Also look out for a couple of pools that rumble on until there's a winner.

There's a TV equivalent to the Silver Screen pool too.

 @Sod's LawI second Gooseberry's recommendation to join the excellent Hares Deadpool :nod:

 

Easy as anything- with the 10 names you have there, you are already 40% of the way towards a Hares team!

@wannamaker you did not sub Delors on my list. Chamorro should move up to replace Delors who I had in position 2, thanks.

Well, I can't edit your posts mate!

 

Also, every sub will be in the 10th position unless you guys specifically say where do you want your Delors replacement to go.
