[BigHewer]

Week 29 excel. The key LPS fixtures are Brighton v  Brentford on Saturday and Leeds v Nottm Forest on Tuesday evening, UK time. Will we see a last person standing this week? Good luck to @Slacker77 and @spicy_girl (though this week, I'm leaning towards SG )

Meanwhile, the rest of the players are rooting for Brentford and Nottingham Forrest to win.
That said, if the game continues for another week or two, I'll probably finish knitting a second jumper.

Hahaa understand that 

But I think it will take some weeks before you are in to play again.

Martin (me) please, don't stick out your neck like this 

[Slacker77]

So finally we're on matchday again,looking forward to watch some great footie again

Will be up in the mountain in Rayong with some friends and cooking and maybe some beers will be involved

Spicy Girl still has one more hurdle to get over...

[BigHewer]

Week 29 done and dusted and with Brighton's failure to beat Brentford and Leeds beating Forest, three have become two. So in week 30, it's a showdown between @BigHewer and @spicy_girl . I'll go for Rodger-less Leicester this time and with SG already indicating her one remaining pick Manchester City, the line-up for week 30 is already set.

Manchester United v Everton
Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest
Brentford v Newcastle United
Fulham v West Ham
Leicester v Bournemouth
Spurs v Brighton
Wolves v Chelsea
Southampton v Manchester City
Leeds vs Palace 
Liverpool v Arsenal

Both games will take place on Saturday afternoon UK time. Will we finally see a Last Person Standing this week? Good luck SG and go the Saints

No worries @Slacker77 but considering Leicester’s form, you might soon be right

And presumably, with @spicy_girl now having selected all 20 teams, she is free to choose Man City again.

Oh, lordy, lordy, what have I done for you to forsake me so!

 

I have 5 teams to choose from;
Bournemouth away to Spurs ........... unlikely!
Nottingham Forrest at home to Man Utd ................... doubtful!
Southampton at home to Crystal Palace ................ draw written all over that one!
West Ham at home to Arsenal .............. I don't see many bubbles being blown here!
Besides, I want to reserve these selections for better times.

That leaves me Fulham away to Everton and my pick to progress in the game.

Fulham for me please @BigHewer

[Slacker77]

@BigHewer

Man  U verse the forest please

Everton v Fulham 1-3, yes, get in there!  
Scratch 2 points up for me, please. At this rate I may achieve my goal of reaching 10 points, although the clock is ticking. First points since week 8.  

4 choices left;
Southampton away to Arsenal - nah!
Notts F away to Liverpool - unlikely!
Bournemouth at home to West Ham - Mmmm!

Decision, decisions, but I'll have to go for West Ham, based on their impressive comeback against Arsenal.

West Ham, please @BigHewer

What! 18 teams to choose from and you pick Crystallised Palace. 

Where's the loyalty, I expected you and @DwizzleyMatthews to go for Leeds. 
I'd have chosen Man Utd, but;
a) I've already picked them.
b) They don't have a game this week. 

The Leeds fans are awestruck by your choice.
Just listen to that Don Revie stand!  "Awwwwwwe"

Of all the teams to pick from, you’ve gone for the Eagles. I don’t know if Roy Hodgson follows the forum, but if he did, he’d be chuffed.  ️

Pick noted and entered.

[DwizzleyMatthews]

Liverpool for me please @BigHewer
