it's Italian (I think, I'm trusting Google translate on this one) for 'for what it's worth', although it could mean anything knowing my luck!

Remembering Fudgie's X-rated attempt to encourage Jarkko's new team, I will bet that your Italian isn't as bad as his Norwegian...:-)

So, that means the following teams have been eliminated:
Livorno (Big Fudge) Lazio (Gazza) Fiorentina (ifothers) Catania (ifothers) Cagliari (Gazza) Genoa (a_r_s) Verona (Downy) AC Milan (Maccy) Udinese (a_r_s) Chievo (Sir Roger)
And, since they have lost both their teams, we say goodbye to Gazza, ifothers and a_r_s who have all, sadly, been caught by the Polizia and locked up.

By the same token, the following teams remain in the competition:
Parma (BBLW) Bologna (Sirius) Torino (Sir Roger) Atalanta (Downy) Juventus (Sirius) Roma (Big Fudge) Napoli (Dudley) Sassuono (Maccy) Sampdoria (BBLW) Inter Milan (Dudley)
So congratulations are in order to Sirius, Lennie and Dudders who still have both their teams in the competition. Sir Roger, Downy, Big Fudge and Maccy have one team left each and live to fight another day.

A special shout out to a_r_s who, whilst eliminated, played a blinder on the first tie-break (Cardiff v West Ham) as he was just 3 short of getting it spot on!

For the Gameweek 2 fixtures, which will follow shortly, remember that if you are playing an eliminated team, a draw is sufficient to keep you in the competition. If two teams who both remain in the competition are playing each other, the next tie-break questions will apply.

Please note that the following players are involved in a potential tie-break situation:
SIRIUS BBLW DUDLEY MACCY SIR ROGER
Please could I have your guesses for the attendance at NORWICH V HULL at Carrow Road on Saturday, by PM or e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk, by midday Friday?
Should both of Sirius' matches end in a draw, I will need a second tie-break for the Bologna v Napoli fixture, so could both Sirius and Dudley also send me their guess for the attendance at MILLWALL V IPSWICH, again by midday Friday.
I will send each of you a PM to clarify what I need from you to avoid any confusion!
Thanks everyone for playing!
Sandy

Congrats to Sirius, and best of luck to everyone else still left in the competition.

Not sure if this will make you feel better or worse Gazza, but for what it's worth you and Sirius were only 303 apart on the tie-break so Lazio nearly scraped through!
