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

Taking up Egon's excellent suggestion of doing a list of Terry Phelan's old clubs means we have double rations this week. A total of 10 games to make your selections for.

PLEASE NOTE - The Spurs game is played on Good Friday.

Therefore the closing date for all selections is 3pm FRIDAY 18th April.


Southampton v Leeds
Leyton Orient v Swansea
Stoke City v Wimbledon
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City
Aston Villa v Chelsea
Everton v Liverpool
Crystal Palace v Rotherham United
Fulham v Newcastle
Preston v Sheffield United
Charleston Battery v Richmond Kickers

(That last lot are a bunch of Americans. You can find their website here - http://www.charlestonbattery.com/welcome.asp)

Richmond Kickers, eh? Their manager took over at Hull in my last game of CM4...

btw - It's Battery away to Kickers (Americans put their sports fixtures in the wrong order)

Preston 1-2 Sheffield United (Skora - great name for a striker, I always thought)...
Charleston Battery 0-1 Richmond Kickers (Jeffrey)

B

Is it the other way around? Oh, well fair-dos. Typical American behaviour. Next they'll be wanting ad breaks in the middle of each half and time outs and corners counting as half a goal and the like

And I agree Skora is a cracking name for a striker. And he probably will score against the Blades as well. We never get anything out of games against Preston, not ever

5-0 Egon?

Sucking up to GD a bit, aren't we?

Trying to get your ownership rights back?

B

Well he's obviously never looked at the stats on away games at Preston. A right elephant's graveyard for us that place is

It's 10 games since we last won there - 7 losses & 3 draws. And this last win was in 1955!

Southampton 1 Leeds 1 (Beattie)
Leyton Orient 1 Swansea 0 (Thorpe)
Stoke City 2 Wimbledon 1 (Shipperly)
Tottenham Hotspur 0 Manchester City 0 (-)

Fulham 0 Newcastle 3 (Shearer)
Preston 0 Sheffield United 2 (Brown)
Charleston Battery 1 Richmond Kickers 1 (Conway)

Hmmm... I think that this will be the last time I decide to pick 10 games for week's competition. It's been a right fag sorting all the scores out

Anyway, enough of my moaning and on with the results and stuff...

Southampton 3-2 Leeds (ORMEROD, Beattie, Svensson, Kewell, Barmby)

The Points:

Master B - 3 points (Stoke scorer, Everton scorer & 1st scorer)

Egon - 4 points (Southampton & Stoke scorer, Charleston result)

Sprout - 5 points (Orient scorer, Fulham scorer & 1st scorer)

GreyDesk - 7 points (Southampton result & scorer, Fulham scorer & 1st scorer, Preston result)

Ormondroyd - 9 points (Southapton scorer, Orient, Stoke & Preston result, Fulham scorer & 1st scorer)

Tonto - 11 points (Southampton scorer, Spurs result & score, Palace full house , Fulham scorer & 1st scorer)

Uncle Heavy - 6 points (Southampton result & scorer, Stoke scorer, Charleston result)

Robin - 9 points (Southampton result & scorer, Stoke scorer, Everton full house )

Otto Fisch - 9 points (Southampton scorer, Orient result, Stoke result, score & scorer, Fulham scorer & 1st scorer)


Which makes Tonto our weekly winner on 11 points

I'm particularly impressed that Tonto saw the Spurs result coming.

As soon as I saw that, I was resigned to a weekend of improbable results.

B

Yes you're right, it was one those weeks

I was up and around after midnight last night, and I realised that that Charleston game was available on a webcast, so I listened in. Very bizarre - the commentator was some British bloke who was getting awfully excited by the 'action', yet all I could hear of the crowd noise was the slight patter of applause every now and again.

Then there was the fun of the half time adverts - apparently as a Battery fan I can get all sorts of offers at downtown Charleston pizza joints and General Motors dealers
