Link to chat about footy comp/s

Footy fans love to chat footy, right? So I thought I'd try something out. This is a link to the footy prediction comp posted by davidrpj1 at:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4753758

To save bumping his thread - or threads if we want to keep this one going, post anything re the comp there, but any chat here. And BTW, this isn't done to moan about anyone posting on that thread - it's done because I want to add to it and feel bad about bumping.

Will add a bit in a mo, once this is set up on both boards.

    Right, here goes.

    MaineBlue you did NOT predict the right result last time :p You said it would be a boring 0 - 0. I was there and it wasn't boring. Didn't you see me on MOTD? I waved too. Also, you can't win if it'a 0 - 0. It carries over instead.

    LOVE this comp. So simple and fun - a bit like me ;)

    This time I went for:

    a) 1 - 0 (Man U) b) van Persie c) 43 mins

    But I would gladly sacrifice the £400 in favour of Liverpool winning.

    I assume you enter the Sky sports super 6 for £250,000 without even needing to name the scorer (just get 6 scores correct:rotfl:).

    Not a Liverpool supporter but this could be their best season for some time and I like to err on the side of entertainment so 4-1 Liverpool, Sturridge, 11 mins (loads of goals whichever way the result goes)

    Yay! Thank you for playing - and no :o I haven't entered the Sky comp - but I will now :T:T:T

    I'm not a LP supporter either - you can prob tell that from the name :D But would be fab if your prediction was right. Should be a real battle of a game, methinks

    I didn't actually see the Man U v Chelsea match Blulu, I fell asleep after 10 minutes.

    Yes 6 correct scores. If no-one gets all 6, then the next best gets £5,000. Not bad! :D

    You only need the time of the first goal as a tie break, either for the top prize or the 5K runner up one.
