Calling all food counters. You are cordially invited to guess how many pearl onions are in my jar. Moreover I would like you to also guess how many ml of joooooose they are pickling therein. I will award any exact guesses 10 counting points, or 5 points for nearest if nobody guesses exactly. Count will close at 1pm on Saturday and results will be published shortly thereafter. I will then combine the points scored with the previous 3 food counts for this season and publish the first version of this seasons food counting points table.

We are still in need of a volunteer to count for the Liverpool game on 14th September, otherwise that game will go uncounted. Which would be a shame because we will need the food counting gods for that one. I would do another count myself but will be abroad on holiday so am unable to oblige. So please can we have a volunteer.

In the meantime let's get stuck into the Manc prima donnas
and get all 3 points on Saturday.

Up the mighty clarets, come what may.

Congratulations to Les latchan fan club for being closest for both onions and jooooooose. 10 points is yours. I will sacrifice my 5 counting points to the food counting gods in the fervent hope that they will respond graciously by allowing us to gain some league points this afternoon.

Thanks to everybody for taking part in the food count and let's hope for success in the upcoming football contest against the ManUre.

I will post an up to date leaderboard later today.

Up the Mighty Clarets come what may.

Well done to Les latcham fan club for taking an early lead with big scores in the Spurs and ManU food counts. It is early days yet so all to play for.

We are still looking for a counter to volunteer for the Liverpool game in two weeks time. Any offer would be greatly appreciated as we will need the food counting gods in our corner for that one.

Thanks again for taking part and here's hoping for some reward this afternoon.

Up the Mighty Clarets come what may.
