Scott McFly

Figured you would've posted if you'd won, but I checked them all anyway. First one was crap, but second one was good except Motherwell won in extra time. Not much good that. Will probably have a bash at the Champions' League tonight. Not sure what yet but I know I'm staying as far away from Rangers as possible. EDIT: A few small accas for tonight: Lyon, Barca, Stuttgart, Arsenal - £1.50 (£5.95 return) Leeds, Millwall, Rochdale, Port Vale - £1.50 (£13.30 return) West Brom, Peterborough, Preston, Sheff United - £2.50 (£21.17 return) Kuyt to score first - 50p (£3.75 return) So only betting £6 altogether, but could get a fair bit back. Off work this week and normally start at 5am so can't stay up to watch these games unfold often, so normally wouldn't bother having a bet, but I can stay up past my bedtime tonight lol

Just wait until Darren Bent gets injured or stops scoring, that'll burst my bubble. My striking options are limited to say the least.

That table from 4th - 6th is all kinds of in the wrong order. Still maintaining my 100 point cushion. Nice.

Total bets for Man City game - £5.20 Returns - £9.43 Winning bets - Man City HT/FT (£2), Bellamy or Tevez to score first (£1), Tevez to score in 90 mins and Man City to win (£1). Losing bets - SWP to score anytime (50p), Man City to win 3-0 (50p), Scott Parker to be shown first card (20p). Brings my total profit for the season to just over £35. Would've been a lot less if Paddy Power hadn't given me a £10 free bet after I'd lost my initial £10.

I'm actually sick of reading that the Gareth Bale curse has been broken because he came on with 5 minutes to go against Burnley and was on the winning side, because I was under the impression it was Premier League starts, not appearances. Hamster?

I ended up having a small 50p bet at 6/1 or something on Bent to score first and Sunderland to win. So I'm slightly up now. Until the Man City game starts in an hour that is. ESPN HD baby, definitely having a wee bet or two there while watching.

"Recently" as of right now... yes. Got all my physicals above 30 now though, although it's not helped my defender rating much. But then, I'm an adventurous right back, so I don't do as many tackles.

This may be sabotaging my own possible victory, but that second Bent goal was an own goal wasn't it?

Small loss so far this weekend (about £1 or so) which could've been more but was saved by a Spurs, Liverpool, Man U treble. Might have a flutter on the Sunderland/Wolves game later since I'll be in to watch it.

We'll go with the Davie Moyes faith again then: Bet 3 - 20 on Everton. Doubler: Spurs 2-0 Burnley

Yes. We both managed to get through an entire season without drawing or losing any games. Even against each other. >_>

It's actually getting a bit embarrassing now.

Jeez, another tough week to pick someone. Gonna put my faith in David Moyes... Bet 3 - 20 on Everton Doubler: Man United 1-0 Man City

Well, it resulted in a steward being hit on the head with an object and knocked unconcious. Yes, you could argue that the Arsenal fans shouldn't be throwing things, but when your former player has just ran the entire pitch just to get in your face about a goal he's just scored against you, that's pretty much asking for trouble. I honestly hope they ban him because a fine will do nothing assuming the wages he's on. Maybe Arsenal fans shouldn't scream abuse at players all game long or at least not act like a bunch of two-year olds when it gets thrown back in their face. And zaz, who is the Arsenal player there? Eboue, innit. Bingo. He has said several times already that he still has friends at Arsenal such as Eboue and Song. Just because he hugged a player he has been close with for years doesn't mean he wasn't on the pitch to prove something, no matter what. Don't get me wrong, when I saw Ade do his celebration in front of the Arsenal fans I thought it was bad ass, like a classic Heel move almost, but it's still very classless. Obviously the Arsenal fans shouldn't have been throwing things and shouting abuse, but they're twats - what do you expect? Adebayor could've done something a bit more subtle like kiss the badge in the fans' direction from across the pitch. He didn't have to go all "track and field" and nearly spark a mass riot. To sum up - Arsenal fans are twats, Adebayor's an idiot and hopefully the situation doesn't get worse when they play at the Emirates.

Nibbler posted on the other forum that I was 3-0 up going into Sunday and I thought metalman would've gotten a goal back since he had Cahill in his team. Obviously not though. Not to complicate things further, but if you want to just call it 3-0 by forfeit metalman then I'm fine with that. Up to you though.

Damn I knew he was ill and doctors told him he didn't have long to live, but you don't believe it's true once a few weeks have passed. Ghost is one of my favourite films ever, will definitely watch it again now in tribute. Thanks for the memories, Patrick. RIP.

Ugh, well thanks UEFA, doesn't that send out the right message. Obviously you're not going to be able to ban everybody who dives week in week out, because you'd be there for years looking at replays since there's just so many fucking cheaters. But if you at least start with banning a few (whose opponents complain directly to UEFA like Celtic) then it would discourage others from doing the same and it would make your job a bit easier. But no, you bottle it and just pretend it never happened. Cheers UEFA, we're stuck with diving for the forseeable future then.

I think it was David Mitchell who said something like "what happens when there's a scandal involving water? What will they call that, then? Because the obvious one is already taken."

He's actually on 61,970 >_>

I know he was late with submitting his team, but I'm happy to allow metalman to score normally against me instead of having a 3-0 forfeit. Not sure if you'd need the other players approval or a majority vote or whatever, but I'd rather it was a proper game, personally. Up to you though, Nibbler.

Yep, as it says above the scores "the two fixtures tomorrow (ie Sunday) could change everything". Those are just the latest scores as of Saturday.

Made about £8 from a Blackburn/Sunderland/Chelsea treble, then put £2.50 of that on some live betting that Hertha Berlin screwed me over on. Oh well, still £5.50 up for the weekend unless I decide to stick something on the games later today.

Holy crap, I'm doing unbelievably well. I should be backing my picks with real money. >_>

C'mon Baddar, it's all in the guidelines! >_> 2.1 Point Scoring System Points are rewarded for each individual player in your starting lineup and any subs used. Points are added to your team's score for each of the following criteria: +1 point for each player who plays up to 59 minutes +2 points for each player who plays 60 minutes or more +5 points for every goal scored +3 points for every assist Points are deducted from your opponent's score for each of the following criteria: +5 points for a GK who saves a penalty +5 points for a GK who keeps a clean sheet +4 points for each CB who keeps a clean sheet +3 points for each FB who keeps a clean sheet +2 points for each CM who keeps a clean sheet Clean sheet points are only attributed to players who play for 60 minutes or more. A player who is sent off will lose his clean sheet bonus if his team subsequently concede. Points added to your opponent's score for each of the following criteria: +5 points for each own goal scored +5 points for conceding a penalty +3 points for each red card +1 point for conceding more than three goals, and +1 point for each subsequent goal conceded The total points earned is converted into a number of goals: 20 total points= 1 goal 25 total points= 2 goals 30 total points= 3 goals 35 total points= 4 goals 40 total points= 5 goals 45 total points= 6 goals 50 total points= 7 goals etc. 12th Man Bonus If the home team is winning by four or points but the game is tied on goals (e.g. 34-30, 24-20) then the home team gains one extra point and the subsequent goal it results in, to represent the advantage of playing at home.
