So who are our teams? Newcastle, Villa, Spurs, Everton and Saints? Pretty mixed weekend so far. We played well today; 4-1 was nothing like a fair reflection on the day.

Sorry, and Arsenal!! Good result for you lot yesterday.

Tomorrow is Spurs-Villa at WHL. Those days are never good for us, so I'm now looking at that as our silver lining for this stupid miserable separation.

Spurs brought home last season's 4-4 debacle on DVD (Villa should have killed them but fell apart and they tied it up in the last moments of the game). He can't understand why I don't want to watch it!

For some reason I thought Damian was the Pompey fan and he would be crying in his beer after last weekend - but I guess he Southampton

Although I was crying in my beer because David James is my goalie in Fantasy Football

Is anyone up for a bit of VJ footie predictions? Here's how it would work: basically, I make a list of each of the teams on this thread's fixtures for the week. So far, that would be the games involving Saints, P***ey, Newcastle, Arsenal, Rangers, Raith Rovers, Aston Villa, Sheff Utd, and Everton.

The scoring works as follows:

5pts - exact correct score (i.e. you predict a game ands 2-2 and it does)

3pts - correct result within a 1 goal range (not sure that I've worded that correctly but I mean you predict a game ends 2-1, and it ends 1-0 or 3-2)

2pts - all other correct forecasts

Absolutely ####### all at the end of the season prize-wise, but bragging rights as VJ United Kingdom forum footie score prediction champ!

Anyone up for it?
