UK Football, prediction game!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Following on from the world cup prediction game would anyone be interested in a English prediction game?

I propose the following categories:

Winners of all 4 divisions

Promotion and relegation teams for each division

Winners of Worthington Cup

Winners of FA Cup

Winners of “champions” league

Winners of Uefa cup

Top goal scorer (in each division?)

First premiership manager to get the sack/resign/ abducted by aliens

Correct score etc on England Euro 2004 campaign (the bit in this season only)

Same in Scotland?

and maybe some wildcards eg:

Number of red cards wenger’s Arsen*l get?

Who will sign Dwight Yourke/Lee Bowyer/Sergei Rebrov/your suggestion here?

Most repulsive strip?

Stupidest excuse from “sir” Alex Ferguson

most self important ref etc

Who ate all the pies?

Any Takers? And any ideas?

We could have a sweepstake on the date when Fergie finally manages to get rid of Dwight Yorke.

Celtic for Leauge and Cup Double, possibly treble.

and maybe some wildcards eg:

Who will sign Dwight Yourke/Lee Bowyer/Sergei Rebrov/your suggestion here?

Yorke- anywhere without speed camera’s
Bowyer: he narrowly missed a great position playing at Her Majesty’s Leisure. Scumbag.
Rebrov: I hope a good club pick him up. He is a great player being wasted in London, unfortunately.
Dennis Wise will end up with Glasgow Rangers. they seem to like filthy midfielders.
Most repulsive strip?
Rangers “on the cheap” orange away kit. It makes small children cry.

Stupidest excuse from “sir” Alex Ferguson
The sun was in our eyes.

most self important ref etc
Keegan “loving it”.

Who ate all the pies?
Paul Merson, according to recent events.

“Self Important” referee…

Hugh Dallas. the only referee that that could manage to have the two clubs in one match file complaints about him over separate incidents as the fourth official.

Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cardiff City and Oxford Utd

Number of red cards Wenger’s Arsenal get?
