Half-time results:
Chelsea - Aston Villa 2-0
Man City - Liverpool 2-0
Portsmouth - Stoke 1-0
Tottenham - Hull 0-1

Everything back to front so far...
What do I do, bury my head in embarrasment
or blame Mercury retrograde??

Don't despair, Andrew. Whatever happens, that's a wonderful piece of work you've done there

Thanks for your kind words, Gem. I'm very pleased for you that ManU are back on form

West Ham 1 - 3 Bolton
I played safe today and went with all faves, so I got this result wrong. However, I did note Mars (L4) partile trine POF for Bolton. I have quite a long list now of games with this testimony producing victories and outranking other testimonies.

I may be doing badly on the footie this weekend, but I did back the winner of the Arc de Triomphe this afternoon!

End results:
Chelsea - Aston Villa 2-0 (2-0)
Man City - Liverpool 2-3 (2-0)
Portsmouth - Stoke 2-1 (1-0)
Tottenham - Hull 0-1 (0-1)

Here's an emoticon I hardly every got to use!

Well, change the order of Portsmouth-Stoke (Iron-Lead) and Tottenham-Hull (Lead-Bronze) saying that the latter game ranks higher than the former and should be judged by the 5th and not the 7th, then the total result is not too bad. But then none of these games offered any suprizes - the favourites won in every game. The chart was radical.

I guess it's just food for thought...

the favourites won in every game

Tottenham lost and the bookies had them as odds-on faves, although I was rather surprised given both teams' recent performances.

Did anyone go for a draw in the Everton-N'castle game?

I didn't!

So yet another of my predictions got ruined by a bookie with a defective eyesight!!

But the method for measuring up the matches according to the planetary metals was not all that bad... (?)

Well, I finally get my day at the top of the Skyscript league (even if it is only because my surname comes before Susie's). Still, why should she go first when she sneaks off sipping sangria??

I can't pretend I was paying too much attention to the football today, but I got the right scores for the Chelsea and Portsmouth games so the w/end has gone well overall.

We can all chill out again now (until next weekend).

Well, Deb, you are now top of the Skyscript League in your own right, with Susie one point behind you. You are both doing very well I'm going to post something about this on the Take Part thread since it's a bit off-topic here.

Nor did I, but perhaps we should have taken notice of Gem's analysis which made it pretty clear that the faves wouldn't win. Well done, Gem

Absolutely!

Did anyone go for a draw in the Everton-N'castle game?

I did because of the reasons given earlier, I thought Everton couldn't win and neither could NC as signified by the Moon, which was conjunct Pluto.

However I went for W Ham too. Didn't think Mars (L4) partile trine POF was a strong testimony...

Just seen your post above, Ficina. Thank you

OK - here are next weekends football matches:

Sun verses Moon
Moon verses Jupiter
Venus verses Saturn
& Saturn verses Uranus...

Susie, you might want to consider tightening orbs for combustion in these types of charts. The orb in the Blackburn/ManU chart was 5 degs and in the West Ham/Bolton chart it was 3 degs, yet the away teams still won. In his book, John Frawley suggests 2 degs, but I've found that teams have won even when their sigs are combust within 1 or 2 degs. However, when they are combust within 2 degs and retro they generally lose. In all cases, other testimonies have to be taken into consideration too of course.

Thanks Ficina

You're right - I need to bolt down these orbs somewhat. Just that I thought approaching Sun backwards was crippling enough, but evidently not
