AM hasn't withdrawn his resignation, so as maxxi has no qualms about the 9th placed team i.e. me, replacing him, I'll gladly take up the offer.

Revised draw...


EP v AqM

RC v SC

RD v Mx

OT v LG



Here are the fixtures...



EDF Cup - Sixth Round


Saturday 8th March 2014


Arsenal V Everton



Sunday 9th March 2014


Sheff Utd V Charlton

Hull V Sunderland

Man City V Wigan



So that no one gains any advantage by seeing what an opponent has predicted, all predictions are to be PM'd to me, and I'll post them once all received. For my match against maxxi, we need a volunteer to receive our predictions, any takers?...

You forgot the third option RD.Retract your insinuation that I mull over other peoples entries to gain an advantage before making mine. Then I'll retract my withdrawal. Simple. Where are your manners?

Don't bother. Before you climbed onto your self righteous, moral high horse, perhaps you should've checked the previous posts... chronologically.

When you do, you'll see that it's actually you who accused/insinuated someone by name first. Me.

I didn't name anyone until after you accused me. There was nothing in my initial post that insinuated it could be you.

Sorry, but I'm not to blame for your guilty conscience. If anyone should be apologising it's you...

Just my opinion.

I certainly won't be changing mine to 2-1 just so I'll stay above you! ;-)



> There are pros and cons with a ban on changing predictions. For instance if Barca announced today that Messi, Iniesta and Xavi were injured in training, I'd want to be able to change my prediction to reflect this. I think if someone did what you describe, it would be quite obvious and their 'win' would be tarnished. There are other loopholes in the format too, for instance there's nothing to stop someone waiting until everyone else has posted their predictions before posting their own. I can think of one player who is regularly one of the last to post their predictions... coincidence or tactics? I guess it comes down to the morals of the individual...

So it's ok for you to imply someone is less than honest but as soon as someone says it's you (which succeeded in getting you to name names) you get up on your high horse. You shouldn't have written what you did and now you are behaving like the boy who owns the football and takes it home when he's not winning.

Done - but I employed a team of out-of-work NOTW journos to hack your EDF a/c and sneak a peek at RD's predictions first. Hull to win by six!? Pah!

Like I said before, not my fault your conscience was pricked.

No one else has criticised what I wrote, whereas your childish, toys out the pram reaction was. Grow up...

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
