(Otherwise there's a lot of maths and adding up if each individual vote gets 0,1 or 3 points)

I suppose we shall just have to wait and see!
You may be right after all. The Sea By Moonlight only says to pick one or other of the teams - Home or Away. Not being too familiar with the world of football, the most natural place for me to put a draw is on the team level.

I'll wait for The Sea By Moonlight's reply before modifying my choices.

I'm not a football fan either, this is far more my cup of tea even if I'm not sure if I'm coming or going with it :lol:

I must say I'm getting quite excited about this, wondering what the results will be! Hope more people take part! :D

Yes, it is a pity. Mind you, not many people took part so the results wouldn't really have meant much!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

All right, that's it. I'm going to fly into a rage, then go into a sulk and retreat to my private island with Timmy the dog. :mrgreen: :wink:
