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 @seki1 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 @bil.prag 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 @bil.prag and @seki 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.

See what your team has caused now.😊
🚶
God damn it. I totally forgot but thanks for giving me a second chance. I'll eliminate the weak teams from the list this year, so my first pick for Round 2 will be Totnum Hotspot to win their game
Giddy up!! I missed originally, so nice to get a shot, cheers. I'll go Chelsea week 2 man. Hope all well your side.
All good mate. Glad you are in.
Has to be Brighton this week.
Missed round, lazy me 🙃. My pick for this week is Newcastle
Fulham for GW2
Liverpool for me. Even though I don't like to see them win.
You know, I have forgotten what the actual hell I picked and which drugs I was in 😭😂😂
Regardless I'm in it to win it🔥😂😂
Let's go with Fulham.
They really impressed me last week despite losing...
And I chose Leicester 😂
Let's go!
😂😂
Very good.🙂
A sub-plot is taking place here. How I wish there's a trophy for the winner(vs @seki1) as you put in some spice with the way you say it and how you care to interact.🫡
Ikr.. It's a just a game and making it more fun isn't bad at all.
"making it more fun" was my attraction to yours, that's why I lauded how you took the initiative.
going with liverpool this week
I am going with Manchester City for this round.
lets go with Liverpool this round and try to stay in the game.
Spurs for me this week mate. Even they can't waste any more chances against a team preparing for relegation!
I will go for man city this week
Man City my choice for the week.
I am picking Manchester City
Let’s go for Manchester City. I hear they’re quite good
Looks like it's Spurs this week for me.
We up
Give me Leicester this time.
I will go for Manchester city this week.
Hey there @blanchy. My prediction for Newcastle didn't get counted. Did I miss the deadline?
No no , just an admin error from my part. You are in. Who are you picking this week
Ooooh i get rid of my spurs pick and i go through, Happy dayss!
enough playing around though, i ll go with Man city this week
Seeing that you were eliminated last week I have given you Man City in week 1. So I will put you down for Tottenham in week 2 unless you get back to me before the deadline with another team
I will go for man city this round🟦
Manchester City 🌊
Manchester City my choice this week
@etiboy56 I did not see you in week 1 therefore you forfeit Man City for week 1. Another team selection is needed for week 2 that is not Man City. Who would you like?
Man City this week please
My entry for game week two is Tottenham
That is why I am unemployed, Blanchy!
Give me Citeh!
