An 11 game week finally gave us the chance to get some decent points on the board, but despite there being seven home wins, a number of well supported teams failed to deliver, and getting 3 pointers still proved to be difficult. Those seven homes made it 44 (37.93%) for the season, as they continue heading towards a Happy League season norm average of 41.81%. The three draws today makes their season total 39 (33 62%), as they continue to head down to a season norm average of 25.43%. Finally the one away today made it 33 (28.45%) for the season, as they remain down on a season norm average of 32.76%. The three 1-0 home wins were good news for TheFatGooner, as he went 1-0 all games. In fact he was unlucky not to get five, as Crewe and Sunderland both got second goals in stoppage time. They still helped to give him four outcomes, and make him the weeks top scorer with a brilliant 13 points. Two members did well to have two 3 pointers, they were blueeagle, who had the Reading 1-1 and the Sunderland 2-0, with three outcomes to give him an excellent 9 points. And Pinault_Noir, who also got the Reading 1-1 to go with his good Fulham 4-1 pick, and two outcomes to give him a very decent 8 points. Best of those to get one 3 pointer was MrHappy2, who had the Stevenage 1-0 and an impressive 6 outcomes to give him an excellent 9 points.
Happy Midweek League Cup A final reminder to say the next round of games take place next Tuesday 23rd November with a 19.45 deadline.
Happy Cup The 2nd Round draw has now taken place, and along with the fixtures, they can all be seen on the separate Happy Cup thread.
Champions League It is now just 6 weeks and 44 games before we know who this seasons qualifiers are. With current holder concordman safely through, the battle for the other eleven places continues to be close. The member currently in that eleventh qualifying place is thrillseeker with 63 points. But there are four members within 2 points of that total.
In the Premier A very decent 8 points for RSCOSWORTH, that included having the Stevenage 1-0 spot-on, means he stays top for the 13th week in a row. The same spot-on and number of points also for mfb_cufc, and he moves back into second. Four outcomes for Daniel, and he drops to third. The top scoring performance from TheFatGooner moved him up three places into the final Super Cup spot. The battle for the relegation places continues to hot up, with only 2 points separating the bottom five places. After getting the Reading 1-1 spot-on, Blue4U2 finally got out of the bottom three for the first time this season. Four outcomes were not enough to stop concordman dropping into the relegation zone after six weeks away. Having the Huddersfield 1-0 spot-on got noah4x4 off the bottom, as he replaced by ghughes11, who despite an impressive six outcomes, finds himself there for the first time this season.
In Division One By getting the Bradford 1-1 spot-on, Lewis_1 maintained his 2 point lead, but is now to blueeagle, whose excellent week moved him up three places into the other automatic spot. But it is only on the most 3 pointer rule from Pinault_Noir, whose decent week moved him up to a season high third. A good five outcomes for wessex_exile, but he drops to fourth. The excellent week for MrHappy2 moves him up a couple of places, and back into a play-off spot, after four weeks away. The final play-off place is held by gerry_us, as he got back on track by getting the Sunderland 2-0 spot-on. A very unfortunate missed week for Tropical_Us, means he drops out of the play-off places for the first time since Week 4. The only other significant change in the rest of the league has BFG moving up a couple of places, thanks to having the Reading 1-1 spot-on.
