15. MORE GAMES, LESS CONTENT

8 Dec:

Before ripping into this weeks results, I have prepared the tips for all our Match Weeks from 16 to 20 (weekend of 12 Dec to 31 Dec). These will be up on the blog in the coming days, with the tip entry forms also coming on line too.

This is to allow you to enter your tips early in case you are busy/away over Christmas and New Year.

Remember. you can enter tips very early, and later re-enter f you change your mind. The system records your entry time/date and I will use the latest entry date as your 'official' tips.

Further, I will be releasing the Match Week 21 tips (weekend of 6 Jan) after the 17 Dec. 

 - - - - Why...? 

Well the games we are to tip from in Match Week 21 are FA Cup ties, and there are a few Cup tie replays to be concluded.

FINALLY... I may postpone the FMICL Cup game scheduled for Match Weeks 20 and 21 given that there are not many games being played in Europe, so it is tough to draw another 10 games to fill requirements.

OK... to the results:

First the League games completed this weekend.

R	M	HOME		AWAY	H	A	RES
15	1	Hull City	v	W B A	0	0	D
	2	Liverpool	v	Sunderland	0	0	D
	3	Q P R	v	Burnley	2	0	H
	4	West Ham	v	Swansea	3	1	H
	5	Aston Villa	v	Leicester	2	1	H
	6	Genoa	v	AC Milan	1	0	H
	7	LA Galaxy	v	New England	1	1	D

Which makes the results of head to heads as here...

@MattGoss_	2	-	3	@BrotherAmos
@Wal13Freo	4	-	3	@Footy_Maths
@Amul82	2	-	3	@ASpeedingCar
@Hardsy05	2	-	1	@DemP_9
@LaurenceRosen	3	-	1	@TheMattBungard
@J_Foreigner	4	-	4	@BenCuzzupe
@Harri_Chas_17	3	-	3	@Hcdc93
@Ethan_Meldrum	2	-	3	@SgtButane
@TheTipsGuru	1	-	4	@Andrewm_81
@NaylorMichael	3	-	4	@Sjhross

Five wins in a row for BrotherAmos (making a serious tilt at an unprecedented back-to-back player of the month awards).
Three losses in a row to MichaelN sees him tumble down the table.

In the Belt Game, it was a 4 all draw as both players picked the same 7 outcomes.

In the FMICL Cup... as predicted the 'regulation time' tips did the job.

6 Dec:

OK... everyone has been very helpful again in lodging on time and with (reasonably) short notice, and also in being patient for the match-ups to be listed. Thank you all.

So here they are... and as always check to see if this is what you wanted.

And that's 3 weeks in a row for players to pick the same.

Wisdom of the crowd...

Liverpo	Sunderl		19	1	0

Looking at Cup players, we have

	E	Inter Milan	v	Udinese	H	H

Looks likely to be decided in regular time (picks 1-5) for mine.

3 Dec:

As mentioned in a tweet yesterday, with games mid-week comes the need to get tips in early and also have the details prepared in advance.

So with Match Week 14 still in play, please focus also on Match Week 15.

The games to tip from.

R	M	HOME		AWAY
15	1	Hull City	v	W B A
	2	Liverpool	v	Sunderland
	3	Q P R	v	Burnley
	4	West Ham	v	Swansea
	5	Aston Villa	v	Leicester
	6	Genoa	v	AC Milan
	7	LA Galaxy	v	New England

Yep... taking the last game of the MLS season - LA vs New England in their Championship Final.
Being that it is a Cup Final, I will use the end of 90min (normal) time score as the result - not extra time or pens.

Head to head we go like this...

@MattGoss_		-		@BrotherAmos
@Wal13Freo		-		@Footy_Maths
@Amul82		-		@ASpeedingCar
@Hardsy05		-		@DemP_9

Over in the Cup, its the beginning of the Round of 16 games...

First drawn out are:

WK 15	@Andrewm_81
	@NaylorMichael

And you are to tip a broad collection of games as per here.

R	M	HOME		AWAY
15	1	Tottenham	v	C Palace
	2	Huddersfeild	v	Brentford
	3	Forest	v	Charlton
	4	Rennes	v	Montpellier
	5	Omiya Ardija	v	Cerezo Osaka
	A	Hannover 96	v	Wolfsburg
	B	Bayern Munich	v	B Leverkusen
	C	Torino	v	Palermo
	D	Lens	v	Lille
	E	Inter Milan	v	Udinese

For those interested:
Omiya Ardija  vs Cerezo Osaka is an important J-League game. The J-League is into their last match-week of the season and Omiya needs to win to avoid relegation.

Tip away

Deadline is FRIDAY NIGHT at midnight.

Good luck.
