I'm sure those with big scores will be flaunting their acumen before long and posting predictions on here -


- and I think I could happily post mine without anyone indulging in skullduggery unless it was of the "if maxxi's going for a home win it's an away banker" kind.

I'll try and get involved - and completley understand how much hassle it was last year...but...


half the fun was looking at people's predictions.


Maxxi's mad punts

El Pibe's continual optimism

Mick Mac's obvious ignorance of all things football (not that he's much better with the oval ball stuff)


Throwing in an 8-0 to wind up Jah


etc etc

Now that is rich coming from a man who spent the latter part of last season waiting for everyone else to post their predictions so he could work out how to stay top of the league.


Gamesmanship? I'd like to call Otta to the stand in my defence.

I haven't got the time or inclination to totally disprove your slanderous accusation, suffice to say, the only strategy I used, which I had openly revealed, was to keep my predictions around the 2-1 scoreline, give or take the odd goal depending on who was playing. Occasionally I would drop in a 4-0 type scoreline, because occasionally that happens, but by and large I think statistically most results end up around 2-1, a slight advantage for the home team. Using that strategy it was totally irrelevant what other players had predicted. In the final few weeks my lead at the top was actually halved by ????. I suppose your suspicious mind will conclude that was deliberate, part of 'The Masterplan'.

In case you're forgetting I also won the FA Cup, a head to head format which required secret predictions. Maybe I should apologise for not revealing my Stasi trained telepathic skills beforehand.

Finally, why would I opt for an online system this season where other predictions won't be seen?


Re. Otta: that was a classic case of you feeling guilty after the event, trying to right a wrong after you admitted to using gamemanship...

I did odd things twice, but I doubt they can be called cheating, more daft experiments.


I used a 0-2 random number generator once, the results were poor.

And once because I had no time to think, I inverted maxxi's on the theory that he was so bad the opposite must be better, I think that was my worst week ever.

Ok, I apologise for saying you 'admitted' to using gamemanship, you didn't.

You discovered a flaw in the aggregate score rule for the CL game. Did you not use it to your advantage? If not, how did you actually go about making a prediction?

As for guilt, that is between you and your conscience.

      Council tax

      By malumbu · Posted

      Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
