    I know you're only arguing because it's me, but seriously?

    So you think it's no harder predicting the results of the next 5 consecutive games than it is the next 1? Come on JB.

    Predicting the number of points from 5 games is not predicting the results of 5 games

  4. Nor is this thread about predicting (although I appreciate some are), its about anticipation / expectation.

    I'd already made that point myself, as some were predicting the results of each game individually

    p.s. thanks for yet more neg rep <doh>

    I would like an explanation as to how it's harder to predict 5 games than the next one - Tobes by result I presume we're still talking W/L/D.

    The variables come mostly in-game.

    Predicting the results of 5 is obviously harder than 1 ffs, as you're highly unlikely to get 5 predictions correct, hence the reason most peoples acca's go down the ****ter every week, as out of 5 'dead certs' there's invariably at least 1 that goes against the odds.

    Looking past the obvious for a minute ........ the 'skill' involved is no different!

    Just thought i'd bump this, we've got 8 points from this block so far, so we could get a total of 8,9 or 11 points from this block of 5 games, thats 7,8 or 10 more than last season.

    Are we happy with how we've done, performance against Birmingham teams aside?

    Merry Christmas to all and to all, **** off.

    11 points from 15 then. I'm pretty happy with that. We dropped silly points, could have been better, but would anybody not have taken 11 points at the start of the block?
