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!

Username is ptholden, logon scabbers and I got the score completely wrong tonite, so a poor start, mind you who would expect Portsmouth to score 4 goals in one match!?

Got you in the table now! I started late last season but made up ground all the way through. You are not that far adrift. A few decent results and you will be well up there.

Scripophilist - 01 Sep 2004 15:39 - 38 of 213

As a Southampton fan I can safely say this is one of the most bizarre starts to a season I can ever remember. What ever next.

Kivver - 01 Sep 2004 17:08 - 39 of 213

Told you that Rupert Lowe was the problem. He really has gone off his rocker!! Or is it Beattie and Phillips hit the ball over the bar so much he ought to get a rugby coach in lol. 'oh when the saints go mauling in'.

Scripophilist - 01 Sep 2004 17:12 - 40 of 213

I think we should adopt "Swing Lowe" as our chant.

Kivver - 01 Sep 2004 22:27 - 41 of 213

lol, swing him high more like.

If you guys don't mind a late entrant just registered.

CFC supporter - Registered as Carefree.

My target for the season is simply to beat that smug g*t Lawro. Judging his knowledge of football, 10 weeks of posting should be enough.

Scripophilist - 04 Sep 2004 20:40 - 43 of 213

Can't seem to get it to recognise your nickname, you may have another log on name or the nickname is case sensitive.

Flackwell Vialli - 05 Sep 2004 09:04 - 44 of 213

Scrip - Just logged in to check - My nickname is Carefree and incredibly without kicking a ball I've got 13 points - Lawro has no chance !

Do I need to register in your league as the system has defaulted me to my own league ?

Scripophilist - 08 Sep 2004 20:41 - 45 of 213

Wales match is crazy tonight the ref is bonkers. Don't think I have ever seen anything like it!! Thanks to DeFoe I am well up on the England match and it's only half time!! Have greened up in case England mess up. Now I can "relax" for the rest of the match. If an England fan can do such a thing nowadays.

Scrip,

Watched most of the England Game, but had to keep switching over to see how many more players that lunatic had sent off!! Great result for NI and England though. England, however look good going forward, with the exception of Owen, who really is nothing like the player he was, but look v dodgy at the back sometimes. Same old England.

Whatever, a win is a win and judging by how poorly Wales played and defended against 9 men, roll on Old Trafford.

England never seem to inspire you with confidence do they? But based upon what I have seen of the others in the qualifying group I can't see England not qualifying.

ptholden - 09 Sep 2004 09:05 - 48 of 213

The Match Odds table you have posted (44/46). What does all that mean?

PTH

Scripophilist - 09 Sep 2004 10:20 - 49 of 213

It means that at half time I had worked a position that meant I would win 574 whatever happened.

ptholden - 09 Sep 2004 10:40 - 50 of 213

Scrip,

Whilst delighted you came out on top, you haven't really answered the question!!

Scripophilist - 09 Sep 2004 12:56 - 51 of 213

Sorry mis-interpreted the request!!

The table you see are the odds at half time in this match. In the back column poland are 16-1 to win the match, England 1.36 to 1. If you divide one by digital odds you get the implied probability so 1/1.36=73.5%

If you lay an event you are saying that it will not happen so I could lay England at half time and the odds would have swung in my favour when the polish equalised. The odds jumped back up to around 2 when the Polish goal went in.

ptholden - 09 Sep 2004 13:11 - 52 of 213

Thanks Scrip
