    BBC is acting up today ... on the website for ages it had Liverpool being up 2.1 when they were losing 2.1 ...

    now it says Chelsea won 5/0 when they did so 4/0 ....

    More likely some dyslexic typist putting in the wrong scores!

    strange thing is ....

    it said FT Bolton 0 - 3 Chelsea .... then 0 - 2 ... then 0 - 5 ...

    they were always spot on ... it still says 5-0 now,

    the worst thing was saying Liverpool were up 2 - 1 for so long !!!

    i would have been really pissed if i was a liverpool fan, quite unprofessional of the BBC ... if it is incompetence rather then some worm ...

    Sounds like they have a soccer score changing virus.

    Very common these days.

    OP, you might want to use spoilers, some people would not like to see the results until MOTD.

    Noticed it too OP

    It's just a error, with hundreds of results every week it's bound to happen now and again.
    It'll be corrected shortly
