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...

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!

      But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
