I've replied, but contrary to instructions, I could not reply to everyone in one go as yahoo doesn't seem to allow it.

Anyway, count me in.

You can reply to everyone on Yahoo. On the reply button there should be a little arrow on the right. Click on that and you'll have the option of replying to just the sender or everyone.

I'd just like to say, I'm going to win the Chicarella this year.

Yeah, bitches! So if I'm a few days late posting a table...it's because I'm working hard for my A-levels, OK?!

And if I'm late posting your scores, it's because I don't like you!

New players in the coming weeks
Any new players in the next 3 weeks will be marked separately by Liam for week 2 and by me for weeks 3 & 4.

After Week 4.
Two new marking lists will then be compiled after week 4, these will be final, no new players will be accepted after week 4, because they won't have a hope of winning anyway.

Seems to me like Myles is inadvertantly questionning your marking abilities, Micky.

Are you gonna sit there and take that? Stand up for yourself, man!

Myles isn't questioning Micky's marking abilities, as i volunteered to mark the new players in Week 2 a couple of weeks ago while Myles was unable to mark them.

I shall be unable to mark the predictions for the week of Sunday 18th September.

Just booked a week in the sun, as tempted as I was to put it off for the Chicarella championship, it just had to be done.

I'll be marking Snow_Patrol's list for week 3 while he is on holidays.

Enjoy your holiday, Micky, wherever you're off to.

Thailand, if my girlfriend makes it back from her holiday in time for us to jet off on ours.

I've not heard from her all week, and I'm a tad worried.

Hope your gf returns home and save sp .

Btw guys I haven't predicted today, hd gave up on me. Formatting my pc so I wasn't able to predict.

Duffman will not be participating in this seasons predictions but he will be returning as an administrator on 23rd September.

It's cos he knows he's going to get thrashed in them

Erm....i scored 6 points in week 1, and 5 points in week 2 - Shouldn't i be on 11 points ?...

I think the below should correct the error, Juventino. Apologies.

Everyone please check your score - mistakes are much more common at the start of the season, when the list is still unsure.

On that note, no-one marked Micky for this week.
