Last Man Standing....Help Required

Collie D

Have made it to the last seven in work for our last man standing competition. Been there before and it's around about now that I become unstuck as I've usually picked all the big boys. However, this time I have kept most of them them and decided they should now come in to play but just my look have checked the fixtures list and both Utd and Chelsea are away so sticking to my golden rule ofonly picking home teams they are unavailable. Any tips? Fixture list below, have already picked Villa, Blackburn, Arsenal and Everton. Thinking of Fulham this week but suggestions welcome. Home teams only please minus the four mentioned above. Cheers

Id pick Chelsea, but if I were to stick to your rule of home teams then Newcastle United would be my pick

MrJoeSoap

I'd pick Newcastle too.

That's because you fancy Scott Parker.

Get rid of your home pick only rule and pick chelsea.


I wouldnt be at all confident with any of the home teams.

I reckon Man.City will beat Middlesbourgh. They never let me down. (Even tough I am a Liverpool Fan)

I've supported City for 17 years and they've always let me down. Don't back them. Ever.

A terrible thing to say but unfortunately true. Six promotions and relegations in seven seasons had taught me a thing or two.

Thats a tough one for home teams..

Liverpool or Portsmouth but jasus if you only ever take home teams maybe thats why you always get stuck at this stage..

Chelsea all the way for this one..

evilhomer

Pompey would be my choice for a home team.

Chelsea look great for this week.

Fulham of course are VERY good at home, but they are more of a gamble them Pompey or Chelsea.

Well I did watch it on the Sunday night highlights...

Don't make me get the Wexford photo's out!

Fulham for me. Very good at home

I'd abandon the home rule too (EDIT: damn Parnellites), there is not one away team that I wouldn't fancy - other than Everton and maybe Villa. Newcastle is probably you're best bet if you insist on sticking to the rule, but Chelsea are more or less a sure thing next week. Many of the other 6 will likely already have used up the Chelsea option and will be stuck with some tricky choices. Best play it safe I say.

Cheers for the advice, lads and ladies. Might actualy go for Chelsea. Don't fancy City at all and have been stung by Newcastle before. As for going against Boro, have learned the hard way not to mess with them when money's involved. Think I'll let PP decide this week unless someone has a really strong feeling about someone. Whoever Paddy Power's fav is this weekend may well get my vote. Just need to get through this week and then I'm confident of winning

ninebeanrows

I'd personally go for spurs......

Hitting abit of form of late, expect them to win away to Watford..

As long as Keane doesnt play that is:eek:

Fine then when Man. city win and Chelsea draw don't come crying to me.:D
Only buzzin good luck with whoever you pick
P.S. Man. City

Man City and Newcastle are 2 teams I've great problems backing, Chelsea ftw

PP have their odds up for the weekend and their home banker is Liverpool against Villa, not putting my money on that, time to break my own rule. Even though they weren't an option Chelsea seem to be the choice here so going with them. Fingers crossed and thanks again. Has the advantage of being first game of the weekend too so can relax after half past two if they win.

Went with Pompey last week. Man United this week despite a poor show midweek. Five left, three on Liverpool and one on Bolton so hoping for three results to go my way to win the pot
