Blimey notDistant you were up late doing this.

 

No something woke me up and I wanted an early start this morning. Easier to get back to sleep when you don’t have a list of things to do.

When I was working, I kept a notebook and pen in the bedside drawer so I could do a brain dump if things were running through my mind. Works like a charm.

Perhaps we should start a “Weird Dreams” thread. I once lent Wayne Rooney my umbrella. On another, I accidentally became President of the United States.

 

.....or I stood on Tommy Trinder's foot in the crush outside Craven Cottage when Man U were visiting.

Oh no....that wasn't a dream...it actually happened.

 

The best match forecast score went to Sensible with 13. Eight of his 12 forecasts yielded at least one point, a level of general accuracy which just beat Plym's 12 from only 3 scoring games, comprising a 6 and 2 threes.

Sensible also scooped the goal time with a forecast of 26 versus the actual time of 24.



Sensible moved up one place to third in the table at the expense of Joe and Plym's 12 points took him to top spot ahead of Away in BC.



The next round starts on Tuesday night and continues into Wednesday.

The Super Match will be Sheffield Wednesday (24th, 6 points) v Leicester City (1st, 42 points). Surely that will be all about how many Leicester win by (won't it?) and so we'll also have the Goal Total Challenge. As always, you don't have to calculate your total, I do that every week, but you can if you want. Lately, I've been showing the goal totals on every Results Summary (see above), so you can use those as reference points if you wish.

Wow you are early!

 

Only two days to go.....heap the pressure on BC.....he's not used to being second.


I was looking through the GoS Sunderland pictures.....ok we know that Plymouth has a 94% white population (2021 census)....but I was surprised that I could only find one young lad who seemed to be of mixed race.....don't they follow football down there even though some of Argyles star players are black ?

Do they follow Rugby instead....or Baseball/Ice Hockey/Speedway/Swimming.....I find it intriguing.....are they all down the Bingo ?

 

There’s a young (school age ) lad c/w dreadlocks who comes with his white mate and sits three seats to our right and also a teenage black girl who comes with her mate and sits somewhere to our right.

Nice to see I think and very welcome they are.

 

It’s not so mono-cultural here as you might think.

Next door to us is a bloke who is living with a TURKISH woman and her daughter. They’re actually all moving to Turkey shortly and we’ve been invited in because my other half bought them flowers after the earthquake in their home country. He’s one of those layabouts who call themselves lawyers

Worse, we have a mixed nationality couple at the top of the road. He’s ITALIAN and she’s SPANISH. As you may expect, they both scrounge off the British taxpayer by working at the university!

 

Do we have to have a race item on every thread now just to try to prove a point? Give it a feckin rest.

No we don't....we're not talking derogatory about race......just the unusual situation of over 16,000 fans in a stadium and it looks as if 99.9% are white....and that seemed to include the Sunderland fans as well.....yet black players are well represented in most league club teams.....why aren't they represented on the terraces......why are they turned off from football terraces.

It is possible to talk about such things without being racial.....although it does seem difficult for you to see it any other way....maybe you need to ask yourself why it is a taboo subject for you.

 

Given your track record it isn't hard to see a motive at all. What exact point are you trying to make with this Plymouth is white stuff? What relevance does it have to a prediction thread? What relevance does it have to anything apart from you trying to push your figures to prove some silly point which I have to say I can't see. There are 92 league grounds in England mostly with a couple in Wales. How many black faces do the rest have? Perhaps you can make it your life's work to research it. When you have you can post a thesis on it and come to a reasoning for even bothering to look in the first place and how if affects anything at all. Oh hang on maybe the GOS photographer is a racist and air brushed the black ones out just for a laugh. Like I've said this is a prediction thread with no reason to post this stuff on it.

 

Now now Boys ...get a grip..
Where i live about 2hrs from Vancouver we have the Native Indians..
They are just part of the city..no problem at all..except for the drunken ones...
Oops im not suppose to say that ..

 

Wow I'm glad I didn't say that....but you'll be ok BC.

 

am I racist, fk yeh to any white black bown yellow green red as wipe who gives me cra p
