Yep, according to Countdown Wiki at least.

There's a metal border around them both now.

75/25+6=9
9*50=450
450-1=449

That's exactly how I did it!

Looks Like Liverpool'll Nab Carlos. (I don't think they will actually, but Man City wouldn't fit!)

Why does Susie have backup but not Rachel?

Steve Durney

It was good when it first started because no-one knew what it was like or what would happen. Nowadays it's more of a show people go on in the hope getting famous. Completely agree. Plus they didn't do all the stupid shit they do now like depriving them of hot water and food. It was actually a fairl...

Is MOTIONER (R3) not allowed?

Steve Durney

I'm strangely not at all bothered about this final. :? Which epitomises the mood around top-end football these days. Let's be honest, anything involving the 'Big 4' has become tedious, I'm more interested in who comes 5th, 17th, or whether Leeds stay down :D No, i think it's more because it was two...

Cup Final predos anyone? I'm going for Chelsea, 1-0. Can't see it being a goal-fest. Hope I'm wrong of course. A nice punch-up would do me nicely. :D The 2nd half has started now and the last time i looked it was 1-1. Think Chelsea will probably edge it 2 or 3-1 now. I'm strangely not at all bother...

Do you wish you'd waited a year or two, or are you glad you went on when you did?

Steve Durney

Rigged was obviously a wrong word to use (I'm tired!) just think it's ridiculous that some Countries are always gonna vote for their mates regardless. Makes a mockery of the competition IMO.

Steve Durney

I'm glad Terry Wogan has left because he was a bad commentator, making fun of all the songs. Terry Wogan did that because the competition is so obviously rigged where countries vote for their friends rather than whether it's a decent song or not! I never really watched the songs, just the results, ...

I was hoping Phillip would get fired as he's basically an arrogant bully but I thought he might stay on just for the TV value. Glad he got the boot!

Steve Durney

Well, clearly Mr Beevers, you are not going to change your mind! I've never bothered that much about awards, but when so many people who make their living from the game are all saying the same thing, you have to take notice. Why do you think there is so much hype about him and that it's untrue? For ...

[quote][/quote]He scored that many because, I'll repeat it in nice big letters for you, he was the focus of *every* attack . Funny how Arsenal is the only side where he's looked good and even then his scoring record is exaggerated by all the times he filled his boots against relegation fodder - I st...

Since when did Henry play for Liverpool, and Gerrard for Arsenal?

I wish Gerrard did play for Arsenal!

Steve Durney

An Arsenal fan who thinks Henry is great. :oops: Just because he moved to Barcelona doesnt undo all that he done for us. The unbeaten season would never have happened without Henry. Quite simply the greatest player in Arsenal's history, backed up by a poll on the club's website AFTER he'd left.

Thierry Henry (the Shaun Murphy of football) What the hell? He's nowhere near as fat, and I love him. I'd say he's the smuggest cunt in the world of sport. Cannot believe I left out Jeremy Kyle. In fact I'll leave him out a la Beevers at COC, just to give the others a chance. Thierry Henry is a leg...

Steve Durney

This is from memory so will not be 100% accurate but Murphy played a match against Stephen Maguire in the Grand Prix (?) circa 2004. Both players entered the arena, only for Maguire to realise he had left his chalk in the dressing room. As Maguire left to retrieve it, Murphy championed the referee ...

Why?

Steve Durney

Whats the problem with Shaun Murphy? I don't particularly follow Snooker, but know who's who, and was surprised to hear that he kept getting booed. Doesn't appear to be a Naseem Hamed type to me. Is he an arrogant boaster or something?

Brilliant. I think I'm almost enjoying this more than CoC XIII. Well done Kirk. Two records in three games - not bad going. I was gobsmacked when Ben had "courters" disallowed. What are people who go out courting called then? Dylan Thomas uses it in the first sentence of Under Milk Wood ,...

We seem to be better suited to teams that want to try and beat us, hence they come forward and attack, rather than have 10 players camped in their own six yard box like most teams do that come to the Emirates. I don't blame the smaller teams for this tactic, just cant understand why, with the quali...

Liverpool and Arsenal are going to be also-rans in the league for the foreseeable future. Arsenal are just a shop window for mercenaries. The good 'uns move onto somewhere better, as mercenaries do.

Is there not a seedings system in place then? I always assumed that the top players (based on performances in qualifying to get on the show) were kept apart, much like in tennis.
