    As a member of the elite group of Games Organisers (part time in your case) there is so much wrong with that comment I dont know where to start:
    1. Your time management skills are clearly lacking - did you not realise that you could have posted your predictions in the tiime it took to write that waffle.
    2. As Trev can confirm winning doesn't come into it. The enjoyment comes from ensuring that your fellow competitors have the sort of pleasurable experience that comes from participating in a fair well run game with regular and timely updates.

    I'd love to stick with my 2-1 home win in every round strategy, but with all the big teams playing away from home it's just not going to work out is it? So here are my predictions:

    Saturday 18th February 2017
    Burnley 1 v 0 Lincoln City
    Huddersfield Town 1 v 2 Manchester City
    Middlesbrough 2 v 0 Oxford United
    Millwall 1 v 2 Leicester City
    Wolverhampton Wanderers 0 v 3 Chelsea
    Sunday 19th February 2017

    Fulham 2 v 1 Tottenham Hotspur
    Blackburn Rovers 1 v 3 Manchester United
    Monday 20th February 2017
    Sutton United 1 v 3 Arsenal

    Yellows - 27

    Dangerous. Changing a policy that has got you so far already.

    There is a difference between not changing, ie an active decision not to change, and simply not updating ie get your finger out you lazy barsteward.

    How do you know that I don't actually have a cunning plan and that I actually know exactly who is in each division already?

    Because only somebody as clever as Baldrick can have a cunning plan and you're too thick to compete with him. :)
