In fairness, he did far better after his time out injured than before. Still, time for Tim to move on.

Rock bottom.

I wouldn't put too much store in that. We finished one point behind Palace because they scored late in their game. In effect, three teams were tied for 10th. More relevant might be that there have been four bunches of teams this year: the leading pack, the chasers, the mid-tables, and the relegation contenders. This season, we've been among the mid-tables. Last year, we were chasers. Edit: kant spill

Based on what I read at the BBC website. Stated that he drew blood. Edit - just looked at other sites. It seems he stamped him on the thigh and then kneed him in the head. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11627384/Marouane-Fellaini-sent-off-for-horror-tackle-with-Manchester-United.html

Nah. Just heard you get to represent us in the pre-qualifying round - away to the Lviv Luvvies in Ukraine.

Just goes to show just how incredibly well we did last season.

Ultimately, that's why you won!

Many thanks, Mike, for running MotM all this season. That must make you MotF.

Most of it is automated in a spreadsheet. It takes me about 20 minutes to then sort and adjust the formatting. Not a big deal.

What I'm suggesting is not that we all submit the same answer (the average) but that we adjust our predictions to be closer to the average. That should be enough.

For 10 points, you needed the correct score and the correct first Everton scorer You scored 10 away to Man United Deacs, TonkaRoost, and I all scored 10 at home to West Ham MillwallForever and you scored 10 away to Crystal Palace I scored 10 at home to Burnley. For 8 points, you needed the correct score and predict no Everton scorer Deacs scored 8 away to Chelsea Deacs and TonkaRoost scored 8 away to Arsenal Chalkpie and Rusty scored 8 away to Stoke. I can't upload a file, but I can send you my final spreadsheet with all the weekly results.

Stamping a player in the groin. For some things, there should be double-reds.

Worst defeat since 1954. Bye bye, Brenda.

I thought Galloway was MotM for some last week? He doesn't show in the season's totals.

Note how the Forum Average won in all categories. The longer the game went on, the more certain it was becoming that the Forum Average would win out. This proves a theory known as the "Wisdom of Crowds." For example, if you see that game at a fair where you must estimate the number of marbles in a jar, glance at all the entries, add them up, find the average, and make that your prediction. Almost always, you will win. Apparently, a few decade ago, the navy was trying to find the location of a wrecked submarine somewhere in the Atlantic. They asked about ten experts to make their predictions. When they looked at the location representing the average of the predicted coordinates, the submarine was found less than a mile away. It's a surprising but predictable phenomenon. So, this is my cunning plan for next year's inter-forum challenge. Let's all make our predictions in a forum that can be viewed by members only. I'll calculate the average prediction. Then we'll adjust our individual predictions so they are closer to the average. If we do that, I feel confident we'll win. Any takers? Of course, my problem is that, next season, everyone will wait until one minute before kickoff to make their predictions - so they can choose the average of everyone else's.!!!

Final scores for the season! For the final game, Deacs was the only one to predict a Spurs win and the only one to score 3 points. For the month, I just managed to retain my lead over Deacs (by a single point). For the season, Romey is the champion, holding off a late challenge from TonkaRoost. For points per game, TonkaRoost won out, with Deacs beating out Romey for second. Well done to all.

Thank goodness Distin is not starting! If we want to give him a final hurrah, bring him on at 80 minutes.

Why would they have to do it for others? It's strictly a business decision, not a donation. Each case would be judged on its merits.

I'd like to see Rangers go up - if only to see them be hammered by the other teams and relegated immediately.

But this is very different. The city of Liverpool looks to gain a lucrative income from a new Everton stadium. In most cities here in the US, the financial return to the local economy can be twenty years or less. When a city refuses, the team uproots and moves to a city that will build a stadium. That won't happen with Everton, of course, but the mayor of the city is cutting his nose to spite his face by refusing to consider funding a new stadium. Sorry to say it, but I don't think the city will gain that much more income by buying you a new house - unless it becomes a wonderful tourist attraction that attracts many thousands. Be creative. What can you do for that to happen?

"...and Lennon ghosts in behind the Spurs defense to score. His spirit in this game has been admirable."

New Zealand playing well against England, or is it England playing poorly against New Zealand? Either way, things looking good for the Kiwis right now.

Everton 3-2 Spurs Lukaku

Rolls? Mini? Ford Fiesta? I thought we were talking about Charlie Austin.

Just read the Kenny article and noted how Howard Kendall's team had finished 13th. A little context and history may take the edge off the disappointment of finishing 10th or 11th.
