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

I think that the story of this week is one of faith. Faith that the impossible can happen if you believe enough. So stand up Owlatron, you're the only person to get any points out of the Sheffield Wednesday match

We've got a couple of scoring full houses, which is a thing that I always like. And as I've got one of them, I like them even more

At the top of the table, it's closer than ever. Ormy is now top in his own right, but only by a point; and Orcus and riotact are breathing down his neck. This will go to the wire, I'm sure.

Anyway to the winner. Well done Bottletop, you've hit ten points (including a full house) and are the only one to get into double figures this week with a sweet 10 points

-----------

The Results:

Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Preston (BURTON, O'Brien)

Coventry 1-1 Leeds (McSHEFFREY, Healy)

Doncaster 1-2 Nottingham Forest (COMMONS, Holt, Coppinger)

Arsenal 3-0 Charlton (PIRES, Adebayor, Hleb)

Millwall 0-1 Leicester (HUGHES)

Ufff, Gnat's chuffs and all that.

So what was the connection between the matches then?

My internet went down for two days

Obviously there wasn't a connection and we were all being played for fools.

B

The connection? Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Millwall (but Leicester are also in there) are the teams most disliked by Sheffield United fans.

That's not a real connection. They're just the teams most disliked by you.

B

No that's not the case at all. The Millwall one is actually quite difficult for me as it's one of the family teams. I occasionally go to Millwall home games.

Also if it was my list of hated teams, Portsmouth and MK Dons would feature highly in it.

bottletop!

well being a wednesday fan i had faith lol

Doesn't everybody hate the MK Dons though?

Ironically, espectially Wimbledon fans

I had an appointment with a new dentist today. We got chatting about just before he got to work on my , and he told me that he was a Sheffield Wednesday fan. I wondered whether GreyDesk would have leapt out of the chair and at that news!

Anyway, he performed a very painless extraction, and warned me not to jump around too much if Bradford score a lot of goals against Blackpool tonight. Not too much danger of that, I fear...

He's a dentist; therefore I wouldn't be in the same room as him.

If however I had no choice because the pain in the tooth had become too intolerable to bear; and I knew that he was a Wednesday fan; then I wouldn't feel too guilty about smacking him one for coming near me with one of those wizzy-drilly things.
