It's been a dodgy start, and of course the week I forget to put in scores (which would have all been 2-1 except for Chelski and City) I would have maybe been back in black.

That 2x and 3x multiplier is mighty tempting to those of us negative players man. Not to mention that if we'd gone "Oh gently caress City - Cardiff putting all my money on this poo poo :smugbert:" we'd all be so, so wrong.

Quite bitching about our lovely picks, parade yours around or something, it's not very entertaining.

Comparing and bantering about predictions is the only reason we have a thread for this in the first place.

You're overambitious w/r/t Liverpool, Hull and Newcastle will draw but I don't see 4 goals, Everton and West Ham will def draw, Swans will ride their good form over Valencia to a win... just imo

Sturridge is on fire and Saints can't find goals anywhere right now. Newcastle have some really great attacking options but are leaky at the back and I don't think they can hold on to a lead anywhere at the moment. You're probably right about the seaswans tho.

In all seriousness, I'd agree that this week was the easiest week to score points using their system...that said, I don't think too many of us saw Swansea of Fulham banging out 4 goals.

That said, even yesterday's disaster of a game couldn't stop my 2nd week with the most points. Should have stuck with my original plan and had the Crystal Palace game as my insurance match, as United will bottle it all season long. I can't believe I wasn't sure of this.

130pts for the day...:getin:

Southampton is quickly becoming my favorite team to watch and get triple points with...2nd or 3rd week they've been my 90 point game.

I've got a few iffy ones tomorrow:

Sunderland/Newcastle, 1-2
Chelsea/City, 3-1 (insurance match)
Swansea/West Ham, 3-1
Spurs/Tigers, 2-0

I think Spurs and Swansea are almost a guaranteed 45 points between them. Sunderland who knows, and Chelsea/City could be anything. Is Kompany being out really that big of a deal given Chelsea's "striker situation?"

City are still going to win but you can change your predictions as many times as you want until kickoff.
