h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am now designating the rest of this season as the 'be nice to Psycorp' season. To this end there will be no more Leeds games included in any of the weekly lists, unless that team start to pull it round a bit and there appears to be a reasonable chance of them winning a match. I feel that it is unfair to expect a player, if they wish to remain competitive in this competition, to have to predict the demise of their own team. So there.

This of course all means that we need a new target to pik on... Hello Master B How's your faith in the Irons at the moment?


Crystal Palace v Leicester
Colchester v Coventry
Scunthorpe v Nottingham Forest
Blackpool v Brighton
Boston United v Bristol Rovers


All predictions to be in by 'late lunchtime' on Saturday, 10th March.

You'll be sorry when they win on Saturday. Although I think 1-1 is a more reasonable prediction.

B

Notice he wasn't picking on me. But then that's simple home game go for away win. Away game go for away win. So there isn't much skill or luck involved at present.

What about Phantasy ProPhorty?

B

Erm. It's been pointed out that I posted the aforesaid to the wrong thread. Whoopsie!

B

Good to see even B in joining in with the get at him theme there.

and thank god this wasn't a CL week... i can't take being picked on...

What sort of berating chants etc from any Liverpool, Chelsea, Valencia and Roma fan's amongst us.

BTW

'We're still in the Cup and you're no!'

as far as roma fans go, i help mod a very international football forum and i can tell you they are pure class.

any guesses on the worst nation(s) and worst clubs for seriously getting up everyone's nostrils?

Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester (Morrison)
Colchester 0-1 Coventry (McKenzie)
Scunthorpe 3-1 Nottingham Forest (Sharp)
Blackpool 2-0 Brighton (Burgess)
Boston United 0-0 Bristol Rovers

I'd suggest English, and Liverpool fans. Then again, I hate Liverpudlians anyway. Comes from my upbringing.

Crystal Palace v Leicester 2-2 (Clinton Morrisson)

Colchester v Coventry 1-0 (Jamie Cureton)
(Good pick - a real toughie formwise )

Scunthorpe v Nottingham Forest 3-1 (Billy Sharp)

Blackpool v Brighton 2-1 (Andy Morrell)

Boston United v Bristol Rovers 0-1 (Richard Walker)

Oh Psy and there was me not going to guess Leeds United fans.

Mind you I'm not English so I guess the Irish are pretty amenable as are the country I currently live in Scotland.

Worst fans must be the Turks and Galatasray in particular.

Crystal Palace 1 v 0 Leicester ~ Morrison
Colchester 0 v 2 Coventry ~ Doyle
Scunthorpe 2 v 1 Nottingham Forest ~ Grant Holt
Blackpool 2 v 0 Brighton ~ Morrell
Boston United 0 v 2 Bristol Rovers ~ Walker

Good call McKay, I'd forgotten about them... and DD, most of our fans (and our captain) have deserted us, so there's not really enough Leeds fans left to form an opinion about!

Sounds familiar Pys. We used to be able to draw 6,000 per game in teh SPL. Now we struggle to break 2,000.

Crystal Palace 2 Leicester 1 Clinton Morrison
Colchester 3 Coventry 1 Chris Iwelumo
Scunthorpe 2 Nottingham Forest 0 Billy Sharp
Blackpool 1 Brighton 0 Wes Hoolahan (Here’s hoping this isn’t another week when all our loaned out and former players score winners and the ones we have left don’t)
Boston United 0 Bristol Rovers 2 Richard Walker

Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester (Cort)
Colchester 0-0 Coventry
Scunthorpe 1-1 Nottingham Forest (Taylor)
Blackpool 2-0 Brighton (Morrell)
Boston United 1-3 Bristol Rovers (Haldane)

B

the worst fans are the americans. specifically those who support MU.

but you have to consider this: everyone's posting in english, so you're already weeding out the worst elements from other cultures. nothing broadens one like learning a foreign language.

and that's why the hegemony of the english language in today's world is more to the detriment of the "anglo-saxons" than anyone else.

mind you, all present company is explicitly exempted, and not through mere politeness... the vsc is on a different sphere entirely, bien entendu.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester (Clinton Morrisson)
Colchester 1-1 Coventry (Chris Iwelumo)
Scunthorpe 2-1 Nottingham Forest (Jermaine Beckford)

Colchester 0-1 Coventry (Dele Abebola)
Scunthorpe 1-0 Nottingham Forest (Billy Sharp)
