After a closely fought first minute, Bayern Munich will pound 10 and later 9 man Chelski so bad it will hurt, winning only 4-1 thanks to about 127 saves from Cech who will later not recall any of it.

Bayern take the lead early in the match and chelsea who initially were setup quite defensively pull level thru a frank lampard penalty. Drogba scores mid way thru second half and with bayern pressing forward torres who had earlier come off the bench breaks away to score the third

Just a reminder, we are already well into "late" time where the scoring dog takes a little nip at your ankle, then after 0300 we enter 24h of "late late" time where the scoring dog takes a big bite out of your leg. After that, we go into "prohibited time" where none may enter because scoring dog is now inside the house barking very loud.

U have been warned. Once the dreaded table of entries appears, the fates of all are sealed. Isn't this contest fun?

Grrrowl.

come on lads or the dog could be in your bed next !!! :)

_______________________________________________________

* late penalties apply (10% if score >60)

Football scores are listed Bayern-Chelsea and * indicates extra time, ** for penalty kicks and score in that case was to be 0-0 before kicks. Some other scores for teams that were beaten earlier have been left out of the table, one prediction says "B" from "ABC" no score ventured. The consensus for the football score is based on averages after revising -2 to zero for one prediction. The average score suggested was just about 3-1 for BM.

As for the weather in May, the consensus seems to be cool, rather cloudy but near normal for rainfall. Some idea of how the second half of the month might go can be seen in the predicted maxima, these vary quite widely.

After this point, no further forecasts will count in contest.

Sponge Bob

Looks like MT will bag the first scoring points this month with his Darkmanesque low prediction of -4.4 ...that in Ballyhaise I suspect. Don't ever remember -4.4 in May in Ireland so that will be some class of a record if it comes off.

M.T. Cranium

It's the only thing that will be coming off, I would suspect. :eek:
