Well, here's a sense of deja vu - they say it's better to be lucky than good, and I'll take that all day long. After a previously barren season, The Wolf In The North claims a second weekly award in a row, and the eighth of his career - which just goes to show how awful everything has been before that, because I'm still not even in the top 20 overall. Such is life. North edged out the opposition to the tune of 33 points, with 4 correct scores (that's 8 in two weeks! Where the hell's it come from??), doubling Forest and Palace's 1-1.
Don Corleone, SmokeyGB and Huge Of Sharjah (he's over his blip, folks - be warned) all finished on 31 points, with Don notching 4 correct (doubling Villa's 2-0 win), Smokey 3 and Huge 2, doubling Spurs. No less than 11 players were then close behind on 28-30 points, showing how close this week was up until the final scoring (not that I was sweating on it or anything). Baboon was the other player this week to hit 4 correct scores on his way to 40 points.
There were 68 correct scores in total this week, and only 1 was unique, so Special Mention of the Week goes to Wolvessince63, who had Man City v Arsenal at 0-0. But he didn't have it as his minus on Goals Galore. Somebody shake him.

Okay, this was a nailbiter. Just a single point separated the top four as the Cantaloupe squished to a close, but by virtue of earning more correct scores, the title is claimed by Chris H, his second Cup of the season after his Strawberry success back last autumn. Chris H and Giantwolf reached 112 points, but Chris had 10 correct in the past 4 weeks to Giant's 7 - and considering that Giantwolf has already got his name on two previous cups, we can't actually feel that sorry for him, because all that fruit's just going to make him diabetic.
We do feel sorry for Rincewind, however. Rincewind and Wonder Boyo finished on 111 points apiece, but Boyo had 8 correct scores to Rincewind's 7 - and this is significant, because with Chris and Giant already qualified for the upcoming Fruit Bowl, that means Rincewind just lost the equivalent of a late night penalty shootout, and Wonder Boyo takes his place in the Bowl by the skin of his melon. It's a harsh world. Apologies, Rince.

Purplepault69 gained 1 more point than Giantwolf this week, so his lead now stands at a precarious 12 points. The only player in the top 8 to have a poor round was Evthewolf, who slips from 4th to 7th, allowing Contrarian, Jrpb-3 and Huge Of Sharjah to shuffle up menacingly behind Chris H in horror movie style. However, the big disaster was sadly for Lonewolf, a no-show for the first time this season, causing him to plummet out of the top 10 entirely. Bit of a concern on a double week as well, as if he doesn't return by Tuesday he'll miss another. Come back,
@lonewolf !
Wolf In The North's consecutive wins see him up to 24th! At this rate I'll be top by 2032.

The challengers have 4 weeks remaining to overhaul the Purple One, who is now just 7 wins clear. Couldn't happen, could it...?

There was a 7-goal thriller at Newcastle and a 6-goal spree at Sheffield. Four players were on the former, eleven on the latter, but no one was on both. Also, everyone's bankers for low goals (ie, the Euro games) were all rubbish, with only one game this week (City v Arsenal 0-0) yielding less than 2 goals. The winner of the round is therefore ChignalWolf, who painstakingly poured hours of deliberation into his choices (and who then went with his preferred 1-2-3---4) to reach 12 points, 2 ahead of his nearest rivals. It's kind of like being beaten by Mrs Spoon, but somehow nicer.
Only one player had a minus marker on one of the two goal fests, with Jrpb-3 donning the unlucky hat for the Sheffield game and joining the exclusive list of players to notch a minus week at -1. The sting of the Blades.

SingYourHeartsOut notched a healthy 9 this week to re-extend his lead to 7 points, and with Bigcheese and WolvesAndCows stuttering, that lead is now over a new closest challenger, SuziQ, who has carved 10 points out of the leader over the past 6 weeks. 7 points in this game is a tall order, with only 4 weeks to go, but all it might take is one misplaced minus or a couple of lucky hits to change things...
