Well, I must admit Lawro has done well with perfect scores - but on balance it's hard to know if getting seven more results right is better or worse than seven more correct scorelines - surely results are the bread and butter? Correct scores are mostly pot luck - I am of course biased but on balance there is a reason there are systems built around this game and I should have used one, here's what would've happened:

Lawro: 51.5
Tarquin: 53.5

(that's 1 for a result, 3 for a perfect, 2 for a draw result, 1.5 for correct goal difference and -1 for the wrong 'uns)

So yeah, definitely introducing that next season - it's no guarantee I'll win or anything, but the crude system I used was horrifically weighted to perfect scores and completely negated predicting results - which is often more useful, especially for gambling purposes

So I will chalk this little test run up to a draw
