I haven't won a Cup yet. Not in this competition, anyways. :(

Got my pics in, but haven't had a chance to check and see how well I've done.

Both of those tasks, mind you, are a bit tougher theses days, granted that we're still in the moving and unpacking process at our new house, and our internet access, for the moment, is quite limited...

Oh, and in Bacchus Marsh, I can actually dig up some fresh carrots in the nearby orchards. :p

In honor of bagging a hatful of Cup Wins, I'm updating the Premiership Own Goals Tally.

After their blazing start in this category (see below), Leicester runs away with the "I Wouldn't Put It Past You" Award <groan> as the first side to turn the own goal hat trick. In fact, they're on their way to a second hatful.

Season Leaders: Own Goals (Premiership Matches Only)

4 Leicester
2 Man City
2 Man Utd
2 Middlesborough
1 8 others

Here's an image of dedication: BT2K1 off in rural Victoria, making the five-mile trek each week to the only place around with Internet access, just to submit the EPLPL picks. Wow!

...or maybe "Bacchus Marsh" just sounds more remote than it really is ...

It's not that bad, OG3. :)

Regional Victoria, yes-- but barely in an area known as "the bush". However, I am surviving nowadays with pre-paid dial-up (the relatively slow speed of 52000 bps is driving me nuts, trustme on this), so I'm able to get onto my laptop once a day or once every couple of days.

And we're having our broadband installed at the house here on Monday, and I should be fully operational in that regard by the end of next week.

However, I am trying to keep in touch, even if the seemingly constant task of unpacking boxes and putting together new furnishings does seem to cut into my internet time. :eek:

Tree,

Quick question for you: when we are predicting the result of Carling Cup matches, are we predicting the result at the end of regulation time, or the final result after overtime, if any?

Thanks, NoSix

OK, then let me cut to the chase and ask you a question I'm pretty sure you didn't answer 4 months ago:

Will Arsenal win tomorrow with the *#*#*#*#*#*# squad Wenger is bringing with him to Middlesbrough?

Great! Then OG3 WILL have time to FedEx me that monkey...





...got the dart and dart board ready.

Whoa, hold on a second, you use EITHER the monkey OR the dartboard. Last time I brought them both out together, it took two weeks to clean up the mess. (Not to mention that Tree's input page doesn't allow for predictions of 20-19...that monkey is a helluva darts player.)

The dartboard works especially well for Liverpool's matches, the monkey for Spurs', and as for Man City's, well nothing seems to help me pick those...:(

Hey, did anyone out there pick Wolves over ManU?

Congrats on three top tens in a row, and your return to the top of the table!

Meanwhile, I'm doing what tortoises do...

Of course today I had predicted Birmingham 0:1 Newcastle - thanks, Stern, buddy.
