Last Man Standing is launched

[ClaretTony]

I've gone for Arsenal on the basis that if I go out the Clarets have had a very good weekend.

And MDWat has gone for them because he's a .........

[expoultryboy]

Picked wolves early in the week thinking grealish would be out due to covid breach with Barkley ☹

[Quickenthetempo]

Never been happier with going out.

If a last man standing competition was all it took to beat Arsenal, then you should of started one years ago.

[lakedistrictclaret]

Just three of us left.

[ClaretTony]

Emails have gone out to the final three - cut off is 3 p.m. tomorrow.

[ClaretTony]

The selections have all been received and are now available on the announcement thread at the top of the board.

I have to say that it has got a whole lot easier to do the admin with the reduced numbers left in even though I've missed out on a potential few quid.

Good luck to the last three.

Shows how unpredictable the league is this season that there’s only 3 left after just 4 weeks. I did one with just 14 people last year that ran for 11 weeks!

I'm stunned it has got down to three so quickly but week 2 was astonishing when Fulham's win at Leicester wiped out 42 of us.

Are you going to open another one up as soon as this game finishes? I didn’t take the first game seriously: I fielded my under 23 side.

[MACCA]

I thought it wouldn't get serious until about 4 or 5 games in, so I looked at the first 4 fixtures and Fulham's looked a horrible run and they looked dire.

Everton
Leicester
Man City
Liverpool

I thought back against them every week and its happy days, into week 5 I go... their form soon lifted

[ClaretTony]

Down to two

I hope so too ... I too gave the young lads some valuable first team experience on this occasion !

I'd no idea how long this one was going to run - still don't, the last two could go on for weeks yet. It's proved popular so I think there it might be worth running another once we've got Christmas/New Year and the FA Cup 3rd round out of the way.

With some of the stupid results this season, if the original one was finished this weekend you could probably get another full game done with the 3 games over christmas this season

Top idea Tony

[ClaretTony]

One through tonight - lakedistrictclaret went with Leeds - all on the Man United game tomorrow to see whether we go into the weekend games.

[Bosscat]

If I was Lake District Claret I would have a punt on Utd winning ... That way its win win because anything other than a Utd win tonight and he he wins LMS... if Utd win he wins as well and goes into Saturdays hat for LMS...

Just a thought

Nice idea Bosscat, but I'm not a betting man. It must be forty years since I've been into a bookies, and I' ve never bet on line.

I haven't the right temperament for gambling.

I don't regard LMS as gambling, more of a donation to charity.

( that's not to say I'll be giving my winnings to charity if I do win! )

Snap on the gambling LDC and the charity giving

Good luck tonight on Sheff Utd getting a draw we don't want them to win

[ClaretTony]

Week 6 complete - both remaining in the competition and so we go into Week 7.

[ClaretTony]

We finally have LAST MAN STANDING

[lakedistrictclaret]

Yes, it's not been a good day for me. First we lost, then West Ham let me down.

Still, I'm not a bad loser.

Well done, calclaret.

[chekhov]

Well done Calclaret. Looking forward to the next round!

[ClaretTony]

Can I again say a massive thanks to everyone who took part while offering my congratulations to calclaret.

I think we can hopefully run another one during the second half of the season.

[Quickenthetempo]

Well done CalClaret.
