"SR Punters League - Official thread"

I started the World Championship competition at the beggining of the season and haven't had much time to carry it because of another job.

I'm now going to do a punters League to see who is the best at predicting results. It will be quicker to work out and won't take much time to do.

Every week I'll put up a list of fixtures inside this thread where you guys and girls will predict the score.

You get 3 points for every scoreline prediction you get right and only 1 point getting the result right (eg. you said it would be 0-0 and it was a 1-1 draw or a 2-2 draw and so on)

You get 1 point for first goalscorer and 1 point for last goalscorer. Also another point for the half-time result (Home Draw Away) and 3 points for the correct scoreline.

Example of how to predict using Man United Vs Arsenal:

HT Man United 0 Arsenal 0
FT Man United 1 Arsenal 1
1st Goalscorer Van Nistlerooy
Last Goalscorer Henry
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Predict these games like the example above.

PREDICT FIRST AND LAST SCORER FOR ALL GAMES EXCEPT FOR NUMBER 9 + 10

1. Man United Vs Arsenal
2. Villa Vs Fulham
3. Liverpool Vs Charlton
4. Newcastle Vs Man City
5. Tottenham Vs Bolton
6. Chelsea Vs Blackburn
7. Crystal Palce Vs WBA
8. Middlesbrough Vs Portsmouth
9. Real Madrid Vs Valencia
10. AC Milan Vs Inter Milan

Yey, I win.

Don't worry guys, it'll be updated soon. Been working everyday since last Monday and haven't had chance.

Already said to Grandprix on MSN that I missed you and him off Chris as you were on the other page, so don't think I forgot.

=D

I hope he never updates it ever again. I like the scores how they are at the moment.

Hey come on guys, it's good of Foreman to do this at all, no?

Plus you didn't do mine the time I predicted. I forgot last week as I didn't have any time, but I'll predict this week.

I'm quite worried that I can't work out my score...

Got the half-time score at least

All in all, an awful set of predictions.

Or you should have taken away the Fulham goal from the first half instead of adding one in the second half.
