Will Neil score a hat-trick today on Countdown? I really hope not .

1st Numbers Alt: ((75 + 2 + 2) x 10) + 100 + 8

[Dinos Sfyris]

I had INDORSED in one round

[DaveC]

R4: PARTISAN, I find somehow easier to spot than ASPIRANT

Bit disappointed my INDORSED wasn't the max but there we go.

DC

[Peter Mabey]

STRIDDEN

What have you got against Neil, Joseph?

I think you're being a bit unfair...

What have you got against Neil, Joseph?

I think you're being a prick

Fixed that for you

[Dan Vanniasingham]

Because he plays football for a living that makes him the scum of the earth in Joseph's eyes (I'm sure he isn't usually so prejudiced...). Why he "bet his life" on Neil not winning 8 shows is beyond me - the last similar instance of stupidity I recall was when a Mr J O'Neill stated he'd eat his hat if England went on to win the Ashes in 2005.

I had Countmax open when watching today and there were beaters left right and centre - none spotted by me though! Both contestants seemed to struggle with the letters as the show wore on, so it could've been a case of DC holding back on a few words. Neil will have to raise his game to reach the series finals - but I reckon he's capable of doing it.

He's a professional footballer and I just despise football so much that I would love to see it abolished. To most, it may be a stupid reason as to why I would not like Neil to win, but to be fair, not everyone who appears on Countdown is going to be liked by everyone.

I do try to make friends with anyone and everyone I meet (online or in person), but what I have found out, is that most people actually don't want to know you if you aren't a fan of football and if you don't even drink or hang out at pubs too (well in Liverpool anyway) and therefore I seem to make alot of enemies quickly .

I know plenty of people who don't like football and yet none of them are as irritating as you. Why is that I wonder?

Maybe youse have more in common and youse go out clubbing/pub crawling now and then (which I would never do). They don't like football but maybe they like another sport that youse often hang out and play/watch. Also you could definitely have a joke and a laugh with them whereas I tend to take things way to seriously.

These are just suggestions.

[Joe Denniss]

AMBIENT as an equaller and HALOGEN as a beater.

[Matt Coates]

DC said HALOGEN, sorry

[Dinos Sfyris]

Another here for AMBIENT. Funny that HALOGEN should come up given IODINE and BROMINE make quite common appearances.
