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

I'm bored of the Premiership. So I'm going to focus everything this week on the league that no one wants to win: The Championship


Barnsley v Leicester
Wolves v Ipswich
Sheffield Utd v Hull
Stoke v Bristol City
Watford v Crystal Palace


All predictions to be in by 3pm on Saturday the whatever the date this Saturday is.

And I'm acutely aware that by selecting a Sheffield United game in the list that I have just jinxed the slim mathematical chance that they had of making it into the play-offs for this year

I'll try and get some predictions in this week...possibly

Oh - do I get points for being first ?

Barnsley 1 v 0 Leicester - Foster
Wolves 1 v 1 Ipswich - Ebanks-Blake
Sheffield Utd 1 v 1 Hull - Windass
Stoke 0 v 1 Bristol City - Adebola
Watford 1 v 1 Crystal Palace - Morrison

NO you get to get laughed at for not researching properly when you pick someone to score who's suspended or injured

And then us who follow get this knowledge without having to bother

PS. I've no idea whether this is true in this case. It's just what often happens as far as I can tell

Barnsley 2 Leicester 1 Brian Howard
Wolves 3 Ipswich 2 Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
Sheffield Utd 0 Hull 2 Frazier Campbell
Stoke 2 Bristol City 1 Ricardo Fuller
Watford 1 Crystal Palace 2 Clinton Morrison

Barnsley v Leicester 1-1 (Ferenczi)

Wolves v Ipswich 2-1 (Ebanks-Blake)

Sheffield Utd v Hull 1-2 (Windass)**

Stoke v Bristol City 2-1 (Cresswell)

>>1971 was Hull's last win in this fixture.<<

Well I can't say I wasn't warned

Well, I've got at least one point in three of the four games that've been played so far. Not too bad I guess.

I have zero points in each of those four.

B

One fulll house and a scorer I think.

Barnsley 0-1 Leicester (Hume)
Wolves 1-1 Ipswich (Ebanks-Blake, Miller)
Sheffield Utd 2-0 Hull (Quinn, Beattie)
Stoke 2-1 Bristol City (Sibide, Adebola)
Watford 0-2 Crystal Palace (Ifill, Moses)

A good week for the top of the table. The three leaders landed the top three highest points this week! (Not that that was very high, weighing in at only 8 points, but nevertheless...)

There was a well played full house for McKay. But sadly that was pretty much all he did this week.

And as for the table, the only move was Psycorp overhauling B for a better position in mid-table mediocrity.

So well done riotact and Orcus on your 8 points and we'll move on to the next list
