lookersstandandy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 singe is good. It feels like I’m watching Brian Clough’s Forest side of the 70’s take the 2nd tier by storm... before wiping the floor with the big names in the 1st tier and then Europe’s predicting elite, twice.

Although for some reason (these are the worst types of ex-pats) he goes around saying he won because of some sort of side bet or gallon round. They hang around provincial holes like Sydney or Melbourne giving it the big one, saying things like "I was a big noise in England but prefer it here" when the truth - they know this deep down - is that they were defeated by England so comprehensively that they had to leave. And what's more leave for the other side of the world and the other hemisphere. They got so badly roughed up by England that they ran away as far as they could go without going into fucking space.

Actually there is. When points are tied, positions are decided on the columns going left to right. So attendance points are less valid than all the other points in the event of a tie.

Yeah but the true brethren of predicting consider them inferior. And rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition it’s not inclusive. Being a woman does not mean you’re excluded. Not being amateur and professional champ does mean you are excluded. Forever. Your lot play on the same terms as everyone else. You get mediocre results, just like many blokes, such as rudemedic. Any cunt can join the Association of Average Predictors. They’re really not fussy. Go there if you want inclusivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from your tedious adherence to the "rule book" (no one ever won nothing without a bit of creativity)... ...I do like the way getting top points for an attendance prediction can destroy people.
