Just wanted to say a big word of thanks and appreciation to Chonabot for investing so much of your time in keeping us all up-to-date with the points table................. and I don´t care what everyone else is calling you behind your back (no...just a little joke...), you´re doing a great job (although it´s about time you learned to evaluate what I MEANT to predict and not be put off by what I actually wrote.............would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!).

Hear-Hear!

Second division is ok with me mate, as i expect tots is quite happy there also, we both know nothing whatsoever about football, because we live in the west country where they play a mans game called rugby

[ThaiPauly]

I would also like to add my thanks to Chon for organising this competition.

It really is great fun.

I still have not got ONE prediction correct although I got all last nights outcomes correct, I am still without that elusive CORRECT RESULT

In fact I have only got 3 oucomes wrong, hence my reasonable position....at least I am above Chuchock now and if I can finish higher than him then I will be happy

I would NEVER hear the last of it if he beat me

Maybee tonights the night for a correct prediction????

[Sing_Sling]

Nongwahyay – 25

31. Sing_Sling - 23

Well, Nongwahay, I did tell you you'd have a fight on your hands for the top bottom spot!

[ProfessorFart]

'Kin 'Ell! I'm useless at this game.............

[ThaiPauly]

Where is Lampard?

I am surprised hes not playing !!

[ProfessorFart]

Me too TP! I thought this would have been right up his alley!

I'll add my thanks to Chon as well! Sterling work mate!

[Nongwahyay]

OK Sing Sling - thanks for the bribe...... have told my wife to buy herself something nice with it - the long haul up to a Champions League position has begun................ and I have no problem with revealing my secret here and now............. I got my wife to help we with my new predictions (she´s a clever Isaan lady......and knows her onions when it comes to football) - I hope I haven´t disqualified myself now!!!!!!!! And in case any of you see the huge crowd watching the game on a huge screen in front of the Brandenburg Gate here in Berlin this evening on TV, I´m the one wearing the England t-shirt and base-cap.......................................my wife is supporting Australia (??????????)

Hi.

Thanks for organising the league , lots of fun.

I'm running the same league at work and a cheeky Thai guy went and predicted 1-0 for every match and stormed to the top with 49points from 4 correct results (Eng -Par, Hol-Serb, Port - Ang, Bra- Croatia) in the first round! ..

The format seems to reward conservative punting a bit too much.

Do you have a spreadsheet to calculate the scores btw?? ..

[Jockstar]

24 Jockstar – 32

Man thats not very good. Just aswell i dont gamble very often.

[Nongwahyay]

Jockstar - is it true that no Scot worth his kilt is supporting England, but rather Trinidad and Tobago????? Saw a few Scots on Skynews last week who claimed this to be the case......

No need for the Thanks guys , it's a laugh

I'll try and send you a spreadsheet today Simmo. The compo we're having at work is a big one , 170 people involved , £10 each , so the first prize is massive. Leader has about 65 points so far, a bird!

[OneeyedJohn]

Well needed or not, u still deserve them.

This compo has added an extra dimension to watching the games, checking the results and peoples comments really is fun

R u doing as well at work as in this one ?????????????

Must be at least a Grand to the winner.

[Jockstar]

For sure mate. For sure. Trinadad and Tobago. Do you know they have a player called Jason Scotland playing for them?

[mrbojangles]

also nice predicting from MrBojangles who scored a whopping 10 points for the Tunisia v Saudi match , nice!

10 . MrBojangles – 39

Cheers Chon boy, i needed it though to save embarassment Can't believe Scouse has jumped to 3rd. What does he know about football, he's a Liverpool fan for fcuks sake

And I'm still losing/winning lowest? Sigh

It's not important how many matches you predict correctly but WHICH teams you over/underestimate. If you totally overestimate your team (England ) but get a Brazil win correct you should reconsider...

If you are confident with your team but dont completely overestimate them and your team can even make it up to their own standarts (eg. Germany :D ), you may go wrong once you follow your heart and predict against Brazil or whoever...

Dont worry, I knew it right from the start that should there be more than a dozend people in the compo I wont make it up to the top ten that easily.

Cheers

I´ve been reading that you lads in Thailand are having trouble watching the games on thai TV, because programmes on the Royal Family etc are being shown instead. My advice to you all is.............................. you should have taken a 4-week holiday in Europe!!!!!!!!

Well.....I´m just about to put on my England t-shirt and basecap and go on down to the Brandenburg Gate with my wife to watch the match on the huge screens they have set up there. Yesterday there were 250.000 at the German game................... there are a lot of Brits in Berlin at the moment...but I don´t expect there´ll be quite the same squeeze this evening..........I´m hoping for a 2-0 win to rocket me up the table............

No problems here in smooth-sailing Singapore, of course, but I've had friends and colleagues in Thailand foaming at the mouth about the coverage . . .
