If we do carry this on into the 80s I have just has a look and whilst I love 80s music. The best stuff didn't get to No.1 No Kate Bush, No Peter Gabriel, No Erasure, No Depeche Mode, No OMD And remember it was The Flying Pickets that took Only You to No 1 not Yazoo

I didn't mean to put any pressure on but there may be a delay in the New Year in getting the teams up whilst I verify them All teams submitted by the deadline will get to play the game It normally takes about 18 months or so anyway so a little bit of delay at the beginning shouldn't be too much of a problem

Croatia 4 v Morocco 1 3 yellow cards

In SHDB IV there were 23 entries which meant that if every player has picked a unique in each category there should have been 115 separated picks What we ended up with was Star Trek - 60 Baseball - 53 Pulitzers - 57 Olympians - 70 Cabinet - 41 So far with 10 entries validated the biggest number of picks is 36 and the lowest is 27 but the further we go the more duplicate picks we get

It is the gateway to The Eighties

I have fully verified the nine entries I have received so far I am going to be largely out of action between Christmas and New Year so get those entries in as quick as possible Also if you could let me know if you intend to submit a team it might be helpful.
