So Swansea won something! Do they qualify for Europe as one of England's selections? I've been wondering this since Swansea got promoted.

[Pascal]

Was way too drunk to do my predictions this week and didn't send out the PM I promised, sorry guys

[Pascal]

On the plus side

SWANSEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[OngBonga]

pm me your ps name please pascal, I want to get this ten bucks paid before I get skint again!

[kingmotan]

So.. I think I won the first one

[STILL_mkd]

Who won the first week of competition?

[OngBonga]

pm me your ps name please pascal, I want to get this ten bucks paid before I get skint again!

BUMP

[Pascal]

Think I'm still recovering from the weekend, give me a couple of hours and I'll get this going!

[Pascal]

Apologies again guys. 5 people out of 7 entered at least, so I guess I owe Rong $1 in equity

Winner of week 1 is kingmotan with 9 points, narrowly beating STILL by 1 point.

I realised that I didn't include a tie-breaker; if two people have the same number of points, the winner will be decided by the person who guessed the correct number of exact scores. If that's the same, I'll add up total number of goals predicted and closet wins. If THAT's the same, we'll give the score for one game the next week and that'll be the decider

I think I kicked ass today. Not even sure if anyone can catch me as nearly everyone has the sane result for the spurs v arsenal game and only 2 points are up for grabs with city as everyone has city to win.

[rong]

Some of utds passing and movement was exquisite. Let's hope we see some of that on Wednesday.

[Pascal]

Pascal - 6
Hoopy - 4

Rong - Spurs 2-1, Villa 0-2
Ong - Spurs 2-1, Villa 0-3
Joker - Spurs 2-1, Villa 0-2 (can't win)
Pascal - Spurs 3-2, Villa 0-4

[OngBonga]

Winning is nice. But winning after keeping ongs hopes alive until the last game is even nicer.

Well I won $260 in a donkfest this weekend, so I hope that takes the shine off your poxy ten bucks win and wipes the smug grin off your face.

[rong]

Utd v Madrid game is intense. Pretty good so far considering no goals.

[rong]

That was complete bollocks. What a cunt!

[kingmotan]

What's up. Are we betting for the 6 (?) games that are played in premier this weekend?

[rong]

I recon add the 4 fa cup games as well.

[OngBonga]

[STILL_mkd]

What wonderful matches was played today Liverpool-Totenham 3:2 ans Man Utd-Chelsea 2:2. Crazy matches

[Pascal]

RONG WHAT HAPPENED

[rong]

Tell me about it. Worse still, I missed the first 15 minutes of the game so all I saw was chelsea scoring.

[Pascal]

remind me not to bet on your shitty team again. or predict they'll win!

[rong]

Have you been betting on Utd? That's what's killing us. I've seen your sports betting thread, you are a jinx!

[OngBonga]

Who won? I can't be bothered to add up the scores. Pretty sure I binked two results so I must be in with a shout.

[kingmotan]

Ong you deserve the win for that 5-0 imo .
World class gamblers ITT

[Pascal]

Someone add up scores for me? Mental week this week

[OngBonga]

Yeah, preferably someone not called ong.
