Croc of sh!te

Post by Hog »

Hoglette is away from home this week on work experience (in Garsington of all places, only a 1.5 hour each way bus journey from her grandma's in Abingdon!) so she's asked me to post for her. We had a chat and came up with this ...

Choose an answer of (a), (b) or (c) for each question. Each correct (a) scores 1pt, (b) scores 2pts and (c) scores 3pts. However you must choose at least two (a), at least two (b) and at least two (c) amongst your answers with a penalty of minus 8pts for each error if you nominate less than 2 of any.

1. Will Oxford (a) Lose (b) Draw (c) Win?

2. Will Oxford score (a) No goals (b) 1 goal (c) 2 or more goals?

3. Will Oxford concede (a) 2 or more goals (b) 1 goal (c) no goals?

4. Will Constable, Smalley and Kitson score between them (a) no goals (b) 1 goal (c) 2 or more goals?

5. Will Oxford keep a clean sheet in (a) the first half (b) the second half (c) the whole game?

6. Will Oxford's possession be (a) under 47% (b) 47-52% inc (c) 53% or more?

7. How many subs will Oxford use? (a) all 3 (b) 2 (c) 0 or 1 ?

8. At the end of the day where will Oxford be in the table? (a) 9th (b) 8th (c) 7th

9. How many Oxford fans will attend? (a) under 250 (b) 250 - 300 (c) Over 300

TB: Total attendance

* Possession stat as per BBC, away fans attendance as per official site of either club (Oxford first if they're different!) and this question will be void if neither club reports the figure before midnight on matchday

1. (a) Lose
2. (b) 1 goal
3. (a) 2 or more goals

5. None of these! Can I have this as my (c)?! Yes, I'll have this as my (c) however the question is worded/nuanced/interpreted.
6. (b) 47-52%
7. (b) 2
8. (a) 9th
9. (c) Over 300

If I were to win, which I won't, could someone please set the next boot, as I'll be away?
