Well I didn't like to blow my own trumpet, but thank you for your kind introduction.

If I don't win it's because I already won the Sports team Sheep (no idea how I managed that!) and so decided to go easy on you all for this one.

If I do win it's because I'm just clearly awesome.

Reberetta

Before we begin, a reminder of the rules:

I am looking for surnames and all sports are acceptable.

I have chosen two sports stars from a hat-one very well-known, one not so well-known generally.


1.If you have given me the very well-known sports star you will get minus points
E.G. if the well-known sports star is Mickey Mouse and you have answered Mickey Mouse for M and 9 other people give the name Mickey Mouse for M this will result in minus 10 points for all 10 who gave that answer!


2. If you have given me the lesser-known sports star you will get double the points of the sheep score of that letter
E.G. if the lesser-known sports star is Mickey Mouse and you have answered Mickey Mouse for M and the sheep score for M is 25 you will get a massive 50 points!

The two chosen sports stars will be revealed at the end of the game.


I had to do this manually so if I **** up please point it out and I will try to rectify and if I can't, well it's only the internet.:P

Also, if I go missing in the middle of the reveal, one of two things will have happened:

1. My internet connection has been lost.
2. I have popped out for pizza.

Either way, I'll be back eventually.

Reberetta

One more thing-there is a prize on offer! I will post a prize to an Irish/N.Irish address for an outright winner free of charge!

There are no incorrect answers in Sheep-can you pick the most popular one? Let's find out!

aaronjennings

I preemptively blame the fact it was 3.30am when I submitted my answers as the excuse for some of my choices

Reberetta

To start us off, did you choose



or



But one man's already seen the results!

Reberetta

A 13-way tie at the top of the leaderboard to start us off.

Okay, that one wasn't as bad as I feared

I’m hoping Keith keeps up the motorsport theme

Sheridan81 is early Liverpool with 3 sheeps. sKeith have sacked the manager and are looking at Roy Keane and Martin O Neill they're so desperate.

If anyone notices any mistakes with scoring let me know and I'll try to fix it. I had to add them up manually and my high school maths teacher made me cry so...:pac:

Mine are correct anyway

Has tusk realised yet that it's surnames or should we tell him :pac:

Not a bad one to get an ace on. This game could go to anybody still. Except tusk, he seems to have forgotten by the third letter that it’s surnames not forenames

tusk plays by his own rules. No matter how hard I tried to hammer home I wanted surnames in the original thread, he gives me David Luiz for D.

Reberetta

Will it be the eccentric?



Or the delicious?

Lucky for his first two guesses that Andre Agassi and Bavid Beckham both have alliterative names.

I wouldnt mind but Luiz isnt even his surname, it's a middle name..

C’mon Jess!
