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

I forgot the FF prefix when i posted week 11's fixtures, so im reposting them properly labelled.

Birmingham v Wolves
Newcastle v Stoke
Fleetwood v Blackpool
Cowdenbeath v Hibernian
Man City v Man Utd

Deadline Saturday, Noon.

Does this mean we can make two sets of predictions?

B

Only if they're both the same as each Other.

Birmingham 0-0 Wolves
Newcastle 2-0 Stoke (Cabaye)
Fleetwood 1-3 Blackpool (Lua Lua)

Cowdenbeath 2-2 Hibernian (Cameron)
Man City 4-1 Man Utd (Aguero)

Birmingham 1-0 Wolves (Beausejour)
Newcastle 0-0 Stoke
Fleetwood 1-2 Blackpool (Ince)
Cowdenbeath 1-4 Hibernian (O'Connor)
Man City 1-2 Man Utd (Berbatov)

B

Martin Keown has picked Fleetwood as his giantkillers, so I think it's safe to say that Blackpool are safe.

I quite fancy Shrewsbury to have a pop at Middlesbrough myself.

B

The pessimist in me has a feeling about Tamworth

You should make this a bonus-point side-game.

B

Am I being a complete div or are Stoke playing Gillingham in the Cup this weekend?

And Newcastle v. Stoke in the Premier league isn't until 21st April..

Egon, you blithering tit.

B

Shows how much research you did

...and possibly why you're beating my by a goodly number of points of course

Ok, make that

Newcastle v Blackburn.

My 2-0 prediction stands

So, to clarify, the fixtures are actually:

Birmingham v Wolves
Newcastle v Blackburn
Fleetwood v Blackpool
Cowdenbeath v Hibernian
Man City v Man Utd

Birmingham v Wolves 2-1 (Marlon King)
Newcastle v Blackburn 3-1 (Ba)
Fleetwood v Blackpool 1-4 (Lua Lua)
Cowdenbeath v Hibernian 0-2 (O'Connor)
Man City v Man Utd 2-2 (Rooney)

Birmingham 1-0 Wolves (Beausejour)
Newcastle 0-0 Blackburn, not Stoke
Fleetwood 1-2 Blackpool (Ince)
Cowdenbeath 1-4 Hibernian (O'Connor)
Man City 1-2 Man Utd (Berbatov)

Orcus, you know all this 'research' you did?

Shame it didn't include the Senegal squad for the African Cup of Nations.

B

I noticed that as well, but was too embarrassed about my own mistake to say anything.

Birmingham v Wolves 2-3 (Marlon King)
Newcastle v Blackburn 3-1 (Ba)
Fleetwood v Blackpool 1-3 (Phillips)
Cowdenbeath v Hibernian 1-3 (O'Connor)
Man City v Man Utd 4-2 (Silva)

I've checked the very first season of FF, and people changing their first scorer prediction seemed very common then, especially by me, so I think I See a precedent that you can change a predicted goal scorer, as long as you do so before the original deadline. So if B is right about Demba Ba being unavailable this weekend, you may change your predicted scorer any time up until noon on Saturday.
