Thank you, that will be all.

Now, now, Egon.

It really isn't nice to gloat over others' misfortune at all. It isn't even slightly wonderful that the all-conquering Super Reds look like finishing not first, not even second, but third. Now is it?

That nice Mr Ferguson must be *so* disappointed!

You know, there's a German word for what we're doing.

SCHADENFREUDE- taking pleasure in others misfortune

Oh, and everyone gets three bonus points for their ipswich predictions.

Oh, and GD, if you want I can just ignore the Norwich to win bit, and count it as a 0-0 draw, but you wouldn't get doouble points as you wouldn't have picked a winner.

BTW, if Norwich beat Birmingham 2-1, first goal McVeigh, Ormy wins the title.

If Norwich beat Birmingham 5-1, first goal Stern John, I tie with Otto for the title.

ANY OTHER RESULT, OTTO WINS!

No I'm quite happy with my selection. Norwich to win nil nil
