Hello everybody and welcome to the Football On Hive 2024 Last Man or Woman Standing Competition 2024. The Rules are very simple
Pick a team:
Choose wisely, my friend, as this team will be your only hope in the treacherous world of football predictions.
No repeat picks:
Once you've chosen a team, you can't select them again. It's like trying to date the same person twice – awkward and not allowed.
Survive and advance:
If your chosen team wins, you move on to the next round. If they lose or draw, you're out faster than a referee's whistle.
One game at a time:
For the winners each week, you'll make a new pick. No looking ahead, no cheating with a crystal ball – just one game at a time.
No draws allowed:
In the event of a draw, both teams are eliminated. It's like a double-elimination tournament, but with more drama and less mercy.
The last one standing:
The competition continues until only one person remains. The last man (or woman) standing will be crowned the champion, showered with glory, and probably a few congratulatory comments.
Results Week 1
Now week 1 was interesting as I am drafting up this post just before the Spurs and Leicester match because I will be in the pub watching this one and I can't be arsed drafting a post after the match as I will be slightly inebriated and merry. So I just put Spurs down as a win such is my confidence of a win. So everyone got through except for two people who are clearly on drugs. One names are and they were the bane of my life during the Euros competition so karma has come back and beaten them on the arse there. The other was
who was more betting on United to be terrible which is actually a good prediction although they should have had 4 goals against Fulham.
Edit: Arggggghhhhhhhhhh Spurs drew. The shame the shame. Doesn't make a difference really. Everyone through to round 2
But Wait All is not lost!!!
Usually in week 1 I give the people who got knocked out a chance to come back in. So what I will do this week is actually leave the competition open to newcomers until the second round of fixtures. To make it fair on everyone I will consider Manchester City as the team selected in week 1 for these newcomers to week 2. I will also give and
another crack of the whip but for these two to come back in they will also have to forfeit Manchester city from their picks. Sounds like a good deal to me. The two people who selected Spurs are through but just can't pick them again.
