@Smithj_43	3			@Footy_Maths	5			@AFLTheory	2

Progress to the Round of 16 for Tonii, FMI and Hardsy, while its an early exit for Smithy, Nick and 

the Theorist.

Over in League play, the weekends matches ended as below, which is good news for Home and Draw tipsters.

W	M	HOME		AWAY	H	A	RES
10	1	Sunderland	v	Newcastle	3	0	H
	2	Man Utd	v	Man City	0	0	D
	3	Liverpool	v	Southampton	1	1	D

	5	Lazio	v	Torino	3	0	H
	6	Atletico M	v	Valencia	2	1	H
	7	Columbus	v	DC United	5	0	H

This makes the head to head scores as

Stiff are Amul and Dem with a 5-all draw. High scoring but unlucky to have drawn each other this week.

Laurence the only player to get a single tip right all weekend, while AndyM passes his belt over to J_F.

Rudi with the weeks best score of 6, missing a perfect round with Man City failing him. Kosi keeps the belt, and Cody's loss affects his top of the table position.

Also this weekend sees the end of October football, so our Players of the Month are:

For Kosi and Luke, its again all eyes on the Manc derby and the Championship game. 

Considering to voting patterns below, it is interesting that it's the third most diversely selected round of the season.
