my friend does a whole league throughout the year. he has for 4 years. ten results each week. 2 in scotland 7 in the prem and 1 random foreign game - its great fun- over 120 of us do it. you get 5 points for a correct result, 2 for the right team winning. each week he sends back everyones scores and the table overall. you can still play now - you will get the average score for the weeks missed. let me know as he is always asking for more players. i can give you the email address and i can call him and let him know too.


anyway mine are

Rovers-- Arsenal 0-3
Fulham--Bolton 2-1
Liverpool--Utd 1-1
Man City--Chelsea 2-2
Newcastle-Hull 2-1
Pompey--Boro 2-0
WBA--WHU 1-2
Wigan--Sunderland 2-1
Stoke--Everton 0-1
Spurs--Villa 1-2

hey guys...if you get chance...on the bbc.co.uk there is a predictor under premiership football page.

You enter your predictions each week and watch the table change.

We've done ours at work...have a go and let's share results for the top 5 come May.

I love Lawro's predictions, last year he had Liverpool down for so many wins that they ran away with the league

I enjoy watch your Premier League matches. Some of them are shown live, but the contrasting time difference of 11 hours between UK and NZ can be a pain in the ass!!

City will be there, I think they'll be average until January and then just buy everybody!!!!!

Liverpool's days are numbered unless they get serious investment!!!!!!!!!

Reira, Keane????? Ain't good enough to win them the league.

Hope you are not a betting man Jim
They may have money but they are going to find it very difficult to recruit the players they want. Cesc just laughed at the suggestion.
If Man City finish in top 4 I will buy you and Claire dinner, I might even come along myself

Me thinks you should stop playing with that Bubba, his Southern boy bad habits are wearing off on you.
Me and your Mam spent enough money on elocution lessons after you hung around with that 50 cent boy. When are you going to behave?

Newcastle-Hull 2-1
Pompey--Boro 2-0
WBA--WHU 1-2
Wigan--Sunderland 2-1
Stoke--Everton 0-1
Spurs--Villa 1-2
So are we scoring this 5 pts for correct score, 2 for corect result and 0 for none of the above?

On another issue has anyone tested the pre 3pts for a win era league tables to see if the standings would have been different? I'll check it out.

Just did a quick check on '62-'63 season and found that West Brom would have finished above Blackpool.......... By the way, I do have a life...... Cheers!

Can the Spurs fans remember which team did the double over them in their Double winning season?
