S7M13: It's Happened Again (not that one)

The average odds for a 10 match accumulator in Season 1 of Impossibilitee were around 3000/1. With an average of 25 players per week, that's 950 bets a year. Except it's not 'cos often a gameweek isn't included but bear with me. We're 6 1/3 seasons in, so that's a little over 6000 opportunities, so we'd expect 2 maximums in this time period, which is exactly what we had - with 2 on the same week a few years ago (FT, ECI).

Well, we're now ahead of the curve. Sam Ruback's previous life highlight was arguably seeing Alex Song's Range Rover. Well no more amigos, time for a change to that twitter bio...

(I was tempted to use a gif of a certain German playmaker enjoying a brew but didn't want anyone to be upset by it...)

It makes me so proud watching y'all spread your wings and improve. Average weekly score of 6.84 with 25 players. Pretty damn good folks. Give yourselves all a round of applause (Nacho style).

The weekend kicked off with a cracker of a Derby at the Emirates. The footballing karma equalised itself at the earliest opportunity, with Arsenal deserving the win, but benefiting from a mistake from the officials. Callum Wilson showed his touch hadn't deserted him during his injury layoff, burying Huddersfield. Burnley & Man City continued their good form, as did Chelsea & Watford. Pogba inspired Man Utd on his return from injury, whilst Salah et al destroyed a blunt Southampton. Dodgy reffing reared its head on the South coast, denying Brighton a penalty in their draw with Stoke, whilst Everton also drew with Palace, Niasse getting both goals, along with a now confirmed history-making 2 match ban for diving. Stupid rule that, as previously discussed.
