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

Last week of Season 21, an end date I settled on to get this finished before I disappear on holiday to New York ( a week on Friday, as you ask). Your host for season 22 will be Yakus, after he kindly volunteered to replace me.

Alfredo And 603 are tied at the top, eleven points clear of this place. Third and seventh are separated by just 4 points, and I'm useless. You can see the table in the Week Twelve thread, and I will update the main page eventually.

Anyway, enough with the preamble, on to the fixtures:


Wolves v Aston Villa
Man City v Tottenham
Arsenal v Man Utd
West Ham v Nottingham Forest
Southport v Luton

Deadline 2pm Saturday

Good luck everyone.

Right. I'll show my hand first, shall I?

Wolves 1-1 Aston Villa (Bent)
Man City 3-2 Tottenham (Aguero)
Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd (van Persie)
West Ham 2-0 Nottingham Forest (Nolan)
Southport 0-3 Luton (Amari Morgan-Smith)

Now watch, as Alfredo makes far more accurate predictions, and I finish second on the final day for the second time in my Fantasy Football career...

In that case I'll show my backside.

Wolves 0 v 1 Aston Villa ~ Agbonlahor
Man City 2 v 1 Tottenham ~ Aguero
Arsenal 1 v 0 Man Utd ~ Van Persie
West Ham 3 v 0 Nottingham Forest ~ Carew
Southport 0 v 1 Luton ~ McAllister

Here's my attempt to get that cherished third place then.

Wolves 1 v 1 Aston Villa (Bent)
Man City 2 v 1 Tottenham (Aguero)
Arsenal 1 v 1 Man Utd (Van Persie)
West Ham 3 v 0 Nottingham Forest (Noble)
Southport 1 v 2 Luton (O'Connor)

As egon says, I will attempting to run the next FF season, if you'll have me that is. I'll aim to start the weekend after the FA cup if thats ok with everyone.

By the way. Does the winner still get a mouse-mat or is just a matter of honour these days.

I didn't get a mouse-mat last time - but then Greydesk did abandon it in the final week.
I did get one the time before though.

I'm sure there must be some merchandise somewhere. I'll ask at the meet.

B

Wolves v Aston Villa 1-0 (Steven Fletcher)

Man City v Tottenham 2-0 (Edin Dzeko)

Arsenal v Man Utd 1-0 (van Persie)

West Ham v Nottingham Forest 2-0 (Carlton Cole)

Southport v Luton 0-3 (Morgan-Smith)

You definitely coming to Manchester then B?

I'm at about 80% yes at the minute. I shall expect a day-long introduction to relevant beer-drinking establishments.

B

Pastey's your man for that. Given that I'll be in Leeds during the day

The only piece of h2g2 merchandise I own is a mug, and I don't think either of the contenders would want that, stained with eight years of coffee and herbal tea.

Wolves 3-1 Aston Villa (Fletcher)
Man City 2-1 Tottenham (Aguero)
Arsenal 2-2 Man Utd (V Persie)
West Ham 4-1  Nottingham Forest (Noble)
Southport 0-1 Luton (Kissock)

Ok, here goes

Wolves 1-2 Aston Villa (Bent)
Man City 3-1 Tottenham (Aguero)
Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd (van Persie)
West Ham 3-0 Nottingham Forest (Nolan)
Southport 1-3 Luton (Amari Morgan-Smith)

So, the season could hinge on Wolves getting a home win against Villa...

Wolves 0-0 Aston Villa
Man City 1-1 Tottenham (vdVaart)
Arsenal 0-3 Man Utd (Nani)
West Ham 3-1 Nottingham Forest (Noble)
Southport 1-2 Luton (Kovacs)

B

Wolves 0 Aston Villa 2 (Bent)
Man City 2 Tottenham 1 (Balotelli)
Arsenal 1 Man Utd 2 (Rooney)
West Ham 2 Nottingham Forest 0 (Cole)
Southport 1 Luton 2 (Morgan-Smith)

In the title challenge, 603 got 5 Pts today (Bent 1st scorer, west Ham exact score), to Alfredo's 6 (Bent 1st scorer, Villa and West Ham results), giving Alfredo a 1 point lead going into the last day of the season.

So I need a full house on Citeh vs Tottingham... Damnit.

By my calculations, we're now guaranteed to tie at the top. Do we have a tie breaker or share it?

3-2! Three bloody two! Correct score and result!

I think that puts me and Alfredo level, with exactly the same prediction for the Manyoo game.
