"75th past Oscar Winner reunion" sweepstake

Don't see my team in the list?
-
Dammit I was going to pick rapper Baby Cino, only to find that he was shot dead earlier this year. So instead I will pick SpotemGottem.

And just for absolute confirmation : https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62986369

Graham Potter was a hit for @Miracle Aligner, taking him to 15. However, that's too little too late, as it looks as though we have a winner! The BBC reports that Paul Warne is set to leave Rotherham to take over at Derby, and whilst that's a hit for four of the five teams, it's a 20th and final hit for our champion... @RoverAndOut! Congratulations Rover, a well-deserved win! Final scores Miracle Aligner 16 @msc 16 @Great Uncle Bulgaria 17 BuffaloPhil 19 RoverAndOut 20

Vivian Pickles. Because I like her name.
-
Second hit for me here, but only 2 points to follow the 4 I got for Dot Cotton, could be a lot worse!
-
To be honest I wouldn't worry about it until and unless we get confirmation of Ghella's demise.
-
Re. Ghella, I appreciate that I'm the only one who'd be affected so my opinion is likely to be given short shrift! But I think having allowed Unger as a hit, it would be inconsistent to disallow Ghella (if, of course, he is found to actually be dead.) It wouldn't give me the win, but it would be my second unique and thus give me I think three more outs. However I will of course accept the decision of the gamerunner. And, to be honest, if he died in 2020 and all we've got thus far is an unsubstantiated wikipedia edit, the chances are we aren't going to get anything more concrete anyway, which would render this moot.

A couple of recent hits in this game : Back in June, Michael Duff left Cheltenham to take over at Barnsley - he was @msc's 16th hit and my 18th, putting me one behind the leader. However today Carlos Corberan has resigned from Huddersfield, which is a 19th hit for @RoverAndOut, meaning that Paul Warne is all that stands between him and victory. Should Pep Guardiola leave Man City before Warne leaves Rotherham, however, I will tie with RoverAndOut, as we both have Warne (as does everyone except msc.) And since neither of those look like going anytime soon, it could still be a while before we have a winner or winners!

Well anyone that didn't sub in Andy Goram has already dropped the ball...
-
Out : Rudy Giuliani Keith Richards Ronnie Wood Abdullah The Butcher George RR Martin In : Andy Goram Avalon Young John Cannan Nigel Starmer-Smith Rob Burrow Thanks.
-
Just seen (whilst desperately and unsuccessfully checking my other potential hits) that Unger hasn't been crossed off on the masterlist, although it does seem that the points have been awarded - so a minor housekeeping issue.
-
Well, I've still got three nonagenarian Lords who can happily pop their clogs before Tebbit please!
-
Come on Tebbit!
-
Nice one Joey! I'm pretty happy with 7th place, finishing above some legendary Deathlisters (and some less legendary ones, to be fair )
-
When Coleman joined Accrington, they were in the Northern Premier League First Division - the third tier of non-league football. That season, Charlton won the Championship, before starting a seven season stint in the Premier League. This season, Accrington finished above Charlton. Coleman's done a great job, and probably wasn't MiracleAligner's best choice for this game!
-
That gives @Great Uncle Bulgaria a sixteenth hit, which would have taken him joint second... however Mark Warburton has also left QPR following the end of the season (although the QPR website still lists him as manager, it seems clear that he's gone) which gives me a seventeenth hit and takes me one behind @RoverAndOut. We now have discrete scoring throughout the game : RoverAndOut 18 BuffaloPhil 17 Great Uncle Bulgaria 16 @msc 15 @Miracle Aligner 14
-
Only the current bottom two, who seem to have missed the word "Inverse" in the game title, and perhaps more surprisingly msc. All placed him very low though.
-
Back when you were good, you mean? Tuesday is massive, but we've got the advantage of only needing a draw (although then we'd need another draw in the last game) and being at home. Fingers crossed!
-
Only @Great Uncle Bulgaria picked Mowbray, so your lead is still 2 - GUB moves level with me in second place (or will do, once it's officially confirmed.) Good win for my Cherries against your boys today though, I enjoyed it!

Yeah it's been a weird season in the Championship - everyone that looks like they're going to challenge for promotion immediately falls off a cliff! I've got Mark Warburton at QPR, hopefully their collapse from a promising position will prompt the club to give him the boot.
