I would expect we will be in the black third strip and Villa will be wearing the claret. So I want the team in black to win.

God that sounds like the counting was an absolute nightmare!

I kinda had that with the gems last week and had it with something else before. So difficult to keep track. Well done Eloise!!

[Bosscat]

at least I got some points this week even if I was the lowest points scorer

Well done EL

[Eloise Laws]

Apologise for the delay in these photographs

Congratulations to all our points scorers (i.e. everybody) :-

A massive 50 points keeps Croydon Claret in 1st place blasting through the 100 points barrier to 105. Surely the earliest 100 points has been reached.

A big 45 points each for jdrobbo and yours truly sees us move up to 2nd and joint 3rd on 80 and 70 points respectively.

30 points also leaves Longsider in Joint 3rd on 70 points.

Another big 45 points moves tarkys_ears up to joint 5th now level on 65 points with Les latcham fan club, scoring 25.

A very respectable 40 points moves Dawlish Claret up to 7th place on 60 points.

35 points moves BigF up to 8th now on 55 points.

25 points leaves DingleDangle in 9th place on 50 points.

20 points leaves Zooniverser in 10th place on 45 points.

Claretblue enters the leader board in Joint 11th on 35 points, joined by Houseclaret scoring 25 points.

distortiondave enters the leader board in joint 14th on 25 points joining tally scoring 20 points and Bosscat scoring 10 points.

5 points for counting sees Eloise Laws slip down to joint 11th on 35 points as a result of all the points everybody else scored.

A lot of updates here so if you spot any errors please let me know and I'll correct next time.

Thanks to everybody who took part and thanks again to EL for a fabulous high scoring food count, albeit a disappointing result in the football.

Here's hoping we come back from (yet another) international break refreshed and raring to go.

Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

[jdrobbo]

Brilliant analysis! Thank you

[Bosscat]

Cheers for collating that Cmg

[Eloise Laws]

Thanks Cmg for another collating job well done!
The food count table is certainly looking better than our football league table….but it’s early days and there’s a long way to go yet. Little did I know that a little pack of sweets would yield such high scores, and I think the first time that every entry gained points.
All good fun!
