"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'm not going to defend them and say they're had a good season, because they haven't at all. But I don't think it can be pinned on that. Even when we've had the likes of Torres and Gerrard, we still haven't won. If anything, I'd pin it more on Hicks and Gillette (pardon the spelling if it's wrong). So much for buying a forward to pair up with Torres last summer, we would've been unstoppable. The only person we've bought so far who's any good is Maxi and Johnson.

Would it be true to say that, up to now, Liverpool have depended too much on one or two key players to maintain their 'rhythm and fight' and have really struggled without them - ie they haven't developed any sort of alternative strategy to maintain any sort of 'dominence' within the PL as of yet - Champions League suffered as well:-)

Maybe if Torres stopped getting injured, it might help. To be honest, the summer break was the worst thing that could've happened to us. The end of last season, we put up the biggest fight I've witnessed from Liverpool for the title, but the break seemed made us lose all that fight.

and the rest...:-D

It's all Benitez's fault :(

Did someone say something?

Could this strange phenomenom be caused by someone trying to say something about my team when their team has been having poor results all season? It seems my brain automatically ignoring these types of comments.. :D

MAN CITY!!! *expects a banning, or an edited post VERY soon!*

:D

Wow this thread is ruining lives.

Depends in what context. For example, Chelsea lost in the football this weekend :)

Talking of "football" and "lost" in the same sentence is somethign that should never be done ;)
