At first glance I thought you'd left the ball in image 3 in B11 then I realised it was a women wearing a beanie hat

You never know, she might have it hidden "under" the beanie
There was a famous instance a few years ago where Spot posted the wrong links and the ball did appear. Some folk STILL got it wrong

ALL selections are checked, rigorously, by Spot and his band of VAR buddies (Actually it's just him and the cute little poodle from down the street) and anything untoward, like drawing EVERY game, would be looked at carefully

In this week's Podcast, Spot explores the concept of "LUCK". Is it luck that allows Buxton to see things that others don't? Is it luck that causes Dave to plummet from the dizzy heights in Leeds to "achieve" 8 straight defeats? Now, that is impressive! How has Sproggy managed to draw half of his matches to date? Luck? A random throw of the dice is "luck". Finding an invisible ball in a grid of 130 is nothing short of a miracle! (Especially when a Devious Dalmatian, with a wonky eye, choses the most obscure images from a match long since erased from the memory).
So, "good luck" everyone
P.S. Spot says that the stew was particularly good this week Buxton

Just going back to what I said earlier, if there was someone at the head of the league called "Ambros catchpole" I'd know you were having a laugh. Took me all day to figure that Anagram out, knackered now I need another kip

Luck, or just lack of concentration? I've no idea. All I know is I'm getting stronger, holding up all but 1 of the league.

Even Hammers Fans must follow Spot the Ball and Spot's Podcast on LUCK.
From their Knees Up Mother Brown site, "Burnley Hammer" (Hammer's fan from Burnley?! Really??) :
"Lady Luck. If your star striker is going to miskick, do an air kick, miss an open goal, or hit the woodwork - the odds of it happening against Burnley are high!"

You don't need to creep

You're playing me so your 3 points is pretty much guaranteed
But just in case it does make a difference. Thank you Ralph and Spot for your time, hard work and dedication in organising this every week

Even the VAR panel cannot be bought with flattery, although you would question that after the Premier League decisions yesterday !
Spot's poodle friend said: "Leave it with her" But, I'm not sure what she meant
