Just a reminder that naughty Southampton started on -4 points due to Spygate during the playoffs last season. (Amy didn't want promotion - she wanted to make the most of the shirt!)
So before the season started Amy was paying the estimated full whack of £384 (assuming £16 a head curry). This has quickly whittled down after just one weekend of games to a mere £100.03 (less than Ted's final bill last season). The key thing to note is Pompey are still above Southampton for at least one more match as newcomer Lee's Watford kindly beat the 'Scummers'. It must have been some match!. Watford had only 34% possession and won 2-1 and in the process accumulated a whopping 6 yellow cards! Lee you need to learn to play nicely! Not as bad as Kelly's Bristol City who had player Randell sent off for a 2nd yellow - the first red card of the season.
A key thing to note is the change which means after the final scheduled match of the season, even more teams have the chance to escape the CCC. They have changed the rules and now 8 teams go into the playoffs. 3rd and 4th are straight into the semis and 5th-8th play a one legged quarter final to see who will make the semis. Whilst the 8th team may get to the dizzy heights of the premiership, it won't make a penny's difference to the cost of their curry and that is the way it should be :-)
Three early kick-offs on saturday. Will Ted's Lincoln gain their first points at these dizzy heights for 65years in their match against Pompey. Probably - I am generally quite generous to Ted (and most people to be fair)
