gioblues still leads the table, with a seven point gap between him and Resurgam. grumpygit plummets down the table from 2nd to 4th as brb smashes a nine out of the boundary and leaves grumpy stumped for words, with even Patchy now chasing after grumpygit's tail. Pegleg closes the gap between him and allbluelenny, while itstimupnorth is left drifting mid-table. Finally geoffthegills has gone missing in action the last two games, and is out like a duck as if up against alwaysright at a shooting range...

Thanks brb giving everyone a chance to beat me.
Not really much point doing it in the early rounds if everyone can win on last match

 

I'm sure you will win and good luck. It's difficult to keep the formula for the whole competition unlike the prediction league as it can become a one horse race and people would lose interest. Hence i mix it up to keep activity on the forum and interest in our little game.

Obviously I'm open to suggestions of an improved formula for next season and take your point onboard

 

1. Man City to win
2. 1-0 at half-time
3. 3-1 at full time
4. 31 minutes for the first goal
5. One penalty in the game
6. No sending offs in the game
7. 5 bookings in the game

 

1. Man city to win.
2. 0-0 at half time.
3. 2-0 to City at full time.
4. 51 minutes for first goal.
5. No penalties.
6. No sending offs.
7. 4 Bookings in the game.

 

1. Man City to win
2. MCY 0-1 WAT at HT
3. MCY 3-1 WAT at FT
4. 19 mins for first goal

brb finishing above me in second place.

I demand a recount.

Well done to gioblues.

and brb.

 

Best bit mate, you was quite close with the time of the first goal being scored, which would have got you an additional five points. Shame you never got them to be fair, i would have beat you by just ONE point then, so close, yet so far

 

Even with brb trying best to stop me.
