Friends in fútbol,
We damn near made Wolves a Majority Pick in Survivor.
(Louder for the people in the back!) WOLVES!!
Yes, they're playing Sheffield, which might be the EPL's worst club this year. But a bunch of you COULD have fled to safety on the likes of City (vs. Bournemouth) or Liverpool (at Luton Town) and chose to ride with Wolves instead.
BRB Commish needs a tissue.
COMMISH COMMENTARY
Having only 2 clubs above a 90% pick rate in the Pick'em - and only 3 above 80% - is a rare occurrence.
That means we expect a lot of close fútbol matches.
Is that also why 99% of us picked Liverpool to win at Luton Town? Because it felt like one of the ONLY "safe" bets on the board?
Luton Town has been spicy of late!
The only match we completely avoided in Survivor was Chelsea-Spurs. Commish feels ACCOMPLISHED today.
If you think you know what's gonna happen in each Chelsea match, you are either Miss Cleo or you're wrong or both.
Shout-out to our lone Burnley picker (vs. Palace), our TWO Everton pickers (vs. Brighton), and our lone Arsenal picker who apparently feels a road match at Newcastle is the PROPER time to pick the Gunners.
YOUR BEST COMMENTS
@edudeus (EPL Pick'em): "Tot spurs are on top. How?"
Commish says: Is "Top Tot" a song somewhere in England? No? Why the hell not?!
@Ickey_Woods_Shuffle (EPL Pick'em): "What do bees, spurs and man-buns have in common?
A. They are all extremely annoying when you come in contact.
B. All are native 'pollinators' and generally have 'keepers'.
C. They are the only home teams to win in EPL this week.
D. All the above."
Commish says: OK I lol'd at the notion of a manbun being a "native pollinator".
@Noteldar (Villa): "Villans or Villains?"
Commish says: Spell check? Spell check?! WE CAN ASK CHATBOTS TO PREDICT ENTIRE EPL SZNs NOW, NOTELDAR.
@bowser48 (EPL Pick'em): "Slowly but surely, I’ll be in the top 100. Woohoo!"
Commish says: When you get there, please wave down to Commish, OK?
Yours in show dives,
The Commish
