    Huh? I've been told that this GIF fail type post means you're triggered by something.

    Last year a draw only scored 1pt unless you actually had score correct when it was 5.
    This year a draw prediction, but with incorrect score, is scored the same as a correct result with correct goal difference but incorrect score (i.e. 2pts).

    I see. I don't see why correctly predicting a draw should get you more points than any other correct result without correct score tbh.

    But we'll see what happens.

    Just stating facts mate. Was at the top / near almost the entire season that year. Thought I’d have a sabbatical

    I laughed because none of you have or ever will win the league and cup double like I did.

    Get this young pretender told Tash :D

    You'd think a former champ would be a bit more streetwise!

    Yeah don't help anyone... the people that forget to change will still probably score the same points or more than us.

    Because a draw is the correct result and correct goal difference. Also that perennial moaner @InBiscanWeTrust argued it should be two points last season so thought we would give it a go.

    Fair enough. It just feels like there's a greater chance of undeserved success with a draw because all draws are essentially the same without correct score.

    But other results involve greater variety of scores, so correct goal difference is harder to acquire.

    Draws are notoriously harder to predict though. Just ask the pools coupon.
