"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 ban wouldn't be for your opinion (we welcome it) it would be for singing Black Eyed Peas and lowering the tone of the entire forum!

You're going to ban me for my opinion?!! :OOO Although it would be quite amusing (for abit :P)

Please don't sing such utter tripe whilst on these forums, my ban hammer finger is getting itchy :)

Anyway, the BBC had the teams who played when Villa beat United in the '94 final, looking at the Villa team it's no wonder they won with so many legends in there!

GK Mark Bosnich
RB Earl Barrett
CB Shaun Teale
CB Paul McGrath
LB Steve Staunton
RW Tony Daley
CM Andy Townsend
CM Graham Fenton
CM Kevin Richardson
LW Dalian Atkinson
CF Dean Saunders

Epic, epic team.

I've got a feeling (ooooooooooooOooo) that Villa will pull off a cheeky win.

Here goes then:

Burnley, Stoke v Arsenal (DRAW), Liverpool and Spurs

Man Utd 2-1 Aston Villa

John Carew will score first

Well if you think it will go to extra time then state, thats the best way, or i will count them all as AET!

Just so I know, if the 'guess the score' 90 minutes only or are we counting ET?

Birmingham v Wigan
Bolton v Wolverhampton
Burnley v Portsmouth
Chelsea v Man City
Stoke v Arsenal
Liverpool v Blackburn
Sunderland v Fulham
Tottenham v Everton

[B]Man United 2[/B] - 1 Aston Villa

[I]Edited as Rooney is not starting:[/i]
First Scorer: Dimitar Berbatov

Villa are the one team that we seem to constantly have problems with recently. Saying that, it takes a brave person (Chris) to bet against Man United in a domestic cup final.

I think Man Utd will win it, they have been playing really well at times lately, but if they under estimate or take Villa lightly they will get punished.

If Vidic is back that will help them and Rooney is playing well!

Birmingham v Wigan
Bolton v Wolverhampton
Burnley v Portsmouth
Chelsea v Man City
Stoke v Arsenal
Liverpool v Blackburn
Sunderland v Fulham
Tottenham v Everton

The Carling Cup Final
Man Utd 3 - 1 Aston Villa
Rooney

Wow, Man U's form against Villa in the League Cup is awful, 1 win 4 losses in previous 5 meetings...
