Last season when we where struggling for a win I did the tinned food count for the first time that season against Brentford to try and change our luck ultimately we put in one of our best performances of a poor season so as not to get caught out against Huddersfield I'm giving this Claretsmad/Up the Clarets institution one last swansong to get us off to a flyer....I know one or two will help out but let's keep it going for a full season between us and I'm sure it will help us have a promotion winning season,the wife has some weird & wonderful stuff in the cupboards...and I'm sure others have to
Juice & number of olives

I'll tell you what the are the finest tinned olives I've ever tasted and I truly recommend them ...so I can't say I won't have a nibble.

The original counters will tell you that you have to follow certain rules for the positive effect on the team to take place. I don't know if any research has been done as to whether that still applies to the modern era.

Different league, different manager, different format, exciting times.

29 fruit of the gods.
112 mils of fake Italian Virgin oil

Cheers Steve

I'm usually rubbish at this, but I'll give at a bash anyway.

41 olives
188 mls of joose.

Cheers for stepping up Steve, and hopefully you can play your part in getting the Kompany era up and running with a win.

Thanks for the count Steve. Lack of counters will probably see it fizzle out about November but cheers for stepping up.

If its successful ... there will be no shortage of counters (I have been sussing out tins ready to go already) and perhaps a revamp to the old rules is just what is needed ...

As nonaynever says ... Different League ... Different Manager ... Different Format ... Exciting Times

I’ve dusted off the old copy of the “Anagamithmic Method to Tinned Food Counting” by the leading expert of the earth 20th Century, Count Finn Deni-Godot and refreshed the guessing cells
