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

With a glut of 0-0s, it's been a strong week for the league's defences. This week's winner is Psycorp, with 18 points, catapulting him into the top of the table position, somewhere he'll be completely unfamilair with. Drawing a blank this week are McKay and Demon Drawer, the latter's zero points leaving him rock bottom - a place that, as a Livingston fan, he'll feel right at home in. <biggrin<

Ouch!

Form is temporary, class is permanent. I think you'll find that DD and I occupied similar positions this time last year - and look what happened then.

I seem to remember I stayed there!

Yes, you finished bottom and third to last respectively. But again, as a Coventry fan, I would expect you to have grandiose expectations.

I prefer the term 'out of the relegation places,' which Coventry fans view as their right.

Actually, when I first when to Coventry games they were in the (old) 3rd division, and I supported tham as rose triumphally through the leagues - for me Coventry was about success

(Then I woke up)

Mid Table, joint eighth at this stage of the season, i.e. first game That'll do me

And if stupid Newcastle hadn't crumbled at the last I'd have had 12 points!

Correction : 14 points

Take that Master B's predictions! And take a bow Nigel Reo-Coker!

I sense this season is going to be somewhat competitive...

*maintains dignified silence*

Anyone see the cricket then?

No. Have England lost yet?

Not for a while, actually

About two weeks isn't it

You should really read my Ashes entry, GD, keep track of whats going on

I did read it, at least for tone, style and subject matter, and got a bit worried that it was sports reporting rather than EG stuff. But that's a different discussion.

I didn't bother taking in the facts in the entry as they 1) mean nothing to me and 2) I care even less.

Sorry. It's just not my sport

Ah, was only teasing, GD, you know that

I know that, but I was being serious.

Actually what I most impressed with here is the topic drift. I've seen loads of PR threads drift from the topic in hand to some other place entirely. But I've never seen one drift in the opposite direction before

Spot the Difference...

Master B - "heaven alone knows what persuaded Psy to buy Reo-Coker"

Football365.com - "And that Reo-Coker chap looks a fair player, doesn’t he?"

I know I'm milking it, but it's not often I'm proved right when Master B makes a statement in opposition to something I say or do...
