End of the league cup campaign in midweek after a late equaliser against our rickety back line was compounded by a late winner in extra time to hand Jose his first League Cup loss that wasn't on the lottery of penalties.
Very close to his first Perfect Prediction of his CPL career, Sheriff who correctly predicted a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes and had Lampard as one of his scoring choices, unfortunately only as back up and so he only picks up the 10 points instead of 20. Also well done to Don't Click who predicted both that the game would end as a draw after 90 mins and that Lamps would open the scoring and to the 6 other posters who got the Lampard prediction correct but all predicted Chelsea wins. .
At the top there was further development as White Wall netted a 4 points and takes the outright lead over npe, still a long way to go however. Also well done to JNR who took an outright lead at the top of the FGS charts.
Next up, its a trip to the Emirates to face table topping Arsenal in a derby game. (Monday 23rd December 2013 @ 20.00).
