The Official 2018/19 Premier League Predictathon Thread

[gadgetmac]

Thanks for all of your kind words guys, makes all the effort worthwhile. Cash would say it so much more loudly but hey ho.

Mattyn: thanks for the offer but I'll continue next season. Maybe the season after that?

Glovermart: provided your guys are PH'ers then no problem.

I'll start the next thread a couple of weeks before the new season.

Again, it's been a blast chaps!

[mickk]

Well done Gadge and all the top 4.

Thanks for running this, it's appreciated.

[Dan_1981]

Good stuff guys.

Here's to next year!

Can I make a suggestion for a rule change.

If you miss a week then 1-0 is entered for all predictions rather than 0 points.

Apologies if this has been suggested before .

I know I'm not a member of the club yet but I would like to join for next year

We used to use 4-4. However any result being entered allows the miscreant to potentially score points.

No points at all means everyone is on their toes.... in theory.

That's right. If you allow any points at all for not playing you set up the potential for a no-show to still score more than somebody who did forecast. So that's not something I personally would ever entertain. Future 'thon runners may change that though.

It's not really a club jflower and as we have 3 people relegated you are first on the list for a place.

I'll email you via the PH system when I create next season's listing for you to add your name or decline to play but you'll only have 48 hours to decide.

Glover: Get your boys on here asking for entry quickly as it's a first come-first served situation.

[The jiffle king]

Well done Gadgetmac

Congratulations on the win and a very good season. You've deserved the first place finish and have been very consistent (A bit like Man City and Liverpool)

A lot of people over 320 points which shows the standard has risen or that the Premier league is getting more predictable (not sure which)

Sounds fair enough - looking forward to a new season .

When was the last time a new promoted "team" finished in the top 4 ?

[Pommy]

Thanks Gadge and congrats on being Champion.

Bloody well played however a bit like GOT the clues are there all along ( 10. MY WEEKLY SCORE You’re all welcome to double check my score each week and I’d suggest you do. I cheat, frequently. So if suddenly I’m top of the table, you’d be well advised to check.)

In all seriousness understand this takes a lot of effort and is thankless but you're rich in kudos.

Now, can we just collate the WC, EPL and Champ League completions and see who's top with total points?...

This game isn't as easy as you might think. It's the "promoted" clubs that usually get relegated the following season

Probably would have been third if I hadn't missed a week!

Cheers again, Gadge. This is a great little thread that has made me a fair chunk on accas this season after I've copied your predictions into bets

The clues were all there...

You're the first person to ever quote that rule back at me

I'm sure copyright is a thing on forum posts right?

I'll be seeing my solicitors first thing in the morning...unless we can reach an out-of-court settlement in the meantime.

You've got until 12pm today or you can take a long walk off a short pier

Friday arvo meeting in my scheduled prediction time (I have an alarm on my phone set for 2pm) and it slipped my mind. Nothing as dramatic as TJK

Gadge, they're both PH'ers as they're entrants in the Champions League Predictathonthonthonthon thread. I'll get them to confirm their application or alternatively, scrub them off. Both at college/school right now so will do it ASAP.
