And good luck to Manchester - at least you played last year without cheating quite as much as usual.

Blooming Johnny come lately - you are beneath contempt - and anyone who uses the ridiculous 'points per game' claptrap is desperate. However, 98 is a fine score but no doubt you were lucky to achieve such a result, with a number of fotunate 'correct scores'. A much better score than say, 94, so you have some potential, but your luck will run out.

You are also psychologically unstable as you were top for a stretch but could not cope and fragmented under pressure, although not in as spectacular fashion as Manchester last year and the epic Crimson disaster of 2007-08 which is famed throughout the land.

I will keep an eye on your progress, as one might casually observe a cat struggling to get out of a bag that someone has thrown into the canal.

If I had not missed out on the two games I had in had I would have won.

This year is Saigon going to post his predictions first or at least before his nearest rivals rather than copying them as he did last year?

And Saigon dares to call ME a cheat :?

I say that I had the moral victory last season. Saigon couldn't even win by CHEATING - that's how dreadful he is.

Anyway best of luck to all - even Saigon and JJ.

I'll be back!!!!

I agree. I am also doing my damnedest not to miss a round this season. Could be tight at the top!

Unlike saigon, I'm willing to admit to being lucky a few times last year (although I never cheated like him). :wink:

The most feared and masterfully professional predictors attract mindless criticism from many mediocre and amateur players.

Luckily I have shoulders broad enough to sweep aside such ignorance.

How did I finish that high up? I only made four predictions all season!

I'd have won it had I played straight through!

No 'big swede' developments, just enjoying it while it lasts, like beating baggies 4-1 on the opening day of the season and topping the championship! Plus trying to negate my deflated enthusiasm for the new season from yesterday's game. I think managers call it 'taking the positives'. At least someone got three points this weekend.....

And I'll bet SaiGONE found a way to cheat to get that single pathetic point too. It is even funnier that somebody like Exile, a man whose memory is so poor that he even forgot to enter, can take the pee. :lol:

24th after one week, but take consolation from the fact that if I was called aardvark_saddler I'd have been 12th.

Well thank god for my single point, otherwise I fear Manchester would have done himself some kind of ejeculation mischief.

Season proper begins after the second round anyway, as only the seasoned and professionally competent players know, as early triumphalism leads to bitter regret in the later stages. For example, here is something unpleasant Manchester posted last year:

I told you Saigon! I'm so good at this predicting game - just SO GOOD. Not only can I predict League One games better than you, I have also predicted that I would roar past you, leaving you blarting in my wake!!!

Have a nice trip down the table, mate. SJ is looking forward to overtaking you soon.

Onwards and upwards.


Unpleasant, uncalled for and hopelessly innaccurate, as Manchester slumped to ignomious failure and prostituted his family name.

Luckily I rise above the cretinous mud-slinging and refuse to involve myself in flirtations with arrogance, one of the many reasons why I finish so high, so often. 8)

Ah - but what you fail to realise, my perverted friend, is that I usually beat you easily. Last season was a one off and the shame is almost unbearable. Hopefully normal service will be resumed - and judging from your prediction last week, I am optimistic.

2-2 Manchester, or are forgetting Richard Branson's fantastic intervention on my behalf

:D

I feel the inclusion of KC in this season's prediction is cause for us to temporarily unite and undermine the potential of this upstart, under the principle of 'my enemies enemy is my friend'

See you in the inevitable flame war :wink:

PS why isn't Cully participating?
