*digs out atlas*...

Well, being called a caper is not the worst I guess! I'm from a town called Leixlip which is a wee bit difficult to abreviate into anything, so because I am from outside Dublin, I just get called a Culchie instead, like the rest of non-Dublin residents!
 
good luck finding it... but it is a very beatufiul place which everyone should visit sometime in thier life.

actually the island is mostly populated with irish and scottish immegrants and we have quite a rich celtic heritage here.

Well, I fucked up on all my score predictions I think! But UTD won so that's good!

I don't think I did very well either bloody Defoe cost me two points, damn Tottenham good for nothing.

Not a bad game at the Bridge and credit to Palace for not putting 11 men behind the ball all game (Tottenham, Man United, Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa, Blackburn please take note).

To be honest Palace didn't look a bad outfit at times apart from occassional comedy defending (I couldn't cheer our third goal today I was too busy laughing, reminded me of Le Tissier's a few years ago agains Taibi at Cold Trafford)

Tarquin - where have u already seen the highlights?! I know Sky show stuff before MOTD, but not yet surely?!

Sorry, I went to the game, I'm a Season Ticket holder.
I think Sky start showing at 2030 don't they? And then their highlights for every game start at 2230 and go on until about 0330 I think.
 
aardvark, i guess your man utd fan right? i've seen them in milan, i was hoping they'd have won, but 0-1 0-1 and out. actually i have the feeling united is becoming weaker, i don't know, what do you think? maybe time for sir alex to go?

Is the ol'Divsion 1 talk Allowed in here.....
Looks like good old Sunderland are coming back up this year! :dance:

Good to see it being referred to as Division One. Not a subject I am an expert on but I go and watch Reading now and again, so fire away. I tipped Sunderland to go up last year so I'm not that surprised to see them up there especially as it is often the case that the club who get robbed in the Playoffs go up the following year.
 
Some important questions raised by today's games:
Do we think Liverpool are now favourites for the final Champions League place?
Will Villa ever beat Birmingham?
And what does happen to Middlesbrough after they've played in Europe?

The Milan games were not good, that's true. But i've still got faith in Fergie, even tho others havent. People are saying he doesnt make good choices in new players anymore. But *cough* - Rooney / Heinze this season, both fantastic buys. And with Ronaldo developing, and Giggsy just about to sign a 3 yr deal, we'll be back next season. As will Sir Alex. Hopefully to reclaim the title. Tho the 1 thing we DO lack, is a decent keeper.
If only Chelsea would let us have Cudicini!!! Or Italy's own Buffon.....:drool:
 
First week results....

Despite protestations, aardvark had a very formidalbe weekened of predictions. I feel a little guilty.. actually, I dont. Have counted and verified the weeks results and the following standings after the first week are as follows (p.s. remember its a marathon not a sprint!)
