Bloody hell Villa, not just the points but doing wonders for their Goal difference, which was terrible...as wellas puting a big dent in Sunderlands!

[red devil]

Great win for the Villa. Must've been something in the North East water this weekend :)

[Mick Mac]

Yes I saw Jimmy Nesbitt. Bought him a pint once in Franklin's. If you want you can pretend it was from you RD.

Btw i did not miss your point on Bale v RVP, just can't see RVP doing it on any basis, but we shall see.

[red devil]

Thanks Mick, I will.

Did you know I once bought Jimmy Nisbett a pint in Franklins?

See, I'm a natural...

I don't understand the Arsenal fans giving the Man Utd team such a poor reception on Sunday. They've waited for years to see the Premier League champions run out at the Emirates.

Week 31 results.

Who needs a Jason & Kylie reunion, our very own Pinky and Perky have finally made it to the top spot together...bless!

Otherwise, poor show, must do better...

?? - 0 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 9 pts

MM - 3 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 9 pts

EP - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

Mx - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

OT - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts

PD - 5 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 5 pts

Half-time scores in the EDF Champions League Semi-Finals...

Mx 1 JL 0

OT 1 AM 1

AM's predictions are...

Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 2

Barca 3 Bayern 2

JL's predictions are...

Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 0

Barca 2 Bayern 1

Mx's predictions are...

Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 1

Barca 3 Bayern 2

OT's predictions are...

Real Madrid 3 Bor Dortmund 0

Barca 3 Bayern 1

Everyone has predicted two home wins, so Jah will need one more correct score than maxxi to progress.

Meds and Ots, if not getting any correct scores, will have to go through the tie break system of who got closest to the overall aggregate score...good luck!

[Otta]

I see myself & JL had the same predictions. Great minds think alike! Or blurred minds, you decide.

I've just done the BBC's Premier League Predictor for the top 5 clubs... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm

Man Utd 38 48 92

Man City 38 37 83

Chelsea 38 36 75

Arsenal 38 33 71

Spurs 38 23 71

Indeed. In making my first predictions I managed to completely mess up by thinking they were the second legs. Where I got that idea from I've no idea. Must of had a few.

[Otta]

Bloody hell!!!

And they're getting rid of their manager for Pep?

[maxxi]

I didn't see it but it sounds like Barca gave up - what a humiliation, BM fans apparently giving it the 'Ol?' treatment as they out passed the Spaniards. Just made Pep's job harder - has he just become the most redundant appointment of next season?

[Otta]

I never saw it either, but expected (and indeed predicted) similar to last night. A home win but not enough. The "best team in the world" are not looking so good now.

[Mick Mac]

Well, Celtic beat them, they must be sh1t.

[Mick Mac]

7 goal out and 12 goals out? That's the Peter principle in action and no mistake.

[Otta]

0-3 was going to be my next guess too. Honest guv.
