Pumpkin Football

I hate puns so will resist saying that Ashley's form so far this season has been spookily good (oops).

A bit late with the table update this week but will get the Week 12 tips sorted and in the sheet tomorrow morning so that you all know what to cheer against while watching Sky Sports News.

EDIT: It turns out there are a couple of "recommended" selections having been picked by 2 or more people in the group, so seeing as this little test is still running profitably here they are if you fancy a real wager:

Chelsea v Arsenal (Away Win @ 5/1)
West Brom v Liverpool (Home Win @ 16/5)

Have a brooming good weekend witchever activity your choose to partake in, and keep your fingers crossed to ghost past a few people in the table come Monday.

Footy Naps Selection Form - Week 12

Unlucky Wales

Shame for Wales this morning who played bloody well in defeat.  Looks like the final effectively takes place tomorrow then, with a bunch of useless froggies ready to turn up for their undeserved runners up medals next week.

Back to the football then, and last week was a bumper one as a group with a bunch of people picking up some tasty priced wins.  Ashley is still up top but there has been some switching around below him to keep things interesting.  Here's the latest table:

Name	Total
Ashley Foulkes	£5.83
Ben Brookes	£4.16
Simon Woolf	£3.11
Mike Butlin	£1.99
Chris Walker	£1.93
Terry Reeve	£0.95
Dan Grant	-£1.23
Jon Raab	-£1.31
Will Brookes	-£2.47
Phil Hamilton	-£2.60
Dave Orrock	-£3.20
David Evans	-£3.33
Jamie Reeve	-£3.40
Pete Stagles	-£3.67
Ian Dell	-£3.70
Nigel Grant	-£5.76
Ryan Blackwell	-£7.78

We also have another recommended selection this week with no fewer than three people picking Liverpool to beat Man Utd at Anfield today:

Liverpool v Man Utd (Home Win @ 2/1)


And below is the form for Week 11:

Footy Naps Selection Form - Week 11

Seeing Red

Nice one Rooney, good luck with your ambition of being captain of club & country.

Odd week this time around with most of the matches already being played last night - and some successful picks so far in those international games, including both Ashley and Chris/Jo picking the Wales win.

Below is the league table before last night, although you will find a sneak preview of the new version in the sheet on the left as it is already updated with Friday results.

Name	Total
Ben Brookes	£2.82
Simon Woolf	£2.27
Ashley Foulkes	£2.08
Terry Reeve	£1.95
Dan Grant	-£0.23
Jon Raab	-£0.31
Mike Butlin	-£0.76
Chris Walker	-£1.40
Phil Hamilton	-£1.60
Dave Orrock	-£2.20
David Evans	-£2.33
Pete Stagles	-£2.67
Will Brookes	-£3.80
Ian Dell	-£4.40
Nigel Grant	-£4.76
Jamie Reeve	-£6.15
Ryan Blackwell	-£6.78

Oh and a couple of double picks again this week so two more for the "recommended tips" list, although unfortunately no time to actually back them as they have both won already!  It puts this little challenge over £5 up to level stakes though, so maybe we do know what we're doing?

Turkey v Germany (Away Win @ 4/3)
Wales v Switzerland (Home Win @ 10/3)


Footy Naps Selection Form - Week 10

Rugby Naps

You could be forgiven for forgetting that football was even on this weekend with all the rugby action taking place.  However a full fixture list is on again so we're back with another round of Footy Naps.

Ashley continues to lead comfortably at the top with no one looking likely to compete as yet.  Early days still but how long do we wait before starting to back Norwich?!

One double selection this week means another recommended tip - although this exercise hasn't been too successful so far!

Wolves v Newcastle (Away Win @ 2/1)

Name	Total
Ashley Foulkes	£6.38
Ben Brookes	£0.82
