The results went up in the opening post on Sunday night, and the table was worked out straight after that. It didn't take long since it was a fairly low-scoring round, with Tilde slipping a place the only movement. At the top, ultimo moves a point further clear of Stinky whilst Pete* takes advantage of seph's wrong D2D bet to widen the gap to last place to a whopping 19 points. The latter basically had to gamble on an unlikely draw, but ultimately it ended up even more one-sided than anybody thought – though kudos to the duo who knew Dortmund would bag four goals on the day.

Everyone else got two bonus points each then, but there were no other bonuses since the randomly selected 'wildcard' fixture turned out to be #10, the French Cup tie in Sochaux. A few people plumped for a draw in Bordeaux but it was in fact the remaining two matches which went to penalties so were duds and yielded no ordinary points, let alone bonuses. And all three were unlikely home wins to boot – vive la Coupe !

No such problems in Scotland, where all the ties were decided in normal time. Expected progress for Hibs and Sevco were generally good for one-pointers, but the mild upsets at Airdrie and Bonnyrigg (largely ignored by Sportscene which I was only watching after Match of the Day ended early due to the winter break bollocks) caught almost everyone out. Credit to Rory for at least foreseeing the former shock. The other one is also only a one-division gap nowadays, but it's a team who'd spent most of their history at least three tiers below their opponents, beating the only unbeaten side in the league in the whole UK to get through to the last 16 for the first time ever, and as such deserved more media attention. 

Last but not least, there were two domestic league games heading up the card as well. The West Midlands clubs tore up the form book as the Baggies suffered a rare defeat at Carrow Road (sorry Ralphy) and Brum managed a win at Stoke under a proper gaffer having offloaded a potato in the sack race a few weeks ago. Sadly neither of those outcomes was much good for most of us. 

A new set of 10, including yet another D2D, should appear in the first post very soon. It'll again be half filled with Cup ties, but at least eight EPL teams will actually feature this time.

On 1/26/2024 at 10:11 AM, I Bent My Wookie said:

Shy Dad - sorry @Fog Dude!

Not to worry, I'm rubbish at coming up with pub quiz team names too – which is why I write the questions these days. After Pete made his first name change, someone suggested to add previous names to profiles so I can actually see your former moniker to the left of your posts on desktop now. And yeah, it's a bit of a pain that this happened mid-season but unless there's something in the paido board I'm not aware of though, then it seems optimistic for Frankie to think Moo might stick around for a few weeks so I understand why people had to strike while the iron's hot. 

Anyway, the results were at the top of the thread on Sunday night as usual, and the table (including new names) was updated soon after that. I've included the FPL Cup standings as well since there's a bit more room and also because the group stage will come to an end with the next matchday. In a high-scoring round, a quarter in the middle all move up a place, Pete Chutney Spoon goes two points further clear of seph while ultimo extends his lead over Stinky (still a Dad!) to eight points. 

Tilde got his bet wrong but at least it's out of the way given what the weather's been like lately. Strangely, everyone except the current leader rightly disagreed with him to claim their bonuses, although even a couple of those incorrectly opted for a draw. Brighton's win at Bramall Lane was the 'wildcard' fixture and while nobody foresaw it finishing 2-5, it still yielded a point each for most – my tactic of plumping for draws backfired, and Rory also went for one there to miss out on an extra bonus. A lot of ties did go to a replay of course, and there was another near miss on Friday night... but all of those were not on our card.

Elsewhere, progress for Newcastle, Wolves and Man Utd all proved fruitful, alongside victories for the two Madrid giants. The other two outcomes in the fifth tier and Luton's late triumph at Goodison Park, on the other hand, caught a lot of participants out.

A new set of 10 will go live in the original post shortly.
