Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 6 (semis) Welcome to Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Semi-finals. We’re into the final week of what has been a memorable World Cup on so many levels. Day one of the Quarter-finals began with France dispatching a Uruguay side weakened by the loss of Edison Cavani. You know when you replace a PSG forward with some bloke who used to play for Middlesbrough that you’re in trouble. Later that day we also said goodbye to Brazil, Neymar described it as ‘the saddest moment of his career’, diddums. England are in a World Cup Semi-final! Wowsers, like many I did not see this just a few short weeks ago, but a comfortable 2-0 win over Sweden on day two of the Quarter-finals and here we are. England’s opponents in the World Cup Semi-final (I have ...[Read More]

Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 4 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 4 – the round of 16. The Group stages ended with a 1-0 defeat for England’s reserves against Belgium’s reserves. Perhaps this was all part of the Gareth Southgate master plan; that is to finish second and secure a place in the ‘easier’ side of the draw, who knows, and quite frankly who cares. The daily rags have an uncanny knack of talking England up or down, depending on how the mood takes them. Talk of who we’ll meet in the Quarters? Jeez, we might not even make them, one game at a time eh lads. Its Columbia (tut!) next, lets hope we can win, if not there will be a certain FF247 writer who will no doubt revel in our demise. On to the winners so far! In Group stage 1 it w...[Read More]

Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 2 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s World Cup Predictions Game 2. We know, we know, Game 1 hasn’t ended yet but it’s time for your Game 2 predictions already.

Cut and paste the fixtures into the comments, add your pr...[Read More]

Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW37 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW37. GW36 started badly for FPL managers and B&P predictors alike. Liverpool couldn’t manage to break down the not-so-mighty Stoke, and all those who had backed Salah to score (first) collectively moaned in unison. The most notable result of the game-week was Palace putting 5 past Leicester without reply. Literally nobody predicted that. I’m pretty sure nobody reads these intro’s but if you do, let me know what sort of things you would like more of next season, as lets face it, you probably all know the scores of the previous game-week without my blathering! GW36 RESULT This week’s big winner was my fellow Chuckle Brother Matt. I can’t even shout fix as the Boss-man (Init) did the number crunching on this...[Read More]

Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW33 Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW33. Every week I write this intro and wonder if anyone actually reads it. I know Init reads it, which is fortunate as last week I was awarding the previous weeks winner a t-shirt, sloppy on my part. It has also been brought to my attention that some of our winners are yet to receive their FF247 t-shirt; sloppy on someone else’s part (I’ll not name names (Rich) but I can’t be held responsible for my delivery boy). Whilst my fellow chuckle brother and I are not responsible for the receiving (or not receiving) of said t-shirts, my apologies non-the less. A 1-0 win for the Toon was surprisingly not my favourite result of the weekend. No, that honour goes to Burnley’s 2-1 win over West Brom. Not that I have anythi...[Read More]
