CCC - Curry next sunday and what you owe

So here is the final table.  Karen's last day win against top of the table Wolves saved Karen a whopping £2.08 on just that one result - I'd ask for a cut if I were you Neil :-)

Poor Karen was at one point paying a mere £3.39 where as Anna, Sue and I were never paying less than a tenner!  On the other hand Amy was paying as much as £27.92 and now pays just 52p and Sharon was at £31.39 and now paying £3.89.

Once again we have the 14 /10 rule - 14 paying less than the cost of the curry.

Curry is 7pm at Fort Raj, 74 Victoria Rd, Horley RH6 7PZ
It will be a buffet - we'll make sure there is vegetarian.  Anyone who wants something different, please let us know in advance.

Correct money only fr you curry please - payable to Dave and here is what you owe.

CCC - gutted!

Farewell to the Mighty Burton Albion :-(

It was a roller coaster day with Burton out of the bottom three for most of it bu an 88th minute goal for Sue's Bolton against Forest and Presto getting a 93rd minute winner  saw the end of the relegation battle that had seen three straight wins

So Karem, Margs and Anna are relegated - hmmm I think those names have been relegated before!

CCC 12 pointer and a rollercoaster day for Karen

So it isn't often that there is a 12pointer but Saturday was the day for Karen and Margs.

With their teams Sunderland and Burton fighting to avoid relegation in the Championship, teams for which they have a vested interest in League One were playing each other Pompey V Charlton and both had chances of heading to the playoffs and making it in to the dizzy heights of the Championship.

So with Barnsley trailing to Leeds, when Sunderland took the lead over Burton on 34minutes, Sunderland were fighting hard to get out of the bottom three.  Half time everything was looking positive.  But Birmingham were leading 2-1 by the 69th minute and then Burton finally managed to equalise on 86th minute.  They battled on into injury time and clinched a second on 90+2 minutes.  Not to be out done, Sunderland battled and the ball was in the net, the goal initially given and then the ref disallowed it after consulting with the linesman.  So Burton gained a rare three points.  But with the fixtures pitting relegation bound teams against each other, Sunderland can not get out of the bottom 3 now and were relegated.  Karen is the first to be thinking about which team she will curse next year (Karen's words not mine) although depending on the results of the final two matches, she may not get first choice.

ps Charlton beat Pompey - so that was one result that went Karen's way

CCC - Sunderland return to bottom of the table

So only Kelly noticed the muck up on names last week.  Kelly didn't exist and Scott and Kevin were listed twice!.  Anyway back to normality.  Missed out on Burton being bottom mid-week and after a random win, Burton have gone above Sunderland.

Neil just a point away from clinching the title and a definite free curry
