We are at the end of the first week of the Last Man Standing knockout competition for 50 S.B.I and out of 35 contestants 13 got knocked out already. It was not a good start as Manchester United drew which means there was a mass.Wolves also lost which was a major surprise especially to yours truly who picked them . So I am knocked out which is fine because one of the rules of steem basic income is that you cannot send to yourself. There were some major exits this week with the former champion @davor27 falling to his knees. The difficult second season @davor27, I am sorry for your troubles. The other former champion @jclark got through with Everton playing very well this weekend beating Cardiff 1-0. Below are the results and a brief summary and some consolation prizes.

@abh12345 first time entry in last man standing ended in tears today with Manchester United unable to beat Crystal Palace. Unfortunately drawing a game means an immediate knock out. Because you were such a great sport and entered this great competition, I have a little something in Blanchy's consolation goodie bag. You win is a nice stroll down the promenade in Cala D'or Mallorca and you can also stop into a coffee shop and have a nice espresso out of your own money. There's no limit on that prize by the way. You can redeem it whenever you feel like it. Isn't that lovely?
@shepz1 picked Manchester City. Steem may be falling off a cliff but that doesn't matter because you are through to the next round Shep. Congratulations. Wooooo. The other 4 multiple accounts you gave got knocked out unfortunately so you have only 1 chance left. 😜
@cryptoandcoffee who is waiting for a rugby competition is gritting his teeth and picking a football team. You are through and I cannot think of anyone else that will have the fixtures out between musing posts to makes sure he wins and gets the prize!
@balticbadger sailed through as well which is strange for an American to know so much about the sockkker. But I will translate it for you badger, The Man City franchise had 4 insertions against the West side Hammers and the game was over after the second quarter with a Leeroy Sane body kick against a pretty lame West Side Hammers deefense and some dumbass goal tendering.
@melinda010100 I was concerned you picked Fulham but I think it was written in the stars that you would get through.I saw it in the squirrels eyes in your post.
@ykdesigns Unlucky but you got knocked out. Commiserations. The good news is you have a consolation prize. The next time you shampoo your hair, Shampoo it again, free of charge and put in some conditioner after it.
@pcste You and I picked the same team. Your consolation prize is to take the day off work at your own expense. Have a sleep in and maybe watch a film in your dressing gown. Again this prize doesn't have an end date so you can redeem it anytime.
@erikah You got through. Congratulations. I was a bit concerned during the game when Arsenal were getting a nice few offside flags against them for no reason but they prevailed in the end as they always do. Welcome to the next round.
@brittandjosie Commiserations . I picked Wolves also and got knocked out. Your special prize is to go into Primark Rotterdam and tell the general manager Alan that he is bring you for a coffee or beer. Preferably before the 4 o clock post.
@janton commented on the last man standing posts 125 times with every question imaginable. He then entered the competition 5 minutes before the deadline saying that he didn't want to win. He picked Watford so his wish came through. @janton your special prize is that you can watch the new Coen brothers film the ballad of Buster Scruggs and I asked your wife if she can give you a beer and a nice comfortable chair during the film.
@hamg96 You have been knocked out. Your consolation prize from Blanchys goodie back is to go out to your favourite restaurant and buy yourself a nice meal out of your own money. You deserve it.
@futuremind Everton ended up being a great choice and you still have the top 6 to choose from next week. Those who pick the top six in the first 3-4 weeks risk a harder challenge later on in the competition. Good choice.
What Next.
So the Fixture list for the next round is below. The contestants who got through can you please send on your selection before 8pm Friday 30th November. Any late entries will be eliminated. The onky rule is:
You Cannot pick the same team again
Fixtures
And thats it. Best of luck in round 2. Hard luck to the other entrants that got knocked out so early. Manchester United drawing was a shock but those are the breaks.

Aww, @blanchy, you should have told me you need help to pick a team, I would have helped you 😁
😜😜😜. I knew before the game that you cannot send yourself SBI so I picked a dodgy team 😉. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it .
I believe you, don't worry, I'm on your side 😉😁
Hi@blanchy. Looking forward to the next round as thee are some banana skins for sure. The consolation prizes are worth it and would love to see Mrs Janton serving a beer to the great plains of Texas.
@cryptoandcoffee. What is your selection?
Have no internet so will have to be man city for tomorrow.
haha! oh my gosh sir blanchy you should have used the comedy tag I'm falling out of my chair laughing! Yay success! I lost straight out of the gate! Your synopsis for each of us is hilarious, I especially liked Asher's consilation prize and of course mine as well, a dream come true that would be. lol.
When steem hits 20 quid . Il fly you to Ireland and show you the sights
is that all? sir blanchy I'm hoping it goes higher than that but I guess that would be reaching the heights for steem wouldn't it, since it only got up to what..$8 before? I have no idea and haven't studied prices. What's a quid anyways, is that a pound? like a pound sterling? so roughly $20? For most things I need a redneck translation sir blanchy! lol.
Ok but it's gotta be in nice weather. I hear the winters are terrible over there, that's what Irish people say, or people who were there in the winter, way too cold of winds, strong winds cutting through ya no? But not much snow for some reason.
Anyway I was drooling looking at those photos, couldn't even think of anything ornery to say! lol.
A quid is a pound or a dollar. Whatever. The winters aren't too bad. Normally doesn't fall below feezing . Wear a coat and you would be fine. You will be mostly inside anyway enjoying the music and a warm drink.
but sir blanchy I want to be out hiking and seeing the fabulous scenery. Unless you just stole those photos from someplace else and your area really just looks like a swamp or something! lol.
We don't really have that many swamps here @janton. In the small county of Cavan there are 342 lakes. Those lakes are indeed close by and I will bring you if you can still get out of a chair.
what the??? 342 lakes in one county? I has no idea. Then the whole place is lakes, I love that! And there are no snakes there really sir blanchy? No snakes would be a dream come true because here you always have to be alert and on guard for that and carry a snake gun if you're smart. wow, how big are your counties? well I was just curious to know if they are the size of ours but I don't know what are sq miles are for counties. anyway forget that question, bottom line there's lakes everywhere! if the stuff hits the fan and electric goes out you can always get water.
LOSERS lol, unlucky @abh12345 :-)
Mmh, knocked out in round 1. Shamefully!
I will go with Chelsea this week, that is a tough looking fixture schedule.
its a tough one next week . You are right but Chelsea are normally a solid enough choice. Thanks for your entry
Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I commented then read the post, interesting you say 4 accounts lol, and think I have a case of M.A.D. Though I only ever had two of my own, and sold 1 earlier in the year, :-)
Was reeling you in from your post yesterday 😉😜😂😂😂
Yeh I know, all good fun. :-)
I saw part if the game with the adolescent 16 year old son, but My plan is to go to visit ALAN with a beer and ask him which team I need to vote for next time😉
Alan is actually Scottish so he won’t be great with the tips! 😂😂😂
Fuck I was planning to follow Peter @fullcoverbetting but he is a knock-outer too
Oh My dear Lord what does a blond gal do,
Listen to the 16 year old i guess he said OK DID YOU VOTE WOLVES ??? OUT OFF ALL OF THEM ??
OK YOU ARE MAD AND LOSING TOMORROW
Guess he was right
As I said another manic monday 😉
Indeed knocked out in the first round! So, following me would have resulted in the same I guess :)
Manchester city
You can’t pick the same team twice mate . Choose again .
I just picked the only team I ever heard of!! So I guess this time I will pick Manchester City!

Hahaha! That squirrel was peeking in the window this morning and he told me to follow your lead and go with the Wolves this week. Plus, since they play early I won't have to wait so long to see if I am knocked out this week! Wolverhampton Wanderers
Perfect Wolves it is so! I hope squirrely is right and not nuts !
If he is wrong he may end up in a pie! ( just kidding - don't tell @erikah that I said that!)
She has eaten worse In her day I would say! 😂😂😂
