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

Now that some IT techie has gone and fed the hamster, and the site is back running smoothly again. I've updated the table.

An interesting thing is immediately obvious from it. Ormy and Bottletop have EXACTLY the same scoring pattern for W/L/D, correct score bonuses, scorers and correct scorer bonus points. The thing dividing them is the four bonus points that Ormy has won for connections and the like.

Ahem - "The other story is that posting identical results for all 5 matches is a really dumb thing to do if you're trying to achieve a big points score "

Can I just point out that had the games ended 5 minutes earlier I'd have had 3 correct scores, but Wolves and Wednesday both scored in this period - also it took an own goal for Brighton to score else that'd have been 0 - 0 which would have been another point.

it's time to throw in the towel, i suppose. now i have to put my last hopes in the "who will win?" cup. so go ormy!, i picked you to win FF there.

McK, if it's any consolation, consider how i felt when pauleta of all people scored in the last 30 seconds of extra time to beat nantes and turn my 0-0 FH into a goose egg... all season long he's been doing an imitation of a linguica sandwich and he turns into eusebio just when i needed it least (as if i ever need anything from PSG besides beating marseille...)

Humph! Don't talk to me about what might have been had the game finished five minutes earlier. I'm a Sheffield United fan, and we dropped 4 places in the last few minutes of the 1993/94 season as Chelsea scored twice against us, and other results started to go against us. We've been in this second tier of football ever since

GD,,,,wanna tissue pal ??,,,,,,,,The WEDNESDAYS on the way up,,,,,,,!!!!!!!,,,,,Then we'll see who's top dog,,,,,,,,errrrm,rememeber owls goin down 1990,,,,,we were playin football under Atkinson,but still went down(OUCH),,,,,its strange how EVERY season the last games in divisions ALWAYS churns up DO or DIE games !!!!!,

No, you're in play-offs. You've won b*gger all yet.

Now take a long last look at your fingernails, and kiss those 10 babies goodbye!

how great it must be to have some excitement for the end of the season!

11 points clear with 4 to play... someone wake me up when they get to city hall... after 4 years, this is getting old...

Well it was a fun day at Cov on Saturday for the last game at Highfield Road, be interesting to see what Hull (and I've never been to Hull) - who have a few bob, can do next season.

Oooh...Hull v Coventry. There's a glamour tie...

B

Ah. Of course for you they're the big club up the road aren't they ?

Yes, but at least we afford that status over Grimsby, Doncaster and Lincoln.

And Gainsborough FC think the Iron are massive!

B

Exeter City think of us as some sort of Cornish version of Real Madrid

Although they're wrong in both counts, as we are:
a) geographically east of the River Tamar
and
b) have no particular history of fascism at the club

c) Not renowned for your transfer budget

B

S'truth.

*idly wonders if Florentino Perez has a daughter*

For some reason - which locally we ascribe to insanity - Wolves fans insist upon referring to Wolverhampton Wanderers as "The Biggest Club in the country."

To be fair to Wolves, they are in percentage attendance terms one of the biggest clubs in the Championship. Their average attendance in this season just passed was at 91% occupancy. (Only Brighton at 92% surpasses them.)

Now, if one factors out the seats blocked off to keep crowd segregation, and away areas not necessarily sold out. Then I would argue that that means that areas filled with Wolves fans were probably pretty much full to the brim.
