Well done unhappy bunny, there is no magic formula and this game just shows how difficult it is to predict scores, however it's a great game and many thanks to the chaps who look after it behind the scenes and the site itself H.N.Y.
Nice and early for you this week! Good week for me which would have been better if I persevered with slow Barbados wifi to change to a Chelsea victory, after seeing Cabaye was out injured. Happy pipped me to the week lead, as the final entry.

My bubble has burst! I have to try to improve and take a little bit more care with the details. Today it’s impossible to explain how I did so badly but I will try to take the positives. However, HH24's and Miked's predictions were amazing.
Is there going to be an FA cup one this week? Who knows what could happen with the magic of the cup kicking in.
I like to think of myself as the Watford of the prediction league. Seen by many as relegation fodder at the start of the season, stay under the radar as the "big boys" fight it out at the top and steadily, unnoticed, climb the table.

I have a lot of reasons to be happy. When I was getting my predictions right I kept humble and tried to work in the same way. Anyone can lose. I don’t like to lose, but I need to accept the result. But the spirit I have made in the first half of the league season remains. I have enough points to be positive.
And to think I was considering closing that week and not counting it, as I thought it was unfair to spring a midweek prediction on people. I join the zero club hall of fame. It's a cool club... promise.
My prediction of Swansea 2 - 5 Watford seems rather optimistic... Swansea were never going to get 2. What happens in zero club stays in zero club. (are there prizes for getting in twice?).

We tend to only do EPL weekend fixtures. Somebody put up a midweek one and some frequent players didn't end up playing. Often it comes on the back of weekend-Tuesday, which is difficult to sort out the scoring/ spreadsheet sharing, and then one of us (last time legs) ended doing twice the entering. You'll have one up shortly for this week, but it will just be for the weekend, instead of midweek
