadelphia FC 35 Park Lane 35 Jedi Padawans FC 30 Tiebreaker: Team higher in the league on Gameweek 19 gets the advantage. League Table http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek21.htm Looking ahead With Lees Summit Rangers bowing out, the spotlight is now cast on Jedi Padawans FC (40); FC Weymouth (40); Ram It In There! (39); and Pork Soda (36). Nothing more than a Gameweek top two score will do for Pork Soda. Even that may not be enough if the other three teams are also in the top five. Word is out that Pork Soda could be looking for a new manager next season. All Rocks Super Cup http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/super_cup.htm Match 25 - Winner GW9 vs Winner GW10 ChrisSuttonsSlippers vs Dynamo Teso (35:37) Match 26 - Winner GW11 vs Winner GW12 Yellowcake Phantoms vs Kopite Juniors (61:41) Losers are still in the cup.
Re: The Great Escape Begins Would just like to apologize to all involved for not being more active this season. I had some family complications and a relocation as well. I may be getting back into things for the run in, but it was poor form from me to abandon ship as I did without letting anyone know. Sorry.
Re: The Great Escape Begins No dramas... welcome back. You are only 77 pts off a promotion spot in Dust League so all is not lost. And Jordan, who is in 2nd currently, seems to have abandoned ship.
Re: The Great Escape Begins None of the lower half managers made it into the points this week, so to get over the Top 16 chalk line their teams still need to get past In off the post or VegasVirgins; both on 50 points. League Table http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/gameweek22.htm Gameweek 22 Scores 5pts - Glorydaze fC 64 4pts - FC Touchline Ban 62 3pts - Rockville Gunners 55 2pts - FC St. Pauli 50 1pt - ThiKu Mariners FC 49 ----------------------------------- 352 Sizzle 47 Kopite Juniors 45 Cassville United 44 Top Shelf 43 wewunwunce 42 London St. Germain 42 BiggerBoat 41 Denocmuppet 41 Pork Soda 40 In off the post 38 Dynamo Teso 36 Sasha Juniors 36 ChrisSuttonsSlippers 34 Aviators 33 VegasVirgins 31 ColdDogSoup FC 29 FC Springfield 29 Jedi Padawans FC 26 Pittsadelphia FC 28 blechs_dawgs 23 FC Weymouth 23 Ram It In There! 23 Park Lane 19 KeyserSoze Wanderers 18 Tiebreaker: Team higher in the league on Gameweek 19 gets the advantage. Looking ahead As Pork Soda drops out of the competition, six teams will be looking closely at one another. 352 Sizzle (43pts), Aviators (43pts), KeyserSoze Wanderers (42pts), Jedi Padawans FC (40pts), FC Weymouth (40pts), and Ram It In There! (39pts) are all effectively in troubled waters. 352 Sizzle, with the 6th best score this gameweek, is only in danger of going under if the other teams all finish in the top five - in reverse order. Now if that were to happen, it would be the badest mother of all bad mother gameweeks in the history of All Rocks competitions. All Rocks Super Cup http://1800-worldcup.com/fantasy/2012/super_cup.htm Match 27 - Loser GW9 vs Loser GW10 Ram It In There! vs Top Shelf (23:43) Match 28 - Loser GW11 vs Loser GW12 FC Weymouth vs Lees Summit Rangers (23:31) Losers (Ram It In There! and FC Weymouth) are out.
