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

Well after a pleasant kick about at Vicarage Road, where the Away Blades were more interested in singing their hearts out and chucking beach balls and an inflatable around the crowd, than anything that was happening on the pitch I am now in a position to post the six games for the 1st leg of the Football League play offs...


Nottingham Forest v Sheffield United
Wolves v Reading

Oldham Athletic v Queens Park Rangers
Cardiff City v Bristol City

Bury v Bournemouth
Lincoln City v Scunthorpe United


And the best of luck to all, apart from Nottingham of course

Oh and I forgot to say, closing date 12noon Saturday 10th May

You don't believe in play-offs being tightly-contested games, then, Egon?

B

Not when he's been on Unc's silly pills again, no

Although, having said that, it's not quite as daft as predicting the result of the second leg before the first leg's been played.

Which makes me the winner for this round

Congratulations, your deskness!

11 points for you and a pretty good result for them Blades too!

I was right that one team would score five in scunthorpe/lincoln though!

* Adds zero to four and doesn't get five *


Really? How was that?

Arse! Bastard Imps have only averaged a goal a game for the entire season, and now they see fit to slot 5 past us!

Gits...

B

*looks at predictiuons again*

Oh arse, i look silly now don't I? Well, I knew I'd predicted someone, somewhere to score 5
