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

So this is it, the final week. The final chance to rise to the top, or to pull yourself out of ignominy from the bottom.

It's a double ration spread throughout the English leagues, so there are plenty of points on offer!


Arsenal v Spurs
Bolton v Birmingham
Fulham v Wigan
Reading v Sunderland
Crystal Palace v Plymouth
Sheffield Wednesday v Watford
Southampton v Preston
Leeds v Bristol Rovers
Nottingham Forest v Port Vale
Chester v Bury

Can everyone stop predicting 4 goal + bonanzas at Elland Road? I'm taking the girlfriend, and you lot of jinxes might just facilitate the sort of boring 0-0 that she'll hate.

You romantic! Fancy taking a girl to a Leeds game.

As long as she finds the aroma of meat pies, urine in bottles, and venomous idiocy attractive, I'm sure she'll have a great time.

Woo ~ my first full house of the season !

Hmmm, rats

If my maths is correct (hoping it's not , I've been pipped in the very last week, having been in the lead for 17 weeks. Dratted last minute goals have undone me for about 4 weeks running now.

Ha well, now I know how Ormy felt two seasons ago when I did the same to him.

Well played that man. A tough cookie to beat.

I do apologise Psy seeing I was at a bookened 5-2 defeat I think you exacted your revenge.

Although at the end when some of our won fans started chanting we want 6. I changed the chat to 6-5 we're gonna win 6-5. Nice bit of positivity.
