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

Here goes...

Everton v Man Utd
Chelsea v Arsenal
Sunderland v Aston Villa
Celtic v Hibernian
Leeds v Cardiff

A reminder of the rules:
Predict a score and a goal scorer, eg Man City 1-6 Man Utd (Aguero)
2 points for getting correct result (home win, away win or draw), 1 point for correct score, 1 point if your nominated goal scorer scores, and another if he scores the opening goal. So, the above example would get four points out if a possible five, for result, score and scorer, but not the fifth as Aguero didn't score first.

A correct prediction of 0-0 wouldl get all five points.

The deadline is 12 noon on Saturrday the 29th, as that is the kickoff time of the earliest match, the Everton-Man U game.

Let the predictions commence.

Go on, then. I'll kick this one off.

I'm quite intrigued as to why Psycorp thinks Cardiff is a worse place to live than Leeds...

B

I never said it was. Both, however, are far inferior to the delights of Greater Manchester.

That's an oxymoron if ever I heard one.

I always wonder which bit admits to being Lesser..
