04/05 Football season (FOOT)     

Scripophilist - 12 Aug 2004 11:26

I am signing up to the following if any body wishes to follow me. I will update and post the league table on this thread. Did ok last season but joined late and was unable to catch up the leaders. Here's hoping for a better result this season!!

---------

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/challengelawro/index.shtml

The new Premiership season kicks off on Saturday and this year BBC Radio Five Live's Challenge Lawro will be bigger and better than ever! What's more - we've also teamed up with BBC Sport's Football Focus. Tune into BBC One every Saturday from noon for the Premiership pre-match build-up and to hear the presenters give their predictions on the weekends' Premiership action.

Win with Challenge Lawro

The prizes aren't bad either - the Manager of the Month is invited onto Five Live's Drive programme to give Peter Jane and Mark, their footie predictions...and also awarded one of our shiny new Manager of the Month medals. At the end of the season, the player who has scored the most points, will be presented with a special Challenge Lawro trophy by the man himself. They will also be offered the chance to come into our London studios to be a pundit with Mark Lawrenson!

Last season, over 120,000 people registered to play Challenge Lawro. If you think you can take on your friends to be the champion of champions, then get playing now!

Was a pretty dreadfull experiance wasn't it. I had it down for a 0-0 but have this habit of not trying to predict draws so went for a hopefull Southampton win but on the basis of the match can't see how either team are likley to score in the immediate future.

Kivver - Know where you're coming from with the prices. At CFC we've had it for yrs but now that RA is in charge, things are looking better on that front. For example, West Ham is 20 adult this week (I can't go though !) and 10 for kids.

Prices aren't so bad when you see the players put the effort in, but we've had a few that would make you cringe (Bogarde, Veron, and even Crespo, who I like, spring to mind).

Didn't realise your team was so expensive to watch - Is your seat padded ?

Scrip - Yes, a good weekend for me, summed up in 2 results CFC ("Boring, Boring Chelsea") 4 Blackburn 0, and the result from OT yesterday. (God bless those Mancs).

Kivver - 28 Oct 2004 00:34 - 111 of 213

Just been to the fulham v Bham game 10 quid adults 1 quid for the kids. Blues 15 shots no goals, fulham 2 shots, 1 goal. yorke and heskey please practice your shooting. Nice one for the prices.

Gets back to the car down a dead end street at the arse end of birmingham with no street lights, a few industrial buildings all locked up. A place where i have parked the car many times before. I promise you would be scared to death to walk down there on your own. NO RESIDENTIAL buildings down the street or anywhere near. SO WHY DO WE GeT A 60 PARKING ticket. I swear they must have driven down there, it is nothing but SPITEFUL, NASTY and UNWARRENTED. Its these kinds of things that make Britain great, WELL DONE Birmingham City Council, you make me proud to live in this great city.

Crazy!!

I didn't bother going to watch Southampton vs Colchester last night regardless of price!!!

Kivver - 28 Oct 2004 10:03 - 113 of 213

May have been your last chance to see a victory this year scrip!!lol.

Scripophilist - 28 Oct 2004 10:32 - 114 of 213

LOL!

Scripophilist - 29 Oct 2004 17:48 - 115 of 213

Numbers of goals could be an interesting bet in the Arsenal vs Southampton match this weekend!!

Kivver - 29 Oct 2004 17:58 - 116 of 213

i think arsenal will have a poor game and only core about 3, sorry scrip but i think your going to get the backlash. my team will also suffer because little AJ will want to show we shouldn't have let him go. If morrison was worth 4 mill what does that make aj worth?

Kivver - 30 Oct 2004 18:29 - 117 of 213

What a mad day! bad luck scrip i really felt for the players sounds like you were the best team.

Blues 30 attacks no goals, palace in the blues half once 1 goal, great goal 2 sadly missed well done AJ always a favourite down st andrews. Well done pompey!

Flackwell Vialli - 31 Oct 2004 09:12 - 118 of 213

I'd echo Kivvers sentiments on Soton - Sounds like too much injury time was played from what was said on Sky. Ref must have mixed Wenger and Fergie up.

Just goes to show that "its a funny old game"

Scripophilist - 31 Oct 2004 15:52 - 119 of 213

When ever you play at a big ground you expect a penalty and a last minute goal, always. Therefore you need to be two or three up in the last minute to have any chance of winning IMHO!!

In fact didn't Man U have a penalty and last minute goal last week?

Scripophilist - 31 Oct 2004 20:12 - 122 of 213

Kivver, Good call on Bolton match I see you have advanced another three points.

Scripophilist - 05 Nov 2004 18:05 - 123 of 213

Fair old bunfight in the league one good week could catapult anybody up the league.

Haven't exactly covered myself in glory this afternoon!!

Flackwell Vialli - 07 Nov 2004 09:40 - 125 of 213

Know the feeling, but I can live with it, especially when 2 of my errors were the Arsenal and Liverpool games !

On that note I've got Man U down today for 4 goals !

Kivver - 07 Nov 2004 13:03 - 126 of 213

i've just completely lost my begiiners luck touch. It is pure luck at the mo. Liverpool should have been 6 (inc 2 penalties) up before birmingham scored and im a blues fan. Charltons away form is terrible yet win. I suppose a southampton draw should have been banker but I really thought they would have got there first win this week.

Fulham have not won away all season, will they upset the form book today?

Scripophilist - 07 Nov 2004 20:02 - 127 of 213

You bet, A topsy turvey weekend. Looking at the stats it seems that there was a lot of "Luck" around this weekend.

Kivver - 08 Nov 2004 14:50 - 128 of 213

Not many points scored this week i bet. Can you believe fulham scoring 4 away. Crossley was brilliant against bham in the league cup, so no suprise.
