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

More Premiership stuff, though maybe a little harder to predict this time around. Also as we're all off to Portugal this summer, I thought I'd give you a little taster of what lies ahead.

Birmingham v Leeds
Everton v Middlesborough
Blackburn v Portsmouth
Carlisle v Southend
Beira Mar v Benfica

Closing date, 12noon on Saturday 27th March.

Best of luck to you all

i wouldn't call Carlisle v Southend much of a taster

incidently, i hear on good sources that the Turkish fans/thugs are still heading for Portugal with the sole intent of meeting the English fans out there. they must really like us
i'm not worried though, it'll take a whole army to get me out of the bar

Paid my money, got my voucher for my final ticket if England get there. Unfortunately I have to send back my group game tickets, seeing as I have exams at the same time....

*cough* how many Group Game tickets do you have?

*cough* France and Switzerland *cough*

But unfortunately, looks like either my Uncle or younger Brother will have them...

oh well, Tapas for me it is

Well, you can leave my ass alone!

I'm particularly puzzled by what the purpose of including the Beira Mar v Benfica game this week might be, since according to http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/portugal_results/default.stm it took place last Sunday, and the teams aren't meeting again this weekend.

I am including a prediction below just in case they do have another encounter lined up and the BBC online football news compilers haven't noticed.

Birmingham 2-0 Leeds (Forssell)
Everton 1-0 Middlesbrough (Rooney)
Blackburn 1-0 Portsmouth (Flitcroft)
Carlisle 0-0 Southend
Beira Mar 0-1 Benfica (Simao)

B*gger!

I can tell you it didn't say that when I set the team selection back at the weekend. I guess the BBC got the fixture list wrong and have only just noticed.

Oh well, it's a 4-game weekend this week

Birmingham 1-1 Leeds (Viduka)
Everton 3-3 Middlesbrough (Rooney)
Blackburn 2-0 Portsmouth (Stead)
Carlisle 2-1 Southend (Duffield)
Beira Mar 0-1 Benfica (Gomes)

Birmingham 0 - 1 Leeds - Smith

Everton 1 - 2 Middlesboro - Maccarone

Blackburn 2 - 0 - Gallagher

Carlisle 1 - 0 Duffield

And - I'm having an input I feel - I feel - yes its.....

Beira Mar 0 - 1 Benfica - Gomes

Birmingham 1 Leeds 1 ( Viduka )

Everton 1 Middlesbrough 2 (junhino)

BlACKBURN 1 POMPY 1 (Jansen)


Carlisle 2 Southend 0 (Duuffield)

Birmingham 2 - Leeds 0 (Forssell)

Everton 0 - Middlesborough 2 (Maccarone)

Blackburn 2 - Portsmouth 0 (Cole)

Carlise 1 - Southend 0 (Duffield)

Beria Mar 1 - Benfica 2 (Simao)

Birmingham 1 v Leeds 1 Morrison
Everton 1 v Middlesborough 2 Maccarone
Blackburn 2 v Portsmouth 1 Yakubu
Carlisle 0 v Southend 2 Constantine

Can we deduct points from those who got the Portuguese result wrong despite it having already been played?
