In all the years of doing this Predictathon, I've never started a week this well.
Which probably means the wheels will fall off big time tomorrow then.
You and mickk are stretching your lead at the top. Only 1 point between the two of you then a big gap to 3rd place.Which probably means the wheels will fall off big time tomorrow then.
Table to follow Tuesday morning.
Sorry for the tardy reply but I only got back from abroad late last night.
Ascayman: I’m very sorry but I can’t be seen to be picking and choosing who can fall outside of the rules and who can’t. I hadn’t actually picked up on that as I’m not entering the forecasts until lunchtime today but would have noticed it then.
Rule 2 last paragraph
“Make sure you have the right number of scores in the list! If you don't it will be your loss as I won’t be counting your entries and notifying you if you are short, in such cases your scores will be deemed to correspond to the games in order, ie. if you only post 9 scores, these will be deemed to apply to the first nine matches and you will be awarded zero points for the tenth match. ‘Edited’ forecasts are not permissible and will be ignored so once you press ‘post’ I’m afraid that’s it.”
Hope you understand my position.
Gone a bit AMG: No problem. You are correct though you have one strike left, with only 8 matchdays to go.

Just having a quick look, Ascay, think you are just one point down on where you would have been had you posted all ten scores (depending on what you predicted for Newcastle v Southampton).
Also depends on what happens tonight in Stoke v Man City too of course.
Have you got a copy of the latest table please Glovermart? No rush, tomorrow morning after tonight's City game will be fine Also depends on what happens tonight in Stoke v Man City too of course.
This weekend there are BOTH 4 Premier League and 4 FA Cup games. These are all of the Premier League fixtures for you to forecast by this Friday at 6pm.
I will store these predictions until all of the other Matchday 31 games have been played which could be a while. In fact Matchday 32 (and possibly others) will now fully complete before Matchday 31.
Ascayman: You actually did better this weekend with your forecasts being misaligned to the fixtures you were predicting. You actually got 6 points but would have only got 5.
Matchday 31
Saturday 17th March 2018
Bournemouth v West Brom
Burnley v Chelsea
Huddersfield v Crystal Palace
Leicester v Arsenal
Liverpool v Watford
Man City v Brighton
Stoke v Everton
Swansea v Southampton
Tottenham v Newcastle
West Ham v Man Utd

Oxford Drinker:
Point of order. Shouldn't the person who is ahead on points in each contest have to forecast first? Otherwise the one who is ahead on count back merely needs to mirror his opponents forecasts in order to ensure they win their particular contest.
This solution would give the under dog the chance to make different forecasts to the favourite.
Mickk knows this I'm sure
Who is ahead in count back terms in each contest by the way?

Missed a week. Sorry Gadge. I think I've one strike left.
Which you’re in danger of losing if you don’t post within the next 1 hour 20 minutes.Again it’s a real shame but my hands are tied.
Gone a bit AMG said:
Gadget and fellow thonners. Apologies for missing predictions I know how much effort goes in.
An unexpected personal problem took priority. Good luck for the run in.
Sorry to hear that GabA. Hope that whatever the problem is it resolves itself in your favour.An unexpected personal problem took priority. Good luck for the run in.
Good luck.
