There's bad luck and very bad luck. If football games lasted 85 minutes,
@paulie8290 would have scored seven points in the Prediction League last week. As it is transpired, three goals in each of his three predicted games ruined his weekend. Seven points became zero points. I have a great deal of empathy for
@paulie8290. I am sure that if football games lasted 250 minutes, my three predictions would have come up trumps. There's no doubting that the Prediction League is a tough place. Multi-million superstar teams like
@flyingkiwiDK and
@oohaahmortimer are having to slum it in the Championship this season after hogging the top two spots in the Premier League last season. And, then you have to look at competitors like
@AFKABartram, who was seen shopping for a new jumper so that he could use an older jumper as a goalpost in Charlton Park.
@paulie8290, chin up, mate. Success is around the corner and if the brown envelope arrives in my post in time, I am sure we can help your league position a bit. Anyway, this week's games will not be scored on 85 minutes, I'm afraid, so choose your three predictions based on the score after 90 minutes plus any added time.
