    We're a few games into the season, so it should be easy to predict finishing positions.

    So, all you need to do is to predict finishing positions. Simple. How hard can that be?

    It has been done before but I don't recall seeing the results. I'll commit to keeping track and publishing the results provided entries are made exactly as suggested below.

    What you need to do is to take the list below (table as at 5pm today), cut it and paste it into a post, then after the comma, put in the finishing position you expect. So if you expect WHU to win with Man U second and Man C third, your first three in the list would be:

    Manchester City,3
    Manchester United,2
    West Ham,1
    ....


    Please leave the teams in the order they are in the list. You need to have a finishing position for all teams, all unique (so no equal 16ths or whatever). Sorry if this sounds a bit prescriptive; it's so I can keep track.

    Scoring: For every place your estimate is away from actual finishing position, you score a point. To encourage realistic estimates for Saints, each place you're wrong will count THREE points. The winner will be the person with the lowest number of points. Final table will be the one on the BBC website.



    Manchester City,
    Manchester United,
    West Ham,
    Leicester City,
    Arsenal,
    Everton,
    Swansea City,
    Crystal Palace,
    Tottenham Hotspur,
    Watford,
    Norwich City,
    West Bromwich Albion,
    Liverpool,
    Bournemouth,
    Chelsea,
    Southampton,
    Aston Villa,
    Stoke City,
    Newcastle United,
    Sunderland,

    To make it interesting and to encourage effort, I'm donating a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin for the winner. I'll post it within the UK as necessary.

    The entry fee? If you enter, please drop a (minimum) couple of quid into the charity box of your choice the next time you're out shopping. I trust you.

    Edit: Entries by Sunday 4th October, please.

    Vin
