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

A bit late (well very late actually), and a bit rushed. Though I do rather like the games that I've picked from League One. I think that they could be tricky ones to predict


Aston Villa v Portsmouth
Middlesbrough v Birmingham
West Ham v Everton
Bristol City v Nottingham Forest
Colchester v Southend


All predictions to be in by lunchtime on Saturday, 4th March.

(All marking will be done a darn sight earlier than the following Wednesday... )

What the following Tuesday?

Hi GD
Could Week 10 be a Peter Osgood tribute week? He was my hero as a kid and I am really upset by his death. You could have Chelsea, Southampton, Norwich (brief loan spell), Workington (first team scored against) and Middlesborough (last team scored against).
Whatever you decide I would just say RIP Ossie you legend.
Osgood is good Osgood is good!!

Is The official FA website told me that Freddy Eastwood was suspended this week.

You do some research that makes you change your picks and... bah humbug!

Well everyone knows the FA doesn't know it's a**e from it's national team manager

True enough

Actually I just checked again and it says he's suspension ends today I think I must have interpreted that as he doesn't play today. Lesson learnt.

And owlatron gets the following for his PP stuff:

Aston Villa 2-0 Portsmouth
Middlesbrough 1-1 Birmingham
West Ham 0-0 Everton
Bristol City 1-0 Nottingham Forest
Colchester 0-1 Southend

With no additional scorer points.

Humph. Why do the Pools Panel always score better than me?

B

Because you're rubbish
