Spoilers For Thursday March 4th 2010

[James Robinson]

Right, after getting some long deserved beauty sleep, it's now back to the business of Countdown.

Raheel has now become a half-octochamp, but can he maintain his good form and reach the dizzy heights of octochampdom, or like the Egyptian football team last night, be buried with the Pharoahs

Yesterday's recap should be up before today's show, hopefully.

3rd numbers: ((10 x 3 x 2) - 2) x 4

[Andy Wilson]

Shakeel was quite unlucky, declaring GRATED and WHALES when beaten by GRANTED and WHALERS. Raheel seemed to be on a mission to lose the game early on though. Great comeback from the small fella though. Good game lads.
