LMS GW 18:

We had a tie.

The first tiebreaker is the number of goals scored by the players in your team.

Both Real Satoshi and Bee Sting FC scored two goals (Haaland and Rashford).

The second tie-breaker is countback (last week's score).

Real Satoshi: 83
Bee Sting FC: 87

So Real Satoshi is eliminated on countback.

From what I can work out, I think I may have survived a tie break for the 2nd time this season in GW25.  My 77 (-4) and Ha Ha Land's 85 (-12) both level on 73 points.  My team has 4 goals (Haaland, Salah, Saka and Odegaard), his has 3 (Haaland, Salah and Saka).

Assuming so, I feel a Phil Hellmuth "I can dodge bullets, baby" is in order.

Good job Chris.  Maybe we should find you better team-mates next year 

I made day two, I sense by the lack of yellow shirts around we will not be winning?  and I have permission to punt without team pressure?

Michelle was still in when I exited, but there were still a few levels to play.  Not sure about the others, but was shocked to discover that our chip-monster bunnydas had exited before me.

Punt away would seem to be the plan.  Good luck.

One more, before I stop digging them out!

I love The Airborne Toxic Event.  Hugely under-rated band, which I suspect is down to their name suggesting that they're some sort of death metal band.

This is a great live cover of Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus.  If the title means nothing to you, then you'll most likely recognise the original from Silence of the Lambs, as the music that Wild Bill dances to naked in his hideout.

This doesn't quite fit in either thread, as it's a cover of a song from a film, but well worth a listen, IMO.

Belly - Trust In Me (from Disney's The Jungle Book, as sung by Kaa the snake).

Suede - Brass In Pocket (originally on the NME Ruby Trax compilation of cover versions)

Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit

I guess I didn't say it very well! It was meant to be covers by a band you love which in your opinion are better than the original artist which you don't.

The Faces were one that got away from me but I did see some cracking acts. Surely there must be an old thread somewhere about your fist/fav/worst/last gig on here. I must look.

I don't dislike the original, and I'm a fan of The Jam, but I've always thought that this version is better than the original.  There's more anger in it, which fits with the lyrics of the song.

Clearly a very biased viewpoint, as a huge Carter USM fan (the username might have been a clue to this), but even the hardcore Jam fans I know don't dislike it, although not all of them would agree that it's better than the original.

Having a reserve or two wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.  I'm sure we can alter a name if necessary once we've signed up.

Great to see we've got a full team available now.

I'm still on for this.  Will see I can persuade anyone else too.
