Oh dear. I feel a little guilty as no-one has got particularly close.
The total number of sprouts was 133.

No-one scored exactly and the nearest was quite a few off. But Longsider with 86 was the closest.

Maybe the adjudicator could decide if other "close" entries deserve any points.

[bfcjg]

Blimey, didn't expect that many.

[Bosscat]

Nope its always the nearest who get the points ... Congrats Longsider only 47 Sprouts out ...

[Bosscat]

Blimey, didn't expect that many.

Nobody did

Congratulations Longsider whose 5 points moves them up from joint 7th to joint 6th now on 30 points. Thanks again to BigF for a count which foxed everybody, myself included.

Come on you clarets, need to get back on top in the second half. Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

[Longsider]

Sprouts for dinner tonight to celebrate the win. UTC

[bfcjg]

It is now patently obvious that sprouts are a bad omen, the guessing was appalling and the performance matched it. Don't blame Parker and the numpties for today's game blame Big F

[jdrobbo]

What a count. The stuff of nightmares
