SYMM, Lupin and Zharkov seem to have given up so you should finish clear of the bottom 3 by default

btw (unless there are objections) I intend to end this league in early Jan when 21 games have been played (I'd prefer the exact half-season on P19 on Dec 28, but with so many games in quick succession over Xmas, P21 leaves a nice 10 day gap for planning the next one)

I was going to ignore it (to keep the games played even) but I think there's a week in December when Sunderland don't have a game so.....

I'll take the prediction of the first one of those four to post

I'd have it as 2-0 D NYRON! (I don't think he's been included before).

I don't think so, as sni didn't even bother to read the post he's replying to, and therefore made an incomplete prediction.

I'll use sniborp's as he was first even though he made a total ****up of it

The other three names will be Reidy's next three opponents* anyway so you'll all get a chance to take advantage of his "hopeful" predictions.

(*when he isn't predicting against someone with a fixed team)

SCORING
G = 1 point = generally right : final score accurate as far as home/draw/away

A = 2 points = almost right

correct home goals in a home win prediction
correct away goals in an away win prediction
any non-exact draw in a draw prediction
correct goal difference (has to be generally right too)

X = 3 points = exactly right... obviously the exact score

and 1 point each for

H = correct half-time
S = scorer
T = Time (+-3 minutes)

Kurashima · 4 Dec 2005, 01:21

*ahem*

Ill defend Phangs corner on this one by pointing out that William Hills paid out on Crouch as first goalscorer (and i made £30 on that at 5/1)

Which makes it a draw

pig · 4 Dec 2005, 01:28

MOTD said it was crouchs goal as well, and I agree with them tbh. Looking at it he hit it and it deflected off the defender and kinda into the keepers hands but the keeper just kinda mucked up and dropped it behind him. If say he took a penalty and it went in the keepers hands but then dropped out instantly, it would still be a goal for crouch.

By the way kura your sig is really "flash flash flash"

wtf is it?

1-X · 4 Dec 2005, 01:32

My main three sources, livescore, BBC and football365, all say Pollitt.

roadrunner_0 · 4 Dec 2005, 01:37

i have to defend 1-X on this one, all the reports i have seen said crouch at first but then changed it to an own goal, sorry phang

pig · 4 Dec 2005, 02:23

Well heres a few places that disagree just to counter balance the argument

skysports
Ladbrokes
Liverpool FC
Wigan Athletic FC
William Hill

Whats interesting is that Britains two major bookies credited crouch with the goal, even though it would've cost them thousands and both liverpool and Wigan credited crouch with the goal.

This quote on Liverpools site is rather interesting

Quote:

"Our official records will record that Peter scored twice against Wigan Athletic. There is absolutely no reason for any panel to consider whether the goal should be credited to him."

Cannon_Fodder · 4 Dec 2005, 03:12

hmm, it took a massive deflection first though and then the keeper bundled it in, i dont know it watched it once, but i was too disappointed from the Arsenal result to care.

But go me today tho
