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

I've got a full house and a correct scoreline already.

I must confess I haven't looked at the Big Cup scores yet. I'm still busy gazing lovingly at the one from the New Den

I've just noticed a remarkable similarity between my predictions and Riotact's.

I don't look at other people's predictions when posting, but they are very very similar - so aplogies Riotact - looks like I've jinxed your scores this week.

it's called "great minds think alike".

Me too. And to make matters worse, Master B has got a full house from the Panathinaikos match.

Zilch so far too

This shouldn't affect the top of the league too much though as it seems the high flyers are grounded so far...

There was me, quietly working my way through the marking. No one was getting anything very much in the way of points, when up stepped Master B (or whatever stupid anagram he's using at the moment) with a full 10 points.

Blimey! thought I. Master B might actually win this week

But right at the end, along came Demon Drawer and saved the day with 11 points - YAY!!! - including the only points anyone got on the Munich v Juventus game.

I was just compiling this myself as was waiting for the fanfare. 24 hours is far too long to wait for the

I had an excellent Tuesday, but let myself down. If only I'd realised that Artmedia were every bit as bad a team as Glasgow Rangers I might have had another full house.

Well it was a week of two halves wasn't it

Thanks god for Wednesday I say

Week of two halves!!!


No I was pretty consistant through out only failing to pick up points in one match.

Well, its coming down to the wire, and to my amazement I'm still in with a chance. However there's a worrying DD in my rear view mirror with designs on the mousemat that I desperately need as my last one was left in Australia!! Its mine I tell you... mine!!!

My problem is next week's Falkirk game I know what I want the result to be but I also know what realistically the result might be. Oh the delimma of being behind one of the teams in question and stuck in the relgation spot IRL.

I generally predict a Scunthorpe defeat on this game, on the basis that I might as well be satisfied either way.

The last time I predicted an Iron victory, we went down 4-1 to Doncaster.

Hey GD, I had Drogba to score first so should have had four points. I just don't want to be bottom again.

Don't worry about being bottom pal, I'm here now

Sorry Yakus. I've spotted the error, and I'll update the table shortly.
