My two favorite teams: Chelsea and anyone who beats Arsenal. Two of my favorite teams played last Saturday, Chelsea and Bolton (who is a favorite this season since they had beaten Arsenal). Chelsea won the league in style going away as a result of a hard fought 2-0 triumph at Bolton's Reebok stadium.
This league triumph is the first for Chelsea since I started supporting the team and yes, the first in my lifetime. Hopefully I will see many more such successes.
Auldfartte is a tough act to follow, given that I am not a gold coin collector. The four prizes to be given away are as follows:
1907 6d, certified AU 55 by NGC. It takes a good eyepiece to see the wear. NIce bright coin.
10 p collection: 1969, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1979 and 1980 in AU or better condition. The 1977 is a circulation piece struck on a proof blank!
5 p collection: 1968, 1969, 1971, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1991 and 1992 in AU condition or better (except the 1991).
BU decimal bronze collection: 1ps dated 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1998 and 2000 (the 2000 is toned). 2p dated 1971 and ½ps dated 1971 and 1974.
I like whitelignin's giveaway idea. 1st prize gets to choose first, 2nd prize gets to choose second, and so on.
Here's what you do: Post to enter, explaining why you should be selected as a winner. Even Arsenal fans are eligible. My daughter will draw the names.

Edit:
My daughter is busier than I am, so I had to do the drawing via random number generator (I used a uniform distribution for you statistics geeks out there).
The winners are:
1. whitelighnin
2. maccrimmon
3. drjules
4. madmarty
Congratulations to the winners and thanks for playing!!
By the way, Chelsea whupped Manchester United this week at Old Trafford 3-1. That means they swept them in league play and went 3-1-0 overall (that's W-D-L and not W-L-T).

Lets just say, decimal bronze coins in BU, ones i think i were actually supposed to be buying off of you a few months back but that got sidelined due to so much work and commitments. Therefore i'm entering because i need some BU bronze!
(Please ensure i get picked anywhere but first place cos i do not want the sixpence as it's slabbed).
OK. BTW I hope Beckham does join Arsenal!!
If you win first prize, you choose what you want to win.

Phew! I didn't want to get stuck with something entombed... i'd feel dirty having to actually touch the plastic... unclean thoughts i must be punished.
I guess this year proves that coin collecting and football are alike - If you are willing to spend "crazy money" you can buy whatever prize you want!

P.S I don't actually support any team cos i never really liked the game.
The rest of my family support Sheffield Wednesday, except for my grandmother who supports Man U. Although i'm always joyous at the though of Wednesday losing to Barnsley.
GO Chelsea!
I should win because I play soccer and our team is named the "bulldogs"
I forgot. My dog is a English Setter too!

I've supported Chelsea for 35 years and have had to put up with Arsenal fans gloating all during that time. That's why my favorite team this Monday will be West Brom.

I'll just have to be content knowing that Chelsea won two trophies this year and that Arsenal will probably win none!
