40. FINALS WEEK TWO

May 11:

With everyone tipping Genoa - Torino the same, we dont really need to wait for that game to play out before announcing our Semi-Final winners.
The matches played were:

R	M	HOME		AWAY	H	A	RES
40	1	Newcastle	v	W B A	1	1	D
	2	Chelsea	v	Liverpool	1	1	D

An end-of-season draw-fest.

@Ethan_Meldrum

Ethan gets the solitary winner with Monchengladback drawing with Leverkusen

So we farewell Henry and Hardsy, both players who have figured prominently in top 8 most of the season. Hardsy a former table leader, and Henry having sat outside the 8 only for 1 week (at tenth).

Well played and commiserations to both.

Onto the Prelims...

The next week will be:

About time I updated all your tips from yesterday!

Difference Indicator		BYE		2		1

Hardsy and Ben could be decided in first four if needed, then in last three as well.

Henry and Ethan will need to focus on how well Leverkusen goes away from home.

May 8:

Confirmed Ben as winner of tie-breaker over Dem, therefore Week 40 games are confirmed as:

@Hardsy05		-		@BenCuzzupe
@Hcdc93		-		@Ethan_Meldrum

May 5:

OK... while we play a mid-week replay to determine the outcome of Ben vs Dem, the rest of you finalists need to get on with thinking about the next weekend.

So we look forward to Match Week 40 and these games to tip from.

R	M	HOME		AWAY
40	1	Newcastle	v	W B A
	2	Chelsea	v	Liverpool
	3	O Marseille	v	Monaco
	4	Hamburger SV	v	Freiburg
	A	B M'gladbach	v	B Leverkusen
	B	Celta Vigo	v	Sevilla
	C	Genoa	v	Torino

As before, winner will be the higher total aggregate score over the seven games, but in the event of a tie, then its the higher score from games 1 to 4. If tied in those four, then its first to score in the games A to C.

Sitting out this week and waiting for Match Week 41 are
