Great finish by Larsson.

 

[wr50l]

Celebrating Celtic goals ... oh what gambling has done to me.

 

[Obst]

Gonna be a very long season for the Rangers.

 

[Obst]

New York or Texas?

Probably both :rolleyes1:

 

[Sharkweather]

Well my predictions were shit so far.

 

[wr50l]

Blackburn 1 Wolves 2*
Fulham 2 Villa 2
Liverpool 2 Sunderland 0*
QPR 0 Bolton 1
Wigan 1 Norwich 1

No bad so far.

 

[1ke]

Yea, I sucked bad so far. That Norwich goal did me in.

Do we get bonus points for the Chips? I put the insurance chip on the Fulham match and got it exactly right.

Banker = x2 points
Insurance = Maximum point loss is 0

 

[Obst]

Wrong outcome -10
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

Correct outcome but wrong goal difference +10
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 4 - Chelsea 2

Correct outcome and correct goal difference +15
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 1 and the result is Arsenal 3 - Chelsea 2

The draw predicted correctly but incorrect result +20
Example: You predict Arsenal 2 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1

Correct result +30
Example: You predict Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2 and the result is Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

Correct Banker Placement x2 or x3
If you place the Banker Chip on any correct outcome your points score for that fixture is multiplied. If a fixture contains a team that finished within the top 4 league places in the previous Gameweek the multiplier will be x2 otherwise it will be x3.

Correct Insurance Placement 0
Example: If you placed your Insurance chip on a fixture whose outcome you predicted incorrectly then the worst you can score is 0.

Banker Bonus
If you place your Banker correctly your Banker Bonus for the following week is credited with +5 points up to a maximum of +20. If you place your Banker incorrectly, your Banker Bonus is reset to zero for the following week. If you decide not to play your Banker your bonus will be protected but you will not score your bonus for that Gameweek.
On correct outcome the Banker Bonus works as follows:
Wk0 0
Wk1 +5
Wk2 +10
Wk3 +15
Wk4 (maximum) +20
Wk5 (maximum) +20

LOL at Joey Barton being in the starting 11.

Trying to recapture that magic.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Good enough, for now.

 

[wr50l]

Good enough, for now.

LOLWUT yer gettin pumped.

 

[FirstTimer]

I have DirecTv. What's the best option to add on to my Choice Xtra package to get the best soccer set up for me?

 

[BigHouseUSA]

LOLWUT yer gettin pumped.

Yes.

 

[wr50l]

How about no?

Barton off, Gervinho yellow more like. That's shambolic.

 

[Bigpapa42]

Wow, that was absolutely bullshit by Barton. How the fuck is that deserving of a redcard? Clear dive by Gervinho and then Barton reacts to do something far worse?

 

[Lanteri]

lol, that's awful officiating right there.

 

[Bigpapa42]

Barton instigates the entire thing by going after Gervinho, then pretends he got punched. Classy.

Shit like that makes me not want to even bother with the EPL anymore, to be honest. I'd rather watch Bundesliga...

 

[Sharkweather]

I have DirecTv. What's the best option to add on to my Choice Xtra package to get the best soccer set up for me?

Fox Soccer Channel? No idea since I've never had DirecTV, but that is a solid channel to have.

 

[wr50l]

The irony of Barton complaining of a dive then doing it five seconds later is surely too complicated for his pea-brain to comprehend.

And to get sent off for defending yourself while being ragdolled by a violent criminal as well ...

Woe is me.
