    Welcome to the 10th Season of the Spurs Prediction League, perhaps we should have a cake :emoticon-0166-cake:
    All are welcome to join in, the simple rules are set out below. If you do decide to take part please go the distance otherwise you might find yourself at the foot of the table with all the ignominy that goes with that. Aim for the stars, show us your amazing predictive skills and achieve immortality with the champions on our Honours Board. The first prediction game of the season is shown below, post your prediction complete with Spurs goal scorers on this thread and you're away, but please read the rules because I do enforce them without mercy or pity. Hard luck stories do not move me in any way. Good luck, I wish you a good season.

    The Rules

    1. Only your first prediction for each game will count, no revisions will be accepted for any reason.

    2. Your prediction must be made before the kick-off, if you are 1 minute past the start of the game (as shown by your post time) it will not be counted. BEWARE the not606 clock MAYBE SLOW/FAST and this is the clock you are timed by.

    3. Whilst I will make every effort to calculate your score correctly it is your responsibility to check your score and advise me of any error.

    4. The league will be split into Divisions according to the number of participants. Each league will be no more than 20 players. Promotion and Relegation will take place throughout the season according to your points total.

    5. Your prediction should include the following; The score of both teams and the names of the Spurs goalscorers.

    6. You can place your prediction any time following publication of the match thread but remember if you leave it late, waiting for team announcements, you risk missing the kick-off deadline.

    7. The predictions are for PL games only.

    The Scoring System:

    5 points correct result
    3 points exact scoreline
    2 points correct Spurs goal tally
    2 points for each Spurs goalscorer named
    1 point deducted for failure to predict

    First prediction game

    Sunday 13th August 1.30pm

    As it is unlikely that we will make any new signings before 23:00 on the 31st August (why pay them a salary in the closed season, lets face it, if we had signed Neymar at the beginning of July,we'd have paid him 4 Million for doing absolutely nothing), lets go with:

    Geordies 1 Spurs 5 Kane x 3, Alli and Eriksen.

    Out of interest, if a predictor predicted a score of 22-0, all players scoring twice, would a predictor get goalscorer points for every player to score?

    Newc 0 Spurs 2 (KWP, Harry (Kane))

    In a Danny Rosesque debut fashion, KWP will score an absolute screamer from a half way line volley. Up to that point the game will be in the balance, maybe with a Newcastle edge. From then on, its all us, though it takes a trip in the box on Harry and his resultant penalty to put the game to bed. Eventually, he's substituted for Vincent and despite a few nice touches, the game as a scoring contest is over.

    Of course if they scored but they may be own goals, people try this but it rarely pays off because you lose 5 points for correct scoreline unless it really was 22 nil

    I'd advise taking a stiff drink before predicting Spurs results, especially in view of the close season shenanigans.
    But, in truth, it's 90% luck. So be lucky.
    It does strange things to you too. Having predicted Spurs to beat Utd 2-0 in May, I was cursing Rooney for scoring<doh>
    So take a stiff drink after predicting too.
