Robin - sorry you didn't get any scorers


Spook - You already chose England to beat Liechtenstein 3-0 with Owen scoring first, and the 'big computer' has picked the following for your remaining four matches:

Romania 5-3 Denmark
Scotland 3-0 Iceland
Wales 0-2 Azerbaijan
Croatia 1-1 Belgium

and no scorers.

sweet i would have got about that many right anyway.

Another high scoring week this week (apart from me it seems ). Looking at the table there have been quite a few changes in the mid sections, but I detect a certain gap appearing at the top as two head off into the distance - which as a Blade looks worryingly familiar.

Anyway, the results, scores, points and all that jazz...

As ever, please check your own scores as I do make the odd mistake around here.


The table will be updated shortly.

My scores are correct - your proof-reading's terrible, however

Good old Craig Bellamy. If you were going to have bet on anyone scoring in the first mintue.

B

So which bits are wrong then?

Well, you've spelt "Liechtenstein" wrong.

Yes, I suppose that's true. Bloody stupid country

I've got to say, the performance yesterday by England is making me wonder whether my ticket for Wednesday night could be the biggest waste of £35 I've ever made...

It was pretty dire wasn't it. There were definite moments when I thought my prediction of a Liechtenstein score would materialise.

As for Wednesday, well if you've lost confidence, you could always try off loading the ticket at your neighbourhood kebab shop. As I'm sure the proprietors will be up for it

Nah, the bloke who runs our Kebab shops Iranian.

i was rooting for lichtenstein to score and give me a full house
