    Hey Guys and Girls,

    Don't know how many one you used to go on the BBC predictor thing but it went offline beginning of last season or season before, can't really remember. Basically it hasn't been there for some time.

    This site is new and does exactly the same.

    Tried it. We won the league with 114 points.

    Good, I shall bookmark that.

    Really don't know why the BBC closed their own Predictor. It was simple, clear and easy to use. They officially closed their own external links to it something like 3-4 seasons ago, but if you had an old bookmark or Googled for it you could find it. Now even those connections are gone. I understand that it is still within the BBC Sport website, but not available externally, only to employees.

    Stupid decision if you ask me, because it gave a real insight into what was, and was not, possible, and was a bit of fun.

    Looks good but I can't log into it as I'm not on Facebook, so I can't save anything.

    Meanwhile I tried it but even though I gave Man City a win it didn't give them the points. For some reason it is preloaded with the Newcastle/Man City game being a draw.

    Gave Saints a draw!

    Tbh, I've noticed there are plenty of other predictors since searching. Unfortunately, they all have their little catch. Either they want you to be on Fleecebook, or throw adverts at you, or are just crap.

    BTW, just searched, and the real reason why the BBC Predictor went down was that it had technical issues, apparently, according to a Beeb spokesman [worked 100% for me]. They were going to fix it but either couldn't or couldn't be bothered. I think the latter.

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one that really enjoys doing these things!
