NOT. A. SINGLE. WORD. THANK-YOU
We had a poor turn-out last time out but it was a cheap day for me again as no one predicted either the correct score or first goalscorer. It took a goal in the 90th minute followed by an own goal in the 96th minute before extra time and penalties decided the game.
I feel sorry for Newport, what a way to go out but my only consolation after THE disgraceful game yesterday was that I predicted the draw and that it would take penalties to decide.

So onto today and it's the last game of the round tonight as non-league Stockport take entertain Premier League West Ham....
@nathen007's Prediction
Another David v Goliath affair but let's be honest, it's not going to be an upset despite the Hammered having just sold Robert Snodgrass and Sebastien Haller. One upset this weekend was enough....
(PAUSE POST WHILST I BURST INTO TEARS AGAIN)
Ok, I need to get this over with quickly today and get back to hiding under my duvet in shame and sadness so I'm going 0-3 to West Ham, the first goal to be scored by Soucek.
Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. Competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 20.00 GMT.
The Small Print
In the first goalscorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition will roll-over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goalscorer or correct score, the prize is shared and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 45 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all payouts will never exceed 50% of post payout. Other bonuses paid out at my discretion.
And the winners were.....
Another day of no jackpot winners but no worries, everyone gets their appearance fee and the pots are building nicely with 13500 in total up for grabs! @marvinix, @anderssinho, @hykss.sports, @hirohurl, @lebey1, @jfang003, @corporateay, @bitandi were in the game yesterday and note to @amr008 ...ENTER NOW!!
That's it for today. I don't have much to say as I am still in shock after the game yesterday. I need to watch it but that sort of result simply shouldn't happen.
Stay safe and sane everyone and best wishes with today's predictions. As usual, any mistakes I might have made, let me know and I'll make them good!
