With 20 games to choose from this week, what could be easier than picking three correct scores? There are eight FA Cup ties on the coupon this week and one of those is the banker home win for Charlton against Havant & Waterlooville. Or, is it a banker? Is there a nagging doubt that it might all go wrong? If the FA Cup is too risky, there are still plenty of choices. High-flying teams such as Liverpool and Man City are there or, if you prefer, to look overseas, there is the Milan derby - I wonder what the Italian for 'derby' is. So, good luck at Week 12, which takes the Prediction League into the second third of the season. You can borrow any of my excuses if it all goes pear-shaped. Try these:
- Minnows upset xxx
- Man Utd are so unpredictable
- How the hell did Havant & Waterlooville score three with 4% possession?
- !?**!*? Palace
