Every joker played on a Saturday game has failed. Minus 2s all over the place.

[Baggiebob(BBB)]

I was starting to get worried, Bob. Thought you'd done a runner.

Not as much as i was me Lord, but thanks for the concern as all is well now - hopefully.

However a 93rd equaliser on my joker saw me losing 8pts on my prediction of 1-0


PLEASE NOTE: CHANGED MIDD'O V PRESTON TO 1-0

[Lord Snooty]

Whoops! Seven players had a 1-1 draw and were on for a 4 point haul with this afternoon's Coventry/Forest match, until Cov scored in the last minute of injury time, giving Amelia 4 points instead.

[Lord Snooty]

Ain't got time tonight. Will get the results up tomorrow asap.

[Lord Snooty]

Results for Matchday 2: High Flying Birds....... Amelia Chaffinch is top of the tree again. She got the top score for the second week in a row and is now 4 points clear at the top of the fledgling table. Theo had the second highest score and is in joint second with Snooty and Ritchiebaby.
It's been quite a low scoring week, with only SCO getting a correct joker. Everyone else who chose to play the laughing face, got a big fat minus 2.
The Harrogate/Rochdale match was postponed, but the EFL in their wisdom, decided to punish Betty's Boyz for catching covid and send Rochdale through. So there's a point for anybody who had the Dale to progress, despite the game itself being off.
