Cox scores goals

[Rich Pullen]

That is how I roll.

This boy just don't give a fuck.

It could have been worse Barry, you could have done what I did and make every single bet for the season (excepting the Cox one) into a double with "Hull relegated" as the secondary bet.

During my darker hours I give some serious thought to knee-capping Geovanni.

Okay, yours is worse, but that's with hindsight of course. Pre-season that would have been a fair shout. Anyway, you ain't seen some of my gems.

Swindon to win the league - £5 stake £215 if we win.

Town to be promoted - £26.39 staked to win £219

Mk Dongs to be promoted - £5 stake, win £26 if they do. (Why did i bet on those cunts? And at WANK odds. I hate myself for backing those plastic pricks. Hopefully all my other bets will fail and i'll be praying for dons to go up, then they'll fuck it as i cursed them.)

Leicester or Leeds to not be promoted (Yes i know, another super stupid bet) £8 staked £18 to win. (Seriously, what am i on? This is why i don't gamble!)

I am pleased for you all.

Here are some interesting stats.

Leading goal scorer by season (league goals only):

2007/08 - Simon Cox: 15 goals, Billy Paynter: 8 goals
2006/07 - Lee Peacock, Christian Roberts: 10 goals
2005/06 - Rory Fallon: 12, Jamie Cureton: 7
2004/05 - Sam Parkin: 23, Grant Smith: 10
2003/04 - Sam Parkin: 20, Tommy Mooney: 19
2002/03 - Sam Parkin: 25, Andy Gurney: 8
2001/02 - Giuliano Grazioli: 8, Andy Gurney, Danny Invincibile: 6
2000/01 - Danny Invincibile: 9, Gary Alexander: 7
1999/00 - Chris Hay: 10, Giuliano Grazioli: 8
1998/99 - Iffy Onuora: 20, George Ndah: 12

All off the top of my head of course.

 Doing off the top of your head might explain why you've credited SSP with 20 league golas in 03/04 when he only scored 19.

I refer to my signature below...

Oh and 40-1...

Out of interest what happens to your bets on Cox if he get's sold in January to a championship club  - do you lose your money ?

Yep, as his final league one goal tally would be the amount he'd scored when he left us for the Championship. (unless nobody beats it...  )

[Luci]

Id like to think that the business acumen of Fitton and co would ensure he wasn't going anywhere until the end of the season - seeing how important his goals have proven so far.  Alternatively if he goes, I'd rather he went elsewhere in league 1 so my bet still stands

[Simon Pieman]

What position is he in the top scorers table?

[michael]

Joint 4th with 7 league goals. Lambert on 9, Beckford and Mackail-Smith on 8.

Joint 4th gets me money.

[leefer]

He will be top Michael if he stays fit.
