Last Man Standing is launched

Quick look suggest there are 12 through, 15 out and another 42 to play all on Leicester. So we will have 12 or 54 left in week 3.

I want a Leicester win as it's the best result for Burnley.

Definitely not because I will go through to the next round...

Absolutely MACCA - and that justifies me calling Leisure selfish

They are the last leg of my weekend treble after Watford & Man Utd won and currently have £80 on Leicester at 4/7 so for selfish reasons I hope Leicester win

Fulham winning 0-2. Could be a major upset on the cards.

Leicester are now 2-0 down

Well that was fun whilst it lasted. Effing Leicester just remembered why I can’t stand them.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 7:28 pm

The only good news here is that I don’t have too many emails to send out.

I don't feel too bad now with Liverpools draw on Saturday

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 8:28 pm

All the emails have now gone out to those who were successful in reaching week 3

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:10 pm

Just noticed that with the exception of Leisure everyone through to the 3rd week has bet on the Clarets to lose at least once. So much for positivity being rewarded in life

Enjoyed taking part in Last Man Standing ClaretTony. Would definitely be interested in participating again should there be another one.

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 10:51 pm

Personally I would give it to Leisure now, solely based on the fact of whom he had to go through and all the others going through picked a certain side.

I'm routing for Leisure now

It was fun while it lasted, a little more for the foodbank sooner probably , which can only be a good thing.

AfloatinClaret · Post by **AfloatinClaret** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:26 am

Despite having two entries, I still only managed to pick a single winning team - Burnley! It's good to support a side who you can rely on.

pompeyclaret · Post by **pompeyclaret** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:28 am

Feel like I bet on the clarets to lose with choosing the Foxes - now Fulham are above us in the league, and I'm out. At least the foodbank gets some of my money, maybe I'll have more luck on the lotto

I wasn't expecting it to be down to 12 so far and I agree with CrosspoolClarets, it's shameful selecting Burnley to lose.

We will see how long this runs and then hopefully hold another in the second half of the season.

jtv · Post by **jtv** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 3:06 pm

Perhaps one of the rules should be that no-one can pick Burnley's opponents in that round

In true Trump style I think we should do last weekends selections again, and bring that rule in.

All in favour say I...

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 6:55 pm

Looking on the list, there is a few who picked Man City that had Burnley the week before.

So to take that risk, you can’t blame them for having an easy week at it.

If I pick Villa against Newcastle can I wait for the pools panel verdict?

What if you have chosen every team but one and the only team left available to you play Burnley?

That's because the idiot chose Aston Villa, didn't notice the game was postponed and got lumbered with Sheffield United.

I've just sent out the emails for week 4 with reference to week 5 for those who win through (midweek fixtures)

I know a few have asked on here if their entries have been received so I've made a change. If you look at the announcement thread at the top, once your entries have been received and recorded, I've indicated under Week 4 on that thread. Your selections are not shown, that will be after the cut off, but the word received will be alongside your name.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 12:30 pm

Just to let you know I entered my team about an hour ago.

I've not been online today really until just now but I've picked up your entry. They are all in now and the submissions are listed in the announcement thread.

Good luck all of you - that is except the two who have gone for Arsenal of course which includes my troublesome mate.

I've gone for Arsenal on the basis that if I go out the Clarets have had a very good weekend.
