No worries mate. I knew you weren't deliberately trying to knock points off me. Was just surprised I'd scored so poorly. That, and the rekentkess Cinci coming up on the rails and I thought I needed to speak up 😂

Didn't comment a week or so ago when you asked for a bit of feedback but I think you're doing a great job. I struggled a bit early on with pasting my scores in (think I had to correct them the first five weeks ffs) but am on top of it now and enjoying battling towards the top at a relatively early stage. I normally waver around 20th place til March, then finish like a train. Hopefully I'm not doing it in reverse this year!

It looks like being a good close game this year.

The lead has changed a fair bit since Sir ken ran away at he top early on. As you say Cinci is having a good year (again)

Good luck for rest of season and please keep checking the scores. I welcome anyone wanting a check or even shadow scoring the whole lot especially the leaders.

The Leeds v Newcastle game, being double points, should shake things up a bit.

Happy with that and now need to hammer it home today.

I am like a sticky bogey merry, you just can't shake me off

I've Newcastle to win 2-1 here and Chelsea 2 nil later. What have you got?

posted on 20/11/16

I got toon 1-2 and Chelsea 0-3...you never know

posted on 20/11/16

Never thought I'd say this but come on Leeds!!! 😂

With Chelsea's game, I'll be amazed if it isn't attack versus defence so it's a case of if and when Chelsea break them down and that leads into how many they'll win by. I think Chelsea will be patient

Toon 2 up...away and clear now...leeds might sneak one

posted on 20/11/16

Merry and Cinci both have 1-2
So no goal from Leeds would do my 0-1

Around 10 fans have a 0-2 score for 20 points

Need Leeds to get a goal here then. I an doing so much better on Championship results than PL without doing a massive amount of research. I went through a phase of just predicting Villa 1-1 every week (raging they played on Fri and weren't included) and got shedloads of points

posted on 20/11/16

Merry, Sorry about the Villa mass points miss for you
I don't include Friday games as they are likely to be missed by some fans who only visit the game late on,
I also do not include Monday so that I can do the results on Sunday evening when I have more time.

Leeds ain't scoring today

posted on 20/11/16

Yeah. I thought they'd bring it back to 1-1 and lose to a lateish winner. A Rafa team with that talent will see out 2 nil leads

Penshaw, maybe this is me misreading the whole thing, but I calculated that I got 40 points this week?

3 for the city game
5 for southampton
3 for Spurs
5 for Birmingham
5 for cardiff
10 for QPR
6 for Leeds (double points)
3 for Chelsea

Edin will check over your score

posted on 21/11/16

Edin. ?? You have scored 40 points on the table I just posted. You must have looked in the wrong column.

Oh, Leeds Newcastle was double points... so I should have 44.

posted on 21/11/16

Oh, I don't think you had updated it when I checked, which is probably why

Cheers

Some time ago you mentioned the following:
........................................................
"I think the only thing I have a problem with is trying to remember who the actual fixtures are when checking the scores. Any reason you scrapped your old 3 letter mnemonic system? "
..........................................................................
I have given this some thought and perhaps in future I could use the 3 letter code for just the HOME team to be followed by the score with NO SPACES. This would identify the game and I could still use my current spreadsheet.

So the last set set could look like the following with scores added (just a selection)

MNU11
CRY12
EVE12
SOU20
STO21
SUN30

Man Utd v Arsenal
Crystal P v Man City
Everton v Swansea
Southampton v Liverpool
Stoke v Bournemouth
Sunderland v Hull
and so on

I would not change the system this season but it is a thought for next year.

I don't see the problem with the current way... if you copy the fixture codes plus the fixtures beneath, paste it in comment box, the click to 'preview' the comment - you have the fixtures just above the comment box and the codes in the box itself.

Cheers Robben,
That is what quite a few do but no everyone uses the easier equipment like a PC or laptop.
Copy and paste may be a problem for some !

The system is now well established but I am always open to any improvements.
I intend to review the whole game at end of season and request comments/suggestions for the game. But any changes must not involve extra work in collecting/scoring.
