Ok, I'll stay 3-1 Newcastle for that game but change first scorer to Yakubu

Page turner:

Games are:

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

GreyDesk's rule, however, was no changes; only clearing up ambiguity.

I am unhappy about the rule applying to people who can't follow a major sporting event.

I can appreciate your point, but I've made a decision which I'm going to stick by. Its another case when I suppose it might have been an idea to draw up a list of rules before is started this season, but I couldn't find a hard and fast set of rules.

I'm looking for volunteers to take over from me at the moment, so maybe whoever does decide to take over for the next season will be able to issue some rules from the outset.

>I am unhappy about the rule applying to people who can't follow a major sporting event.<

What like the FA cup? At least I worked out what fixtures were on

I actually kind of agree I shouldn't get a change so I won't

My decision is based on the precedent of post 11 in this thread, and several later in the season: http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/classic/F76327?thread=143955

Oh go on then, Leon Best

Just posting to get this thread back above the incorrectly titled one on people's conversation lists.

Just posting to remind myself to do this later

Birmingham 1 v 1 Wolves (Hunt)
Newcastle 1 v 1 Blackburn (Cabaye)
Fleetwood 0 v 2 Blackpool (Taylor-Fletcher)
Cowdenbeath 1 v 1 Hibernian (Coult)
Man City 2 v 1 Man Utd (Aguero)

Birmingham v Wolves 1-2 (Fletcher)
Newcastle v Blackburn 2-0 (Best)
Fleetwood v Blackpool 0-4 (LuaLua)
Cowdenbeath v Hibernian 0-2 (O'Connor)
Man City v Man Utd 2-1 (Aguero)

(and even though it's not being asked, Arsenal 4-1 Leeds (Henry) )

Rumour has it that Henry won't be played, sadly.

Otherwise I'd more than happy to watch him grind Leeds into dust.

Don't forget the Cup is all that Arsenal have left this season.

Birmingham 0 v 1 Wolves ~(Eggert Johnson)
Newcastle 2 v 0 Blackburn ~ (Best)
Fleetwood 1 v 3 Blackpool ~ (LuaLua)
Cowdenbeath 1 v 0 Hibernian ~ (Cameron)
Man City 0 v 1 Man Utd ~(Giggs)

Tempting though it is to pick my own matches I'll abide by what I think the rules are.

Blimey, with Rooney scoring first today, I seem to finally be having a decent week. Shame it's rather too late.

I could do with Giggs getting a late one.

Birmingham 0-0 Wolves (Full house for me. Woop)
Newcastle 2-1 Balckburn (BEN ARFA, Goodwillie, Guttierez)
Fleetwood 1-5 Blackpool (LUA LUA, Phillips, Ince, Vardy)
Cowden 2-3 Hibs (STEWART, Griffiths, Doyle, Wotherspoon, Robertson)
Man City 2-3 Man Utd (ROONEY, Welbeck, Kolarov, Aguero)

How many weeks are left?

I'm not sure if this helps anyone but I feel it only fair to point out that David Goodwillie scored the first goal in the Newcastle-Blackburn match, not Hatem Ben Arfa

Two more weeks.

I don't think anyone guessed Ben arfa or goodwillie, but I'll look back to check.
