NoSix, you've captured the ecstasy and the agony that is EPLPL. BTW, I'm right with ya on that match...sounds like a bunch of us called it 3-nil. I guess about the only thing worse is losing a 7-pt result in extra time.

Tree, are you fixin' to snatch a cup win this week? Anyone else out there call the Chelsea "double"?

Sittin' on 17... ~OG3

I believe I am the only one who nabbed them both. I figured for sure they'd get one 4-0...they'd been playing crap for a month and had two matches against cream puffs...I imagined I'd get at least one of the two..not both :D

I know the feeling on the last second goal killing ya...There was one week where I think there were like 4 or 5 85th minute on later goals which cost me like 15 or so points...

as far as the cup goes...you'll see tomorrow ;)

NICE! Finally, some chatter about the matches and the EPLPL picks and points...

Sittin' on 17... ~OG3 I had the Watford seven-pointer, but not the Leicester one. I think I only got one for that. Anyhow, things are back on track and seeing yourself on both leaderboards when logging onto the site is brill!:)

EPLPL Riddle:
Q: So Treetaliano bellies up to a bar in Chelsea last week, what did he order?

~OG3

[own goal hat trick]

So now we've got two tables of standings, weekly Cup Wins, and each week's Top 10. In case that wasn't enough opportunities to hunt for glory, I humbly offer yet another table:

[cue the fanfare]

No. of Top 10 Finishes, Season Two
2 cj90red
2 imasyko
2 REDS
1 21 others

We'll see how long I'll want to keep maintaining this table. :confused: In the meantime, props to the three folks who have appeared both weeks.

BTW, props to sljohn for three straight Top 10s at one point in Season One. Has anyone else accomplished that feat? Four?

Must have been Chelsea's week. Congratulations, Tree - is 24 pts from 15 matches some kind of record? Picking Chelsea to win by 4 on the road, and Tranmere over Bolton on the road - you're either crazy or damn good!

Not by a long shot.

Check out Kenya's picks from Week 13. 26 points from TEN matches, including 6 out of 10 perfect scores and occrectly calling also 2 draws and 3 road victories.

Big difference between what I did and what Kenya did. I just luckily nabbed two 7 point games...the rest of my picks were pretty normal...now...what Kenya managed to pull off...

oght did a summary of that a few pages back...

Nice try -- it works, but think whiskey ...

How about a 7 and 7?

I haven't had one in a while, but made with authentic Seagrams 7 and 7-Up they are quite good.

But, if my destiny is to be the tortoise, not the hare, then such is life.

Yes! A 7 AND 7!

BTW, hope folks didn't pick too many 4-nil or 5-1 results so far this week. No lopsided results -- not even a 5-pter -- among the nine results so far.

sljohn, I see you just one point off page one of the S2 table. If you get that psychic mojo you had last month or whenever, then we're all in trouble ...

There are about 30 people who havent made picks in over a month...If you are one of them you need to make some picks within the next two weeks or your user name will be deleted. I will be cleaning up the database after the end of the 22nd week.

I decided to give this ONE more week. Doing a quick check, there are a LOT of people who have pretty much dropped out...nearly a HALF of all registered people...so on Saturday I will delete all those people...

Tree,

While I was making my picks, there were some teams (non-EPL clubs) on the website that weren't shown on the schedule. These teams are shown in bold:

FA Cup - Saturday January 24, 2004
Portsmouth v Scunthorpe
Scarborough v Chelsea
Birmingham v Wimbledon

Just to let you know.

Ummm... that's because they are playing EPL teams... one of the great things about EPLPL is that it covers all EPL teams in any competition.

I think you read it wrong, as did I the first time. I THINK he meant, that I forgot to add a few matches to the EPLPL.

He's right in a away...

I just forgot to upload the correct logos for the new teams. I have now done so. So now you'll see all the matches and the correct logos as well, the matches themselves were added, but when you saw the picks you probably just saw an "X" image before...
