The Official 2010/11 Premier League Predictathon Thread!!!

[Dan_1981]

As per last years thread, and the more recent World Cup thread, this is the new "Offical 2010/11 Premier League Seasons Predictathon Thread".

I've Happily voulunteered to look after the table and things for the first 5 or 6 weeks.

Format as per usual - scoring the same as last year - awarded 3 points for a correct score prediction, 1 point for a correct result prediction (slightly different to the world cup)

If its OK with everyone else - can we ask for weekly sets of predictions?

EG: Predictions in by Midnight (GMT) on the Friday night for the following 7 days - probably makes things easier than having to do mid week predictions etc. Anything recieved after this isn't counted.

For the weeks i'm looking after things i'll get the table updated once a week at least - although due to shift work I can't guarentee what day this will be.

If you're reading this after the start of the season I have no problems with people joining late - you'll just have to catch up!

Good Luck Everyone!!

First week of predictions runs from Saturday 14th of August, up to Friday the 20th of August and includes the following matches.

Sat 14th:

Tottenham v Man City
Aston Villa v West Ham
Blackburn v Everton
Bolton v Fulham
Sunderland v Birmingham
Wigan v Blackpool
Wolverhampton v Stoke
Chelsea v West Brom

Sun 15th:

Liverpool V Arsenal

Mon 16th:

Manchester United V Newcastle United

There are no midweek fixtures.

Short of emailing the predictions to whoever is looking after things I don't think we can do much about people copying each other can we?

The email would work but does it create more work?

[Dan_1981]

Did anyone do very well? I got a couple of correct results I think, but really need Man Utd to win 3-0 tonight. 1st table on Tuesday morning??

It wasn't the highest of scoring weekends - lets put it like that!

I'm just putting the table together so I should get a final one for this week up either after the game tonight or first thing tomorrow as i'm off work at the moment.

[Dan_1981]

Gents - week one - over and done with.

I wish I could claim to have had a roaring start to the season........ ah well.

Looks like TJK is carrying on from where he left off last year. 4 correct results and 3 spot on scores!



Lets not dwell on the first week though eh? Otherwise Blackpool would be getting carried away.

Matches for next week are as follows - same format - all predictions in by midnight Friday.

Saturday, 21 August 2010

Arsenal v Blackpool
Birmingham v Blackburn
Everton v Wolverhampton
Stoke v Tottenham
West Brom v Sunderland

Where is the table, I can't see it?

Had to upload it as an image from thumbsnap as the formatting would have taken me ages.

You're currently 6th.

Top of the league!!!

Can I just check on the scoring (perhaps I got it wrong last year)

You get 1pt for a correct result
Your get an extra 3 points for a Correct score? (4pts in total?)

Just checking as last year I thought it worked this way, but I might have not taken any notice

T-J-K

Ah could be a mistake on my part then - I've scored it as one point for a correct score and three points total for a correct result.

Happy to change things - how do people want it scoring?

[Dan_1981]

I'm only looking after the ball for a few months

I'll amend to give an extra 3 for correct result.

No change to over standings - the hill is just slightly steeper to climb for those at the bottom now

Ta da.....

Now..... how do I become JK?????

All I know is that the main aim of this game is to beat Lawro. I'd like to start giving out some abuse but given this is only week 1, then I shall refrain and see what happens.

Did anyone even get the Blackpool result never mind the correct score?

RP did! He was the only one tho.

Evening all.....

Still waiting for week two predictions from...

Allblackedup

And thats it!

Its now a 20 man league!

[Dan_1981]

A couple of 5-0 selections and a 7-0 but no-one went for the 6-0!

Should get a table up after the match on Monday night.

[Dan_1981]

some interesting results eh?

A lack of correct scores in at least 3 of the matches this weekend......

[Dan_1981]

Evening Gentleman.

Not only do Citeh tonk us three nil but I have to sit so close to the bottom of the table its not funny...... now if only I was looking after the scoring..... hmmmm...

Latest table folks...

True to form TJK stays top.... however special mention to OxfordDrinker - who shoots into 8th with only one weeks of predictions under his belt. Note to Pete - maybe you should feed his results into the machine?

[Dan_1981]

Just noticed I seem to have given adztherat a point short.

Will correct and update later.

[Dan_1981]

The jiffle king said:

Dan.... sorry to be picky, but I think you have also missed an extra 3 points from me. I only got 3 correct results (Ars, Chelsea and Spurs), but I got the Spurs correct score which means I am missing 3 points.... can you adjust please?

Thanks

T-J-K

I blame my "predictions results spreadsheet v4.0145" for not totalling up a couple of scores correctly!

Now adjusted and table amended above.

[Dan_1981]
