Does that mean I need to keep training, I've got me flip flops on.

Excellent job OD. Mickk when are you taking names for next years predictathon?

What happens with next season? Are we automatically in if we want to be? Or do we have to keep an eye out for the new thread?

That's very much down to the organiser..... I think last year we gave first refusal to those who had taken part the previous time, and then filled any spare spaces with new people

The existing entrants usually get first dibs but it is indeed up to whoever is gonna run it - after all it's their time so it's their game.

It's a shame we can't get 2 people to run it next season though as there's enough interest now to make a Premier and Championship league with Promotion/Relegation.

The first season we had 15 players now we have 32 with more interested.

What do people think about having a separate website?

It would be cool to have something that almost ran itself, but then it would distance things slightly from PH?

This is the only way I could see to automate things, I could probably have one of my guys knock something up fairly quickly, but then we get into domain registration and all sorts. Would be a shame to take it outside of PH really.

I would be up for chucking a Tenner in, 50% goes as prize money and 505 as beer money to thank whoever runs it

Some of the fun is in the comments people make - can you do that on a seperate website set-up or would it just be a case of post your preditions and go back to see how you did after the weekend?

Great idea but I fear that would seriously narrow the field.

Anyway, mick's got enough money already.

I like the way it is at the minute. A premiership and championship league would be good but its double the effort and finding one volunteer to run it is hard enough.

None of that would be a problem really. I run a web development company - could be done in partnership with myself/my guys and yours?

Predictions would have to be done on the website. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility though to have a separate login for a 'website bot' to login every week and automatically post the results table. Means we could maintain a topic going on PH for all the banter...

Do you take your definition of irony from Alannis Morisette?

When you look at the teams supported, you can really see differences (this season) in terms of predicting....

Arsenal/Man Utd - Not really very good at predicting, too busy focused on real football
Spuds - far too focused on the internet and predicting, probably a bunch of accountants
Liverpool - good try... but a bit Andy Carroll
West Brom - punching above their weight

Any others?

Us Newcastle United supporters have the highest average score of all teams in the predictathon.

Congrats to Mickk and massive thanks to OD. Look forward to 2013-14
