Indeedy, in hindsight it should've only been worth 3 pts.

SC, if someone forgets to post their predictions (illness/holiday etc) they get an automatic 5 pts score. It was meant as an incentive for those who did miss a week or two to keep on playing i.e. they didn't fall too far behind and give up. It also meant late comers could join in and still have a half decent chance.

At the time it was introduced it was a score that was just below the average weekly score, the intention being that there wouldn't be a benefit for gamesmanship i.e. deliberately not making predictions (last weekend being an exception).

It was given the nickname maxxi because that was maxxi's average score at the time.

If we do this again next season the maxxi will be revisited, it might even get abolished if we have a good turn out on the opening weekend...

Yes you are - we are replaying after getting 1 pt ea. - and as I am going to differ in my choice of victor in the second game there'll be a result this time...

Chelsea 2 v Man Utd 3

Damn! Should have forgotten to do it this week. 1 point from guessing as opposed to 5 from Maxxi-ing!!

It's the fourth and final set of Champions League games this week.

Late Late Latecomers still have a good chance to qualify for the knock-out stage...



Tuesday 12th March 2013


Barcelona V AC Milan

(agg 0-2)


Schalke 04 V Galatasaray

(agg 1-1)



Wednesday 13th March 2013


Bayern Munich V Arsenal

(agg 3-1)


Malaga V FC Porto

(agg 0-1)



For the quarter final draw there are no numbered balls, so the 8 teams that qualify will be placed alphabetically and given the numbers 1-8 e.g. AC Milan = No. 1...Schalke No. 8. The top 8 players will then be allocated their corresponding team, e.g. 1st = AC Milan...8th = Schalke. So if in the actual CL draw, Milan play Schalke, the player who finished top will go head to head with the player who finished eighth, and so on...

If you get matched by the maxxi its always hard to take. Some people take it like a man.

You were knocked out of the FA Cup RC.

Nevermind, you came top in the League last week, and should qualify from the Champions League unless you do a Man Utd and get the 2nd half wobbles...

      Stephen Viccary - Bathroom installation

      By Ergo_mark · Posted

      Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
