Southampton v Aston Villa 2-1 Portsmouth v Accrington 2-1 Stoke v Man City late Watford v Norwich 1-3 Newcastle v Liverpool 0-4joker Wolfsburg v Borussia Dortmund 2-2 other predictions 1.Name any one player to score for their team in any of the above 6 fixtures=Sturridge 2.Bonus points - pick ONE game from the listed score prediction fixtures above and the total goals scored in that match will be added to your weekly/monthly total. =Newcastle v Liverpool 3. Predict teams from the following fixtures that will LOSE in the match they are playing. (Pick as many as you like - 2pts for each team correctly picked, BUT lose all these points if select an incorrect team) Might be too late for this. Sunderland. Villa. Bournemouth Stoke v Man City, Arsenal v Sunderland,Man Utd v West Ham, Southampton v Aston Villa, Swansea v Leicester, Watford v Norwich, West Brom v Tottenham, Chelsea v Bournemouth, Birmingham v Huddersfield, Bolton v Cardiff, Brentford v MK Dons, Brighton v Charlton, Bristol City v Blackburn, Burnley v Preston, Leeds v Hull, Nottm Forest v Fulham, Rotherham v Wolves, Newcastle v Liverpool, Sheff Wed v Derby
Come on Liverpool - score a goal tomorrow and I'll win a cup game! (to quote a friend of mine - it's my only chance of silverware this year) but still lose 7-1.
I don't think this has ever happened before.. I know you wouldn't have done this deliberately Chilco but I do need to take action. I think the right action would be to give shepherds clearing the amount of points from the team conceding the most goals from those listed. I don't know who that is yet as not had chance to catch up with todays happenings.
Another quandary for you. Celtic's game was postponed yesterday. What happens if you selected them? * doesn't matter as we both chose Celtic, but I'm losing and clutching at straws *
Last sentence in cup rules, any postponements are unlucky and a consolation of 1 goal is awarded. Sorry there were quite a few rules and Will have to add another if team for opponent not picked. Lol
I'm happy with that if Shepherd's Clearing is RAWMOK. As I said I'll happily concede defeat if it's easier.
I was only making my remarks tongue-in-cheek as I know this all a bit of fun anyway. Looking at the scores I think, unless Liverpool actually win 10-0 I'm through, but I'm happy with whatever RAWMOK says, I won't get beyond the quarter-finals [sound familiar]
in a week of surprises it is no surprise this was a low scoring week. Congratulations however to oddriveroakwizards who had a fantastic week picking up 17pts with 3 exact scores including the saints game and a correct goalscorer. Shepherds clearing also correctly predicted the exact saints score. The best bonus goals game was the wolfsburg game with 3 goals. There were no points gained again for question 3 with most teams predicted to lose did not, including villa, stoke, bournemouth, huddersfield and newcastle oddriveroakwizards has a great lead for the December league and this weeks performance also takes him up to joint top in the season table weekly table pos/team/pts
Second week on the trot I've got Saints score correct - I wonder if I should predict a win this weekend?
That sounds bad but the reason I do it is every time I felt confident about a game they'd lose and vice-versa, but it seems to have failed me recently so perhaps I am now oracle. I'll go and lie down now...
cup results There were some very close games again this week - just a quick reminder to rules/scoring.. Especially as we are coming up to that time of year any postponements are accounted for -you will score a consolation goal for a team involved in a postponed match - you can not pick a team for your opponent after the match has been postponed but it is allowed if you pick a team and then the match is later postponed. Please also do not edit original cup posts (you can league posts), if you want to make a change, create a new post. Also - new rule if you do not select a team for your opponent your opponent will be awarded the amount of goals scored by the best scoring team in the teams listed. Right on to this weeks games - anyone picking celtic or hearts who were postponed each score a point unless picked as team 1 where that point is doubled to 2.
