Scenes… I was absolutely disgusted when the Cherries went 1-0 up nine seconds in.  2-0, and the wife learned a few new words.

What a game! ️

 

 

A great comeback and a very good game to watch.

I watched the Leeds/Chelsea game, Leeds played well but couldn't score, the Newcastle game was pretty much the same. I thought Bournemouth were going to hold out, but with 6 minutes of injury time Arsenal scored in the 7th minute.

Arsenal showed they were genuine title contenders.

 

If the Bournemouth goalkeeper had wasted less time, 'injury time' might have only been 4 minutes.

If Bournemouth had beaten Arsenal they would be above Leeds now, so not all bad.

I found a link yesterday https://plusespntv.blogspot.com/2023/02/blog-post.html has anyone heard of it or even tried it, it shows many of the Premier League games and all for free, the definition was very good although I had to reload it a few times (15 seconds ish) it didn't spoil my viewing of the game.

Thanks ME, I will definitely check that out. The site I use is good, but every now and again, there’ll be a game unavailable in English.

A few pop ups to deal with but stable connections and good res once you’re in.

Great comeback by Leicester to beat Southampton ............ well, in my dreams 

[BigHewer]

 

Although one more fixture remains, for our purposes Week 26 is done and dusted, with all LPS picks having already played. With Arsenal beating Everton and Forest drawing the same opposition, @Marble-eye has now extended his lead at the top of the rankings and is looking unstoppable. Can he keep it going? @Slacker77 could also move into second spot with a correct pick this week. Four players remain in for Week 27, with fixtures below. I'll go for Spurs this week (though I'll be absolutely delighted if they lose, truth be told).

* With Brentford, Southampton, Brighton and Crystal Palace playing twice, please indicate which fixture you want if you select one of these teams.

Week 27 fixtures, kick off 1230 Sat 11th March, UK time.

Sat.
Bournemouth v Liverpool
Everton v Brentford*
Leeds v Brighton*
Leicester v Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest
Crystal Palace* v Manchester City

Sun.
Fulham v Arsenal
Manchester United v Southampton*
West Ham v Aston Villa

[BigHewer]

That throws up an interesting scenario @BigHewer

According to the XL sheet @spicy_girl only has 3 picks left, 2 of whom aren't playing, so her only selection, and fortunately a good choice IMO, is Arsenal.
What would happen though if, with only 2/3 picks left, non were playing that particular week.
Could you pick any as a bye and get 1 point?

I'm just excogitating how I may get 1 point to add to my record tally

@spicy_girl has two out of three teams playing, but I get your point. If you go back to page 1 of the thread:

"5. After a team is selected, you must select all of the other teams before selecting the same team again. If none of your available teams are playing in a given game week, you may select a team for a second time, and that team will then be unavailable in future weeks."

If SG didn't have any teams playing, she could pick any of her other teams a second time. That team would then be unavailable for selection thereafter.

[spicy_girl]

Arsenal team next please

[BigHewer]

Week 28 excel. Two LPS teams in action this weekend, with Aston Villa ( @BigHewer ) on Saturday and Arsenal ( @Slacker77 @spicy_girl )  on Sunday. Normally I would sign off by saying "Good luck to all players" but not this time. I hope Arsenal lose, of course 

LPS 22.23 Week 28.xls

Gl all 3

Yes good luck to all, and in no particular order, Spicey Girl, Slacker and last but least Big Hewer. OK I lied, in that order.

[BigHewer]

 

Week 28 done and dusted, and it's a case of "as you were" in LPS, with all three players going through to week 29, which has a mammoth 16 fixtures to pick from. I'll go for Leeds this time to knock off Forest in the mid-week game.

Calling on @spicy_girl and @Slacker77 to make selections. Who's going to blink first? Can anyone catch @Marble-eye?

Arsenal v Leeds*
Bournemouth* v Fulham
Brighton* v Brentford*
Crystal Palace v Leicester*
