Aye, the question being which life-prolonging pharmaceutical giant will want to sponsor us next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 20, 2022 Yeah, my route to victory really relies on a heavy downturn with one of my differentials. I’m pretty sure that most of them will die this year, but most of them feels more latter half of the year deaths at this point… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW, I think Pele would also win it for me. Not that this is likely to happen quickly enough to win it - I'd say he is second half of the year, if it is this year at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's always a DL name going around the tournaments. The Casey Kasem final saga kept lingering on during a quite exciting period of games at the 2014 World Cup, and Lord Carrington snuffed it in 2018 on the day of the France/Belgium semi-final. Understandably, Belgium were just too upset by the news to play any decent football that day... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,236 Posted January 20, 2022 I have been checking the health on my pick Greg Mears basically every six hours. Went into hospice around christmas, but no news since. Roider Cabrera fell into a coma, then vegetative state, had surgery, still lying around there. Dan Lacey, Pancake painter, off radar death? And on the clock: Frank Field, Russell Bishop, Susie Steiner (it's a very slow clock), Catherine Wybourne as well, Vicky Phelan....nothing is happening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not really sticking your neck out too far with that prediction MPFC . By my very rough calculations, all of the winning scenario picks would have to survive until around the end of May for that to happen. A touch unlikely I'd have thought. Nightmare scenario - Susie Steiner snuffs it, and myself and Banana fight out an interminable tie-breaker in which all of our our remaining picks refuse to budge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted January 21, 2022 Aye, we'll call that as a done deal and three lively weeks of full-on dead pooling fun finally finds itself a winner. The usual slight delay will commence just in case some other stiff comes out of the ether and turns out to have pooped the party with a departure ahead of the much fancied Bishop. As things stand 26 teams scored, a few were in contention and more than usual hit four figures. Banana - 2154 Joey Russ – 2140 An Fear Beag - 1810 Drol - 1797 Captain Chorizo – 1794 Book – 1789 gcreptile – 1786 msc – 1416 Salmon Mousse - 1409 Death Impends – 1088 The Old Lady – 1082 Wannamaker - 1060 Sideik – 1055 Maryportfuncity - 1052 The Old Crem - 718 Pedro67 – 713 Toast - 702 John Key - 364 Predictor - 364 Torva Messor – 364 The Unknown Man – 364 WEP - 364 The Daredevil - 358 TheSpinosaurus - 356 Doulton - 355 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted January 21, 2022 My bad btw - Bishop pegged out yesterday so the main scoreboard has been duly adjusted, one more point for most with myself and Mousse snagging an extra brace - but all positions in the table as they were.
