    He’s predicting 0-0 so there’s no goal to predict.

    I hereby issue an executive order to the effect that where no goals are predicted in an Argyle match, the competitor may still take part in the First Goal Time competition.

    Yes it’s illogical but it’s fair.

    Yes it's fair....but very brave.....it means you could be biting your finger nails for up to a 100mins.

    Maybe his Swansea game is 20 something.....which would also be very brave.....maybe a 20-20 draw ?.

    In the absence of a clarification. I’ll take that as 2-0 rather than 20-20!

    Oh what a shame.....20-20 would have been much better.....imagine the row of ambulances required to sort out the many heart attacks that could have happened.

    There are interesting predictions for Preston v Leeds. It is one at a quick glance you'd assume Leeds would win but in fact, they've won only 1 of their last 6 away games while Preston have lost only one of their last 6 homes.

    We've all gone for a Middlesbrough home win but in fact both teams in that one have won two of their last three.

    The balance of opinion is for Burnley to get at least a draw at Norwich but they both have two wins from the last three, Norwich have been very high scoring but below average defensively. Burnley have an identical away scoring record to Portsmouth and Luton but the best defensive record in the division, conceding at half the rate of the next best teams. You could see a scenario there where Norwich get one early on and Burnley can't reply. We'll see.....

    Jokers are spread around. Musty and SMH are on Sheffield United to win and that is the objective verdict. Still, worms do turn but whether that's before we get a few back from injury remains to be seen. Three Hail-Marys from those of a Green persuasion before bed tonight please.

    Blackburn get two jokers also. Not a single point for Luton from their last 6 aways says it all. I've already pontificated on Norwich v Burnley: could go either way I think.

    As Lyndhurst will be otherwise engaged, I've put a random goal time in for him.

    Well, Musty will be hopping with joy with a magnificent 45 points.

    upload_2024-12-15_22-2-44.png

    Like several, he got 7 results out of 12 but did better on getting the scores right. He also got the goal time spot on at 19 minutes. This tremendous performance doesn't lift him far owing to his desire to go off to tropical idylls, but then, who wouldn't? I think I can say without fear of contradiction (anything to say Sensible?) that even allowing for double points, that's the best result ever.

    Biggest mover in the Top 8 pop pickers was ...er me. I wouldn't worry, it'll never last. Plym extended his lead at the top with 30 points while Lyndhurst slipped back after his good results in past weeks. Just like Argyle then.
