As i've never met a Notts County fan I'm not that fussed - though as you have asked nicely I will edit the post when I next update selections

You'd think, I don't want to burn my Newcastle pick early though, let's be honest they should win most weeks so don't see the value in using it now when someone else (who I don't think will be that reliable and therefore I don't really want them in hand for later weeks) has a game they should win.

 

[BillyDee]

My experience from this type of competition has been it's best to go big early (hence my first pick of Reading..?). But keeping bankers back for later is no good if you are out. We shall see!

 

[Parkins left foot]

This competition, and football in general, shows that there are no banker's.

Unexpected results come up all the time. You can only go on percentages & likely outcome, though that is all it will be.

We have had weeks in this when almost everyone has piled into the expected obvious winner only to all go out when they didn't - a draw gets you nothing in this!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I get to have a free shot at a legitimate rant about how shite Villa are if they let me down here. I can't lose.

That's part of the fun - the number of times Chelsea let people down in this last year was legendary

Newcastle please.

 

[Tony Towner]
