Pack 36

Xabi Alonso – Liverpool: Half way line goal scoring machine.

Andre Ooijer – Blackburn Rovers: Sounds like a phrase from Carry On.

Hmmm this is the sort of thing I was hoping to see.

Here we have two packs pulled from the same box with 5 identical stickers. If it was two, three, or even four I could maybe pass it off as coincidence... five is really pushing it.

Especially with such distinctive stickers.

Stats
Six packs worth of stats to update. We are now standing at 192 stickers stuck - we'll be over the 200 next time. Even with the disastorous pack 37 the NPP has stayed above 5 at 5.19, with GPP at 0.81.

The projected completion date has risen to just over 100 again at 100.59.

Reading have had a storming few packs and are now storming ahead in the race to completion with 15 stickers stuck. That's a full 4 stickers ahead Arsenal, Blackburn, Chelsea and Boro who are all on 11.
