Sir! Sir! He's nicking my predictions again!

B

Oh, we appear to think that teams at the arse end of the league who couldn't score in a brothel won't score. Imagine that...

Arsenal 1 - 1 Liverpool (Adebayor)
Fulham 0 - 0 Sunderland
Newcastle 2 - 0 Reading (Martins)
West Brom 2 - 1 Portsmouth (Phillips
Southampton 2 - 0 Bristol City (Adebola)

Hmmm - This is going to be close...

Arsenal 2 v 1 Liverpool ~ Adebayor
Fulham 1 v 1 Sunderland ~ Jones
Newcastle 2 v 0 Reading ~ Owen
West Brom 3 v 2 Portsmouth ~ Phillips
Southampton 0 v 2 Bristol City ~ Adebola

Oh piddle!

Preview is my friend.


Obviously, given my scorer I meant;

Southampton 0 - 2 Bristol City (Adebola)

Slip of the finger...

Hmm... a couple of rulings for Mr Desk to make there, I think. Sorry, McKay, but West Brom v. Portsmouth kicked off about 15 minutes before you posted. Then again, GD was generous with me over a similar situation earlier this season, so perhaps he will be with you. There's still no score after nearly half an hour as I type, though, so it's going to have to get a lot more open for your score prediction to come true!

Oh - sorry about that - when I said it was going to be close I was basing it on the 12:45 GD mentioned in post 1.

Good point - GD got it wrong there, so you can blame him . It's 0-0 at half-time in that game, so you can hardly be accused of obtaining an unfair advantage.

I think it's safe to say that McKay is not gaining much of an advantage at present.

B

Is it too late to change that prediction ?
