Discounted Pompey's points deduction from the calculations...

Er - cant be arsed to read back and see what he has done but in the interest of a fair trial - yeah OK disqualified.

[SLAMMED]

I entered 13 days after the deadline, even though it was still a good 4 weeks before the first game of the season.

[Ian Royal]

RESULT!

[SLAMMED]

Must be a bit of a hollow victory though Ian

[parky]

No but it does mean I'm not relegated if SLAMMED is disqualified.

[The Rouge]

Its like the NFL - there is no relegation. You are the Miami Dolphins.

[SLAMMED]

Will we be doing the Premier League this season?

[The Rouge]

Maybe both...

Victory would mean he'd won something. I guess I'll have a pop at this this year. When's the deadline going to be?

[parky]

Great stuff, third pick in the draft then.

[Ian Royal]

Must be a bit of a hollow victory though Ian

but, you'll note, a hollow victory still has "victory" in it.


Even if it was still only second by a mile.

Ian, have you to time to be an excel geek and create a tab for every entry - I can regularly supply the prices throughout the season and you can produce a league table..?

Ian, have you to time to be an excel geek and create a tab for every entry - I can regularly supply the prices throughout the season and you can produce a league table..?

What you mean so each person entering has their own worksheet and then a final one for a league table?

What about a data sheet that automatically populates a league table by comparing the difference between predicted points and current league form, posted on here every month?

Coz, apparently I can knock that up in the time between posting this and editing it. Otherwise known as about 10 minutes.

I've got a spreadsheet for this after to talking to Rouge a month or so ago if you want me to use that to provide a league table every so often.

PL
Buy: Reading, Wigan, Utd
Sell: Sunderland, Villa, Liverpool

Championship
Buy: Charlton, Birmingham, Derby
Sell: Bolton, Leicester, Blackburn

Not feeling very confident at all.
