Are you sure Mickk's totals are correct ?
Looks a bit generous to me.
Pardon, I can't hear you from that far down the table. Speak up.Looks a bit generous to me.
Standard's higher this year, Gadget. I know it is early days but not usually too many people averaging more than a point a game and by the end, the winner has normally got about 340 points, so well down on that average.
Already four people above a point a game and a few others just one decent week away from it.

Yeah, great analysis GM, with one small flaw of mine which you’ve inadvertantly managed to highlight - I forgot to update the games played, it should be 80 not 70.Already four people above a point a game and a few others just one decent week away from it.
You appear to be making a habit of highlighting peoples errors what with BCM not posting the full 10 forecasts the other day which I’m sure he’s really happy about
Actually, on a serious point, I had to move all of his forecasts up one place against the fixtures and he still scored as many points, 6, as people who had actually put some effort in. [cough] including you [/cough]
I’m sure he’ll call it karma.

Ha, I've split the two wanabees!
After 4 or 5 predictathon wins 
I am pleased to still be a "wanabee". Just wondering what I have to do to make it in predictathon terms and move out of "wanabee" and into the next category up? After "Wanabee", is it "Nearly made it" (Spurs) then "championes" (Barcelona) 
Also agree with Glovermart that the standard is getting higher and a point a game is the holy grail for a whole season.

Still some top performers including my old chum BCM, who as you kindly point out, scored the same amount as me purely by accident. ..think the winner will have to score 350+ to win this year.
Personally, think Mickk might be the one to beat this year.
