+2 - correct team wins
+5 - correct scoreline (has to be in right order if a win)
-2 - incorrect team wins

[Sidders]

So what are the new scores? Surely if you predict a draw and it is a draw surely it should count as correct team wins? (Assuming you get the score wrong of course.)

[Uglybob]

those scores above are correct. if you predicted a draw with the right scoreline you get 5 points but if you predicted a draw with the wrong scoreline you get bugger all.

[Sidders]

Then why am I only on 3? I got the Fulham Bolton score right so I should be on 5. Surely I don't lose 2 points because I said Chelsea would win and they didn't?

[Uglybob]

yes you do

[Sidders]

That's stupid. If you're going to dock points for draws then you should also get the points if you predicted a draw and it was a draw. I wouldn't have predicted any draws if I'd have known you could lose points for them.

[Uglybob]

you dont lose any points for predicting a draw

WAYNE ROONEY SUBBED OFF AGAIN FOR EVERTON

[Sidders]

You do, because by predicting a draw it means that you automatically get the winning team wrong if it isn't a draw.

[Uglybob]

look my rules. continue to moan and ill chuck you out.

[Mcqueen_]

The winner prob won't get the prize anyway, ask Eddie about that...

[Sidders]

NOOOO!!! He'd go on and on about it!

I see 3 people who entered this have only had posted once or twice so if they win, then the next person from them will win. I think it is only fair that a person who stays on the board wins the prize. From whence Ive been online, I havent seen them at any other stage.

Fair dos. Thought I was being a bit cheeky, to be honest. I would have posted more, but didn't really have anything to add on this or other threads. Thanks for the initial warm welcome anyway - I'll make more of an effort in the future

Anyway, I don't expect my strong first week showing to be repeated in the run-up to Christmas. Consider my entry as if it were an exhibition team in the World Cup of posters...

Good luck everyone!

[Totalmusic]

If people are unsure of points, is it worth printing out the scores again with the changes that need doing, or is that just too much? Seems like some people are taking this far too seriously....

Mind you, if I were anywhere near the top and wanted extra points, I'd be challenging you myself

So after Round 1 of fixtures
THE CORRECT SCORES SHOULD HAVE BEEN
1. Fulham 2 Bolton 1
2. Leeds 1 Chelsea 1
3. Boro 0 Portsmouth 0

MJB = +5
Golden Vision = +5
Sidla = +3
MC = +2
Spoon = +1
Lewis = +1
ASG = +1
AS = +1
Totalmusic = Zero
Silvergull = -2
Aaron = -4
Gregs = -4
Minnie = -4
premier league wolves = -4
Mr Dion = -6

correct scoreline = +5
correct winning team = +2
incorrect winning team = -2
if its a draw and you predicted a win you get bugger all

[Ahh_Pathetic]

yet i goy -2 for predicting a chelsea win when it was a draw. bob you mean if its a draw an you predict a team winning you get -2 while if you predict a draw and it isnt the correct result you get nothing.

[Uglybob]

yep

1. Fulham 3 Bolton 1 +2
2. Leeds United 0 Chelsea 3 -2
3. Middlesbrough 0 Portsmouth 0 +5

[Scoot]

The rate you lot are doing on the other thread, i'll be surprised if anyone will actually win.

[Sidders]

I know, I've already pointed this out. As I said I wouldn't have predicted any draws had I known.

[AS]

well alli can say is that im quite chuffed i got a plus one in the first week's results, i got one result scoreline totally correct an the other 2 wrong. i'm sure i saw the fa cup predictions somewhere, but i didnt see the leeds/arsenal fa cup game prediction included.......... or did i just read the wrong message!!!!!!!

[Morals]

ahh but then you would see *edited* at the end of the posts.

Not if you happen to be a site administrator, eh Chris?

[Uglybob]

[Spoon]

This is depressing. Especially that Spurs scoreline. Kinda funny watching Keller yell at his own team.

[Aaron]

Just like the premiership, it seems as though the winner will be one of three. MC, Lewis and Golden Vision will battle it out next week. I personally think Golden Vision will win.
