"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!

Apologies for this Emmie, for some reason I thought we already had 2 points before the point update. Nevermind. Must be the insane amount of alcohol from the weekend still affecting me.

Fulham had Sunderland covered overall in that game though. Fulham should have scored a couple more for sure and - I think - certainly deserved the win.

Bolton seem to suck in every respect this season, even their dirty kick-it-long (whether it's a ball or an opposition player) style of play isn't working for them. City to win.

On the other hand you're quite clearly better than me at this prediction game. I think I'm going to get relegated :(

Nope, Bolton will kick lumps out of city and play their tedious brand of football which City wont like or cope well with. Sunderland on the other hand deserved more than they got over this weekend and are good at home, pompey are still dodgy as anything and don't convince me much!

I am going with Chelsea, Man Utd, Sunderland & Spurs

There are mid week games after this weekend so the next lot of fixtures and guesses will need to be done quickly!

Unlucky Butch, bet that would have brought a few quid in.

Chelsea screwed me on one, and then Wigan did on another!

Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham, Man U

Chelsea, Man Utd, Sunderland & Tottenham

In other related news, I was one goal away from pulling off a 9 game accumulator, damn you MK Dons!

I will go for wins for

Man City
