It's like waiting for a bus. You wait all year and 3 come along at once :-)

Keep up the good work Geordie

Cheers Geordie - I see that if I maintain my record of wishy-washy entries to the team-pick comp I stand a good chance of winning the Averages table :-) So, in the interests of fair play perhaps it would be better to exclude me and the 1s and 2s picks so as not to disadvantage those that try to win.

Then again, perhaps I'll be inspired to rejoin...

Pah! If YBR had followed my selection, both NUFC and I'd have be up there at the top. Bliddy amateurs and owd gits (no comments, please, I know which category I'm in - both).

Geordie, I am sick to death of all these people waiting for me to post my team, then cutting and pasting it. Well all except that Nick.Rafeal fellow who has to re type it.

Can we post them to another address or anonymously to stop this practice?

-- Anonymous, November 26, 2001

gus, and anyone else.... if you want to email me at the above address with your selections then feel free to do so. Worthwhile noting my email address in case the board goes tits up anyway.

... how the hell is Bobby Robson going to know what team to play if Gus goes 'underground' with his selection?
What on earth happened to "the greater good!"

It's a good job we have a totally fair and unimpeachable organiser for this comp. I can just imagine the suspicions aroused if a "non-public-poster" goes shooting up the table. Of course, with Geordie at the helm, any such attempts at bribery will be ignored.

PS. Geordie. If the bottle of Glenmorangie you asked for isn't available, will a (extra large Christmas size) tube of Smarties do instead?

-- Anonymous, November 26, 2001

An unused tube I hope Scrhhhhhhr!

Well I am just annoyed at the people who post after me each week, there must be at least 2 of them!

clarky has a point though, YBR must log on and take an average of his, Stevo and my tips before picking the team, then ringing swift and Screacher and telling them!

Screach, you seem to know my tast in malts! I have a feeling you will do well in December ;-)

Yeah Geordie. Clarky told me that was your usual ;-)
