Should we say congratulations to Bluemike now? We have the situation that if he puts forward a caption for each of the pictures below, AND Nicscreamer scores maximum of 10, Mike is champion. So the question is, will Mike post answers for both?! Haha! :lol:
Well, hopefully everyone has a go on the final week of the 2017/18 DON CUP competition. Scores and final table next week along with Caption of the Year.

READING SCORES

Congratulations Mike. Runner up two years in a row..... Makes me a bit like Ipswich in the early 80s... which isn't such a bad thing I suppose ;-)

Caption 1. Gazza see's the funny side of wearing Jimmy Five Bellies Shirt by mistake so he hid his own Five Bellies in the shirt and his One brain cell in his shorts.

Caption 2. "Call me a f*****g Mackem again and I'll buy you a ST to watch Sunderland under MM next season as a punishment"

Caption of the year.

Finally got the results through on the email and top 3 are as follows:

THIRD PLACE

Image

NUMBER 9

“I can't believe he just called me the C-word. I need a few minutes to catch my breath."

———————————————————————————————————————————

SECOND PLACE

Image

BLUEBLOOD

“20 Years I worked in the steel factory and only 3 times I missed the blade handle. Look.”

———————————————————————————————————————————

And the winner: FIRST PLACE

Image

BLUEMIKE

Marcus Evans magic book didnt work. This wasn't the bigger c*ck he craved"

:lol: Still getting a giggle that one. According to the judges, took ages to trawl through ALL of the caption answers, and it was close, ....., but we think first place was decided after that Forest game itself. Having an immense dislike for War-Fanny amongst the predominantly Hibee judges did help! :D

Really don’t know what would happen if he became Town boss. I like to think I’m very impartial when it comes to important views on Ipswich Town......, but I’d become an intolerable negative b*stard if he gets the job. Ipswich would need to be gunning for top TWO, (not 6) before giving him the benefit of the doubt.

If there is a God up there......... NOOOOOO!

Another awesome season of captions, it’s been a pleasure to be part of it. Adding humour to any situation has always been my goal in life, (thanks for that, Dad) and adding humour to the horrible “Mick out” season that you guys have just endured has been very enjoyable. Let’s hope we can all laugh at jokes AND be happy with the football next season.

First of all, commiserations to Nicscreamer. Two years in a row as runner up. That is a tough one to take. But PLEASE, keep on taking part. The scoring is based on a group of scores, and you scored “5” in my book in a lot of those weeks.

Two future potential winners of this prize, based on scores, and amount of times they take part, are Number 9 & Tangfastic. Very limited in their participation, but statistically big scorers. 9 certainly is on my dry humour wavelength.

And so to our Champion for 2017/18. Taking controversial to its very limit at times, and being absolutely hilarious with it most weeks, BLUEMIKE
Very well done indeed buddy. Your form can only be that you posted so much more than previous seasons and it’s been great. Again very well done. Your name will be engraved, and a pic will be posted just prior to kick off next season.


Final weeks pics

GAZZA
Bluemike 5pts
Nicscreamer 4pts
Watership Down 3pts
Ando 2pts

PIC TWO

Many thanks for running the competition Marko, it's been good fun when things have been difficult for the club. Also bad luck to Nic, runner up twice, surely the one to beat next season too.

Being named after the much missed Don makes it a real honour to get my name on the trophy, really pleased about that tbh. The target now has to be first person to win it twice !!!!

:lol: Looks like it’d be between you and Blueblood, with poor Nicsreamer being 3rd.

But hey, Nics....... you’ll accept that eh? You wouldn’t want runner up for the 3rd time? :lol:
