Spoilers for The Deeks-Day Landing (Thursday 21st July 2011)

[Matt Morrison]

Hello everyone. Today is a very special day for Mark Deeks.
Today he will surely become an octochamp and the only outcome worth speculating is whether he'll score a score scorey enough to overtake Graeme Cole as #x seed.

By the way, has anyone else been trying to construct a Marc Meakin / Mark's Deeking joke and not quite managed it? (I'm mainly looking at you here, Corby)

[James Robinson]

the only outcome worth speculating is whether he'll score a score scorey enough to overtake Graeme Cole as #x seed.

Just to remind you all, he needs 116 to become the #1 seed, which will be tricky, considering that his highest score to date is 114.

He only need 102 to join the 800 club, though.

[Tony Atkins]

BIFACE in R2.

[Gavin Chipper]

BIFACE and PIGFACE in the round where they only got five. I'm a proper spoiler thread geek (or deek) now.

[Gavin Chipper]

(25*5-1)*7 as an alternative in round 10. Yeah!

[Ryan Taylor]

The 116 is looking pretty realistic at the moment.

Edit: Reached it with ease. Great performance today saving the best until last. Great run and the finals are taking shape quite nicely already early on. Good luck for them!

[Karen Pearson]

HEIRLOOM in Rd 12

[Ryan Taylor]

LMFAO at your reaction and fist pumping at the end. Mental.

[Jojo Apollo]

Well done, Mark, on becoming an octochamp and done with good humour throughout.

[James Robinson]

GALIOTS in round 8, FLOREAT and LEVATOR in round 9 and TOPMEN in round 13 (which I thought I made up )

Very impressive again, Mark. A very good octochamp, these finals are definitely shaping up nicely now.

[Brian Moore]

Really enjoyed the run - congratulations to Mark. Lesley went from looking cross once she started to lose rounds, to a look of resignation, once she realised she didn't have a hope against the Deekstroyer.

Oh, and GAMENESS in the MESSAGED round, I think.

[Graeme Cole]

Congratulations Mark, a great run, especially that last game. A thoroughly deserved #1 spot.

I'll have to hope that if we meet in the finals you haven't got any better at 6 small.

[Steve Balog]

I actually got up early enough to catch the 2nd half of the stream of this game -- but then FF wouldn't load the streaming utility correctly, and IE8 crashed my computer, so I only got to see about half a round of this game.

I was Deeksappoint

But congrats, and seeing how you managed a 116+, excellent game. I'll have to catch the recap when it's put up.

[Richard Priest]

Well done, great run, enjoyed it

[Edward McCullagh]

Fantastic stuff Deeks, finals hotting up nicely now.

[Tracey Lilly]

Well done Mark - I enjoyed your run and sense of humour.
See you again in Dec for the finals.

[Mark James]

Well done Mark - I enjoyed your run and sense of humour.
See you again in Dec for the finals.

I'm sure Ant will have something to say about that.

[Mike Brown]

Thanks for spoiling the fact that Mark wins his first seven games by having a specific (but admittedly amusing) thread title.

EDIT: I'm sure it wasn't deliberate, but felt I ought to make the point, nevertheless.
