So, Daniel was right about Finger Boy winning, but a poor race for McLaren means that nobody gets the ribbon this time. Daniel can do the next one. |

Football (soccer) again, and there's plenty of football league matches taking place on Saturday...but this time we're going to focus on the Coca Cola Championship. This link shows the current table, and also the form of each team over their last 10 games. Clicking on a team name takes you to their page for a closer look. Here's the matches: Crystal Palace v Millwall Birmingham v Leicester Bolton v Bristol City Brighton v Middlesbrough Charlton v Barnsley Derby v Blackburn Huddersfield v Wolves Hull v Ipswich Nottm Forest v Cardiff Watford v Peterborough Burnley v Blackpool Choose 6 of the matches to predict. If you correctly guess the winner of the match or correctly guess the result as a draw, you get 1 points. If you correctly guess the exact score, you get and extra 2 points (3 in total). In the unlikely situation that someone gets the maximum score of 18 points, they get 100 posts. If someone gets more than 14 points, they get 50 posts. Anyone who gets to 10 points will get a yellow ribbon .Anyone who scores over 6 points gets 30 posts. Anyone who scores over 3 points gets 10 posts. Here's my predictions: Crystal Palace 3 - 1 Millwall Birmingham 0 - 1 Leicester Charlton 2 - 2 Barnsley Huddersfield 1 - 2 Wolves Hull 2 - 0 Ipswich Watford 2 - 1 Peterborough Edited by Pyrite, Oct 17 2012, 11:52 AM.

So no ribbons this time around. CJ can host the next round, since I hosted this one. |

That's a pretty big risk. Would Webber be allowed to win ?

Here are the full race results: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-results/5955/race-2012-indian-formula-1-grand-prix/ . The top three are as follows: 1) Sebastian Vettel ![]() 2) Fernando Alonso ![]() 3) Mark Webber ![]() That matches my predicted top three. At last - a Yellow Ribbon has been awarded in this contest !!!!Now, next up is tennis - specifically, the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris. The full drawsheet is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_BNP_Paribas_Masters_%E2%80%93_Singles . The 16 seeded players each receive a bye into the second round - I want you to predict which ones will make it into the third round (if you want, just list the ones you think won't make it - it'll probably be easier ). Prizes are as follows: At least 8 correct: 5 posts At least 12 collect: 10 posts At least 13 correct: 15 posts At least 14 correct: 20 posts At least 15 correct: 30 posts All 16 correct: 50 posts + a Yellow Ribbon. My prediction is that all of the seeds will make it through, with the following exceptions: Janko Tipsarević (8) Juan Mónaco (9) Marin Čilić (13)

The following seeds are not in the Third Round - and it's not what I'd been expecting: Roger Federer (1) [withdrew] Novak Djokovic (2) John Isner (10) Richard Gasquet (12) Marin Čilić (13)So, no Federer, no Nadal, and no Djokovic. I shouldn't have expected people to predict that! Anyway, we each got 10 out of 16 right, so it's a draw. I'll let anybody host the next round. |

Back to football (with a twist this time). England are taking on Sweden on the 14th of November. I want you to predict two things: the overall result of the match and the number of players that make their England debut in the match (you don't have to specify who). Here are the players who could make their debuts against Sweden: Goalkeepers Fraser Forster (currently plays for Celtic) Defenders Steven Caulker (currently plays for Tottenham) Ryan Shawcross (currently plays for Stoke) Carl Jenkinson (currently plays for Arsenal) Midfielders Leon Osman (currently plays for Everton) Raheem Sterling (currently plays for Liverpool) Forwards Wilfred Zaha (currently plays for Crystal Palace) So a total of 7 who could possibly make their debuts. My predictions: England 2 - 1 Sweden , with all 7 players making their debuts.

The result was actually: Sweden 4 - 2 England (with Ibrahimovic scoring all 4 Sweden goals, I might add)6 of the players made their debuts (all but Forster, the goalkeeper). Therefore CJ wins the round. |

Yep - I'm archiving this, due to a lack of interest and a lack of sport. |
