"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!


THE LEAGUE TABLE

ButchML - 55
McLong - 43
Emmie87 - 38
dav2612 - 31
Sonic Chris - 29
Dragonlance - 28
HighflyerVII - 10
Warhunt - 8
Jubba - 3
tnc - 1
HM - 1
Black8704 - 0
Alfonse - 0

Fulham 2 - 1 Stoke
Man City 1 - 2 Spurs

I have to look optimistic and say we are going to win!

Infact, if we win our last 2 games and Arsenal lose to Fulham! BAM 3rd place lol, that would be so unbelievabley brilliant!!

I'll take my point and Champions League place thank you!

Well only me and Butch gaining a point this week, we were the only ones who believed in the mighty spurs!

Final Day Fixtures;

Arsenal v Fulham
Aston Villa v Blackburn
Bolton v Birmingham
Burnley v Tottenham
Chelsea v Wigan
Everton v Portsmouth
Hull v Liverpool
Man Utd v Stoke
West Ham v Man City
Wolverhampton v Sunderland

Right, as this is the last day of the season and we may aswell make it interesting for everyone to be able to gain BIG points!

Usual first - guess 4 outcomes;
3 correct - 1 point
4 correct - 3 points

Guess the correct score and first goalscorer for 1 game;
Correct outcome - 1 point
first goalscorer - 1 point
correct score - 1 point
All correct - 4 points

Then here comes the BIG BONUS

Guess the outcome for all remaining matches, so from your first 4, you have 6 more to guess at, scores go like this; (you do not have to get the first 4 correct to gain these points)

2 correct - 1 point
4 correct - 3 points
6 correct - 5 points
(if you guess all 10 outcomes correct, it would be a big points boost and you would gain a total of 10 points)

I know there is a lot this week, but it is the last one and makes it with plenty of points to be grabbed and makes the last day all the more fun

I would like to thank everyone for playing along with this all season and i am really glad it has kept people involved and talking!!

Don't think you need to guess scores for the first 4, apart from that...

I count a total of 13 points up for grabs? Seeing as my lead is currently 11 I feel I can take some liberties this week :)

I feel Emmie is trying to bag that second spot. Unlikely! ;)

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!

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Chelsea
Man Utd

Aston Villa 1-0 Milner

Bolton v Birmingham DRAW
Tottenham
Everton
Liverpool

Wolverhampton v Sunderland DRAW

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
