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

For those who want to go public with their predictions.

If you do, best to wait until Meds posts his predictions first though...

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.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
