riotact....HAPPY BIRTHDAY (meisere)

Well happy birthday to you then

And don't worry, there is still plenty of time to catch up with the leaders. All the fixtures, bar three in week 17, have been worked out and ready to go. The season will come to a climax in week 18 with the now traditional 'double helpings' of 10 games

At least Shearer scored to keep me off a duck egg.

The LIb Dems do not believe in fixing football matches, we believe in liberty of result. In fact we intend to introduce proportional representation of results to give the result that football supporters genuinely desire therefore the Anybody But United or Aresnal fans should get to see a more balanced picture at the top of the premier league.

An update on the head to head tie breaks

DD v Ormy 6-5-2
DD v Bottletop 7-3-3
dd v riotact 6-6-1

ORMY v Bottletop 7-4-2
ORMY v Riotact 8-4-1

Bottletop v RIOTACT 5-6-2

McKay's shocking performance means he is no longer in close contention so his tie break options are less relevant.

Just a question, GD - if your predicted goalscorer scores an own goal, do you still get the scorer points?

I can't for the life of me remember what we usually do for own goals.

Nobody predicted Haywood of Halesowen Town as first scorer, but being as he scored it in his own net, if anyone had, would they have still got the points? Or had them deducted? Or what?

I'm baffled...

Own goals definitely count
