EDF Football Predictor ...

[aquarius moon]

Just noticed that apart from RC who is racing even further ahead week by week, the next three (JL, RD & me) have had the exact same scores for two weeks running.

Not sure if it's a case of great minds think alike or we're all as bad as each other!

Week 24 points...

Week 24 table...

[Jah Lush]

Can't believe I've hung onto second. I've had a terrible couple of weeks.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

the only result I got right was Everton/West Ham

and I put money on that

emotional hedge

Irons

[El Pibe]

I had a worse week, I clean forgot!!

AM hasn't withdrawn his resignation, so as maxxi has no qualms about the 9th placed team i.e. me, replacing him, I'll gladly take up the offer.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

[red devil]

As well as the Cup there is a reduced round of League matches to predict in the online game.

Week 26 fixtures...

Saturday 8th March 2014

West Brom V Man Utd

Cardiff V Fulham

Crystal Palace V Southampton

Norwich V Stoke

Chelsea V Tottenham

phew, hope nobody saw them

[red devil]

You're supposed to PM them to me EP :)

Just me... ;-)

[Otta]

I saw them, so predicted the exact opposite.

[El Pibe]

I tried that with one of AM's predictions last season, just for the fun of it.

I did VERY badly that week!!!

[Otta]

I'm joking, I never actually saw yours. I've already submitted mine, although I can't say as I'm confident about them.

[El Pibe]

It's the cup, it's a toss up between goign for the obvious or calling the (almost) inevitable upset.

Keep it close is always good advice in this game but goes double for the cup i reckon

[aquarius moon]

I wish I'd seen them!

;-)

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

hopefully RD you got mine

[red devil]

Yep, cheers RC. Just need AqM's and SC's.

I'm posting mine to Ots, whether he likes it or not :)...

[Otta]

Received.

Maxxi if you want to post yours to me, I'll share them with the world along with RD's once he's posted everyone elses.

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...

[maxxi]

Now boys - let's not get childish...

Love it!
