Goalie takes it Nov. 25, 2006

Scott Carson, goalkeeper, from Cleator Moor, was judged Cumbria’s sportsperson of the year for 2006, ahead of motor racers, rugby players, squash, tennis, cyclists, fell runners, wrestlers, orienteers, athletes, swimmers, bowlers, cricketers, flirters… and the rest, including golfers.

I guessed Scott would win it (ahead of Malcolm Wilson and rally team).

My judgement skills are obviously ‘in’… so I am proceeding to do the Littlewoods pools today. I forecast draws at 11 games throughout the English and Scottish Leagues (won’t tell you them because it’s frankly quite boring hoping a match is drawn, unless like Watford it’s better than a defeat).

But I did also predict all 10 Premiership matches :
Aston Villa 2 Middlesbrough 0 ; Bolton 1 Arsenal 1 ; Charlton 0 Everton 2; Fulham 1 Reading 1; Liverpool 3 Man City 0; Man Utd 2 Chelsea 2; Newcastle 1 Portsmouth 1; Tottenham 2 Wigan 2; Watford 2 Blackburn 1; West Ham 3 Sheffield United 1.
