Okay, lads. Let’s add a bit of banter and spice to the next few weeks. I’m going to keep tabs on which of the top 6 sides score the most goals. The rule is very simple. Every time one of your players scores a goal, your team earns a point. The team with the highest number of points at the end of the competition wins. That’s it! I will need you lads to help me out, by submitting goal claims. Clearly, you will each know your clubs better than I, and you will take a keener interest in how your players perform for their respective nations. Other clubs can also take part, but you’ll have to supply me with the claims, because I won’t be arsed to do the research. Good luck, lads.

Good idea, Tel. It’s probably well worth your while, each of you, listing your players and the country they each represent, which will make it easier for us to follow the goal-fest action.
It’s a given that Pixie and the Chelsea boys are in. Indeed, I’ve made this a “top 6 shootout” so as to stop those boys beeling. Originally, I was going to restrict it to top 4. I wonder who will keep an eye on the City players?
You’ve got some winners, there, Bro. It’s going to be a fascinating challenge. And it’ll add some interest in the more obscure games, perhaps.
