I've no problem with it being changed. I thought you were taking a bit of a gamble when I saw it
Thanks BW. I don't have the wotzits to gamble :D . I never see the Milan derby as home and away, regardless who gets the majority of the tickets.

But if Selby doesn't see this, or the rules don't allow it, fair enough. My bad. :thumbup:

No problem changing bet if both agree although it results in you both having £30 on the same bet.
Suggest KK alters his amount on this match slightly and alters one of his other bets accordingly if that makes sense.
Struggling for Internet for last couple of days as in mountain areas so as long as you both agree I'm happy.

Had a busy week both in and out of work so totally forgot to enter my 2nd leg bets. Looking at the results today I don't think I'd have caught Jon anyway. Apologies to Michk for missing this, I know you put a lot of work into organising this.

Good luck Jon :thumbup:

What a shame Davy, my second leg picks were dreadful. I would've been a close run thing.

Christ I was lucky there. I needed a 95th minute equaliser to scrape through

Thought I had you with the Palace match, BW :x

Well played though, you called it correctly, regardless of when the goal went in :thumbup:
