Brucie Bonus Option - Harry's Gambit
"Nice to see you. To see you, nice. QPR host Manchester United next Saturday. Will QPR score a goal in this game? QPR Yes or QPR No please. QPR have scored 2 goals in their last 5 league games.
Get this right and you gain a life back. It could keep you in the game boys and girls. Get this wrong, and well, you look like a bit of a plonker, but you've got nothing to lose. You're so much better than the last audience."
ALL PREDICTIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY SATURDAY NOON
GOOD LUCK! DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE YOUR ANSWER TO THE BRUCIE ROUND - 'QPR YES' or 'QPR NO'
