"Everton vs Spurs on the opening day of the season? You great big twatcock," we all muttered. "That's the most overtly wrong prediction in the history of the ODFP competition," we correctly noted. To this day, I don't know what you were thinking. Everton vs Spurs, indeed. Ridiculous. I wonder if they did play each other on the opening day of that season. -- Mike http://theheroicartoflosing.wordpress.com/

How are you? You're looking well. x Birmingham vs Liverpool Bolton vs Wolves Chelsea vs Stoke City Everton vs Fulham Manchester United vs Blackpool Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Tottenham vs Blackburn West Brom vs Arsenal West Ham vs Manchester City Wigan vs Sunderland You'll all notice that I took into account the FIFA Post World Cup Coefficient when predicting the fixtures. How some of you could forget that is beyond me. Madness. -- Mike http://theheroicartoflosing.wordpress.com/

Not my finest Youksef hour, it has to be said. I could see as soon as I'd posted it that I'd completely spazzed everything up, but you know how it is. You can't change your entry once you've sent it. At least, that might have been one of the rules, if there were rules, which there aren't. > I wonder if they did play each other on the opening day > of that season. I don't even think it really matters. There's no real recovery from a prediction as wrong as that, even if it turns out to be right. -- Joe "I am the fat puddin', but a single puddingness" - Vicky Conlan
