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

This week you can have yourself an extra day of thinking time to make your score selections. Instead of it all being a terrible rush on a Friday evening, you'll have all day on Saturday to work out what you're going to do, as this week's list are all played on Sunday


Man City v Middlesbrough
West Ham v Charlton
Carlisle v Swansea [LDV Vans Trophy Final @ Cardiff]
Dundee Utd v Rangers
Hibernian v Hearts [Scottish Cup Semi-Final]


All selections to be in by 12noon on SUNDAY, 2nd April.

One thing we should perhaps clarify early: for the cup games, are we predicting the score at 90 minutes, or do goals in extra time count?

As with all competitions based upon match predictions: it is the score after 90 minutes that counts.

I'll never forget my poor old Grandad who had a bet that Argentina would beat Holland 3-1 in the '78 World Cup, and didn't get paid because that scoreline happened in extra time.

As he said at the time, "So Argentina won the match one-all then."

Looking at the League One fixture list, it's quite disappointing that you didn't find the opportunity to pit two old Fantasy Football rivals together.

I have my ticket, B, and I am quietly confident.

1-1 is my prediction

Hmm...'bollocks' is, I think, the appropriate word.

Despite the humliation of being rolled over by the Bantams, I did enjoy the last little bit of commentary on BBC Score just now.

"Helguson could have come on late and scored two...but he didn't"

B

B, I think your fans made a fatal mistake by chanting 'Deano, Deano, what's the score?' at Mr. Windass late in the first half. He duly signalled back '1-2', and then did a lot to change that scoreline.

Man City 1-0 Middlesbrough (Samaras)
West Ham 3-1 Charlton (Harewood)
Carlisle 0-2 Swansea (Knight)
Dundee Utd 0-1 Rangers (Boyd)
Hibernian 2-2 Hearts (O'Connor)
