"The Football Accumulator Thread"

Right, i know some of you guys are not keen football fans so probably not a great thread for you - sorry.

However, for the few of us that enjoy football, i thought this could proove to be fun!

I love doing football Accumulators and very often, well actually never, have i won a bet of one. So to try help me spending all my hard earned cash i thought we could play a game. These are the rules (and even people who know nothing about football can play!)

Each week i will post the fixtures for the premier league on here.
From them you choose 4 games and say how it will go.
Getting 3 out of the 4 correct grants you a point.
Getting all 4 will get you 3 points.

Simple, right! I will of course keep a list on here and update the scored of the people playing.
So let me know if your interested in playing along. Fun game to keep me occupied and may actually help me finally win a bet!

I've resisted the temptation to be a git and copy McLong's predictions (thereby guaranteeing my victory) in the hope of giving him such a hiding that he wont be able to show his face in this office again

Lol, i thought i would make it possible for even people in 5th to jump near the top and join the Champion's League ; p

Just makes it all more exciting, plus for someone to guess the outcome of 10 matches would be a big win in gambling stakes!
