I could always check the predictions to see if that scenario would happen, and then ask for new predictions, otherwise it's toss of a coin time I'm afraid. I've lost out on the chance of a 1999 Treble due to a coin toss, so I would feel your pain. What would you and the other 3 semi-finalists prefer?...

A man after I my own heart...I've thought of something that doesn't involve any further predictions, the player closest to the final aggregate score goes through...

That could work for a final. I definitely don't think that should be decided on a coin toss...worse than pens...any Germans amongst us?

Can you clarify how that would work? There's a CL Final at stake :)

You're thinking too hard about this Meds :)

Let's say the overall aggregate scores for the two semi's were 4-2 and 5-3 respectively.

Player A predicted aggregate scores of 3-1 and 2-2.

Player B predicted aggregate scores of 4-2 and 2-3.


Player A's aggs were -1, -1, -3 and -1 away from the actual aggs, giving a total of -6

Player B's aggs were 0, 0, -3 and 0, giving a total of -3.

The player closest to the actual aggs wins, in this case Player B.

Seems a fair way as it incorporates all 4 matches.

If both players are still equal then it's coin time...

The business end of the season and even Radio 5 is exciting.... Spuds last minute scrambling for winner after late equaliser, Wolves fans on the pitch threatening their own players after relegation then Brentford miss an injury time penalty for promotion and from the breakaway Doncaster score to get promotion....just hope Dulwich Hamlet are winning....I need a drink
a sad day for football. The Newcastles are a mess, I dont know what is happening up there, so another defeat isnt that shocking. But Today, the apologists for racism and violence won. If Goebbels had have been alive, he would have been a supporter of the current red shite team.

Congrats to Gareth Bale, only the 3rd 'double double' winner of the player's awards...the others being Ronaldo and, wait for it...

Andy Gray...Take a bow son!

GB hit a purple patch of form, just at the right time as the votes were being cast, whereas RVP's dipped. The writer's vote later and can look at the season as a whole when voting, so I think they will choose RVP, while GB will get the young player award.


Despite their manager's request to show some class, Gooner fans were anything but yesterday, booing the guard of honour for Utd. Still, we shouldn't be surprised, they boo their own players and manager afterall. I've no issue with them booing RVP when his name was announced and when the game got underway, but to boo the guard of honour, when he hadn't even stepped onto the pitch shows what a classless set of fans they have. Let's be clear, it wasn't a few idiotic morons every club has, this was large swathes of their support...20

I'd be very surprised if your view is shared by many people RD. Great goalscorer as RVP is, Bale has been the stand out player in the premiership this season surely?

You're missing my point Mick. The PFA vote isn't based on the season as a whole. I've no qualms with Bale winning the award based on the season up until the votes were cast. A worthy winner indeed. I just think the writer's might make a different choice when they cast their votes at the end of the season.

Re. Ots...RVP has more goals than Suarez, not that should decide who's had a better season or not. I think Carrick has been Utd's consistently best player, but goalscorers often take the glory.

The PFA awards often thrown up anomolies. Ryan Giggs won it after only making a dozen or so apearances, probably more out of sympathy for never having won it. In Scotland, not a single Celtic player has been nominated this year, which is laughable. Still, it all provides good 'pub debate' material...

Bale has been brilliant all season and for me it's thoroughly deserved (not that I'm biased at all). But as RD has pointed out the writers' award takes in the whole of the season. I'd still plump for Bale but wouldn't be surprised if Van Pursie won it. There is no doubt he's had a fabulous season. Suarez, although he's had a great season too, he's blotted his copy book (again) of late and that rules him out for me.
So RVP back at the Emirates and did what all ex Arsenal Players do and scored, so why not celebrate? You are now employed by the rags not Arsenal, enjoy the moment. Just a samll footnote, if Theo really thought it was OK to put on that shirt after the game, he's either a complete buffoon or doesn't understand the history between the clubs. In his case probably both.

"Suarez, although he's had a great season too, he's blotted his copy book (again) of late and that rules him out for me."


Agree, but if it was just about his football and nothing else, he'd be up there. Had Bale done one of his swan dives the week before voting, that could have swung it to RVP.

Maybe. I was watching Sunday Supplement, Sky's football journo show on Sunday morning, and one of the journos said he wouldn't be voting for Bale because of his perceived diving.

Mick, forgot to ask earlier, did you see Jimmy Nesbitt singing his heart out in the Utd end yesterday? Buy him a pint from me...

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
