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...

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...

      Two School Places Available at St Dunstan’s College (Ages 4 & 6)

      By nor · Posted

      Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

      Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

      Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      By taliax7 · Posted

      Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
