EDF Football Predictor ...

[aquarius moon]

Is nobody else posting predictions?

Last week everyone.

This week, just me & Maxxi.

Being a newbie, thought that the whole point was to add enjoyment to the game by comparing different views etc.

If not, my predictions are not award-winning anyway, so will happily keep them to myself!!

[Otta]

I just couldn't really be bothered typing it out to be honest.

[aquarius moon]

Great excuse Otta.

Next?!

[Alan Medic]

I just know that everyone will copy mine. Well that's my excuse!

[maxxi]

so we're not posting them here? okay. mine were back to the usual dreadful-ness this week anyway.

eta: erm, begs the question.. what exactly would one post on this thread? If all the action is taking place elsewhere and people can see the results on the same site where they post predictions, this is just a comments thread.

"did badly this week"

"x is top/bottom"

"better today"

"bad again" etc...

on reflection I think I'll continue to bare my predictive soul - makes the pain more tangible but bragging rights (if any!) would be unquestionable ("I did put ManU down for a 6-0 loss, I did!")

............................AM NO PQ

Spurs v Barnsley 2-1 1-1 2-1

Man U v Chelsea 7-0 3-1 1-2

Would this work? One person starts and others just add to it without the need to type all the fixtures out again. The dots are required to keep the initials over the predictions.

Mine were pretty shoddy too mxxi, the old order restoreth.

Nice to know that 0% predicted the cardiff score. only 0.26% got even the right result!!!

No points deduction, it wasn't a rule just a suggestion to help identify who was who, rather than players using their real names. I thought it was fairly obvious that Glen Campbell was RC...

[Otta]

I've gone for Liverpool to beat Unt 2-1, and Arsenal to beat Spurs 3-1. I suspect they'll both be wrong, but just have a feeling, especially after the way Arsenal have been almost written off by some. It's a local derby they'll be desperate to win, and spurs are still a very new team.

I think Spurs will finish the season above Arsenal though. There, I've said it.

And what will be their excuse when they don't? Didn't they spend shed loads least summer as well?

[Otta]

With the way people are talking now, I think Spurs would have to swallow some humble pie if they don't finish abover Arsenal this season.

[Otta]

For my part, I'm hoping Liverpool manage to finish above the pair of them.

Although I think that's probably just wishful thinking.

As usual i've gone for a west ham win and a liverpool defeat.

I'm not sure at what point I became a liverpool loather.

It wasn't the fa cup, it slowly happened later, and I think this thread (and it's maternal ones) have been a big influence.

You are excepted in this otta, you're ok!!!

[Otta]

Er, cheers.

I was embarrassed to support Liverpool during the whole Suarez racism stuff. I supported him to an extent (still don't think he is in the John Terry league, but he was a fool), but the way the club very quickly developed this siege mentality was alarming, and very very ill advised.

Annasfield, who doesn't really post anymore, is Liverpool through and through, and is a friend. I don't always agree with her on stuff, but when I see her and we chat, she listens to my opinions too. I do see some of her fellow supporter's comments on her FB page and think WTF, but there you go.

In my opinion, LFC need to do some serious work on the public relations after the last couple of seasons. This whole "the world is against us" thing is boring. But I still support the club and most of the players, and I'm quite excited about the current squad.

I'm not a big fan of Rogers though, because he is so stubborn and doesn't do Plan B.

This should probably be on the other thread.

I can't ever remember a spending spree like this one. It's all a bit different from getting Louis Saha and Ryan Nelson on loan at the last minute.

4-0 not looking likely at the moment.
