Derby day in the Pine-First household....on the plus side Wycombe still firmly anchored to the bottom of the table...even though they scraped a lucky win :-)!!!

Owls v Bees

 Me and Dan witnessed a tantilising match last night, with Dan running out the winner 2-1. Not sure if I'm going to need a claim this season though, promotion is a bit of a long shot.

CCC - ladies still on top !!!!

 Whilst it is international break there is time to catch up on the CCC.  Kelly and Lyn have maintained their 100% record and share the same goal difference.  Stoke are surprisingly less than the cost of a curry and Ted has made a dent in his huge starting point and is now at £69.29 but it is a long way to go.

correction Barnsley = Dave rather than Anna paying twice!

Kelly and Lyn have a freebie

 I'm not sure that these two lovely ladies have ever had a free curry at any stage of the season before so it would be remiss of me not to post it whilst that is the case.  Perhaps a little cruelly Kelly beat Ted who's Owls are desperate for points to get out of negative. Interestingly if he had drawn it would have saved him only 50p although a win would have saved him a tenner.  The Midlands teams are no faring so well at the start of this season.

Start of 20-21 season - it's started and Ted is reducing his debt rapidly!

 Hi all, so the new season has started. More about admin at another time, but for now the important news for Ted.  Ted wanted to know how much his curry was costing him due to his 12 point deduction.

Assuming the curry will be £11 (can't really assume that now) before the season started Ted would have been paying the lot £264.

On the first evening Watford won and that saved Ted £50.50 as everyone else owed a bit.  Managing to win himself on the Saturday, Ted in now down to the mere sum of £99.99 a dramatic saving of 62% in 2 days.  Most of us would be happy with that (if you didn't start so high!).  Here is where you are for now.

CCC - season is finally over

What a night that was! How exciting with so many teams with stuff to play for, promotion, playoffs and relegation.  Goals going in and the situation changing constantly - if I'd been on the ball I'd have done some sort of spreadsheet,

Anna did no favours for Dan and I ruined Mick's chances.  Lyn laid down and let Neil sneak into the playoffs. Congratulations to Dave and Karen on promotion.

Despite their recent form trying to launch themselves as high as possible, Wigan were in the situation that their 12 point deduction was applied as they could get relegated and relegated they have been ..... but they hope to appeal. Kate's curry more than doubled overnight.

Not sure when the curry will be - we need to find a curry house big enough for social distancing or a big venue and a takeaway.  Anyone any thoughts?

It's been a while....

Well it has been a very strange season.....

The re-start has meant games have been thick and fast and at random times.  West Brom, Leeds and Brentford have all been battling but also slipping up.
The Leeds game has just finished and Dave is one point away from promotion.  You may think it is harsh that Anna at the bottom of the table lost to Dave on an own goal, but actually the way the result ended up she has saved herself 28p anyway so sort of win-win!

I think it is only Middlesbrough that have lost their manager in the last few months but there is the issue of Wigan having gone into Administration and the threat of a 12 point deduction.  At first it looked like a clear case of Wigan getting relegated but they have battled - a boy have they battled when they knocked 8 passed Hull for no reply two days ago! Harsh.

So if Kate wished to remain with the CCC, what better time to get relegated bottom when she would have first dibs at taking Norwich back.  But level on points with Hull and Luton (after a 12point deduction) currently they would miss out on the drop with a far superior goal difference of +1 compared to their rivals -26 and -30, so Norwich back for Kate.

Meanwhile coming up we have Coventry, Rotherham and Wycombe a new name in the CCC.  I suspect Anna may take Coventry back and it is the return of Rotherham for the 3rd time.

CCC - Dave regains the top spot

A win for Leeds against Huddersfield and a draw for West Brom away to Swansea sees Dave regain the free Curry.
Not looking good for Anna cost wise

CCC - Coronavirus Cancels Championship!!!!

No not really although in fairness Amy and Anna maybe thinking it.  I don't have a contingency for that.  But here is the latest tables although Kate has managed to pull away and Colin wants to sit among the girls obviously!
Lyn's Reading aren't costing as much as usual but still more than the price of the curry

CCC significant savings for some but costly at the bottom

Wins for Chris and Anna gave them a considerable saving in the cost of their curry (although they are still paying more than the cost of a curry)

CCC - new team at the bottom - unhappy new year for some!

Happy New Year... and 'unhappy' new person at the bottom of the table - Amy is propping the table up although in fairness Anna is on the same number of points, just doesn't get the glory due to a 9 goal better goal difference, but as Anna plays her game in hand tonight she could overtake Kate tonight
The battle at the top ended 1-1 so Dave and Karen remain at the top in that order.

QPR scored 6 against Cardiff and Stoke randomly decided to score 5 against Huddersfield- is that there entire number of goals for the month now used up?
