    Welcome to the 12th season of The Spurs Prediction League. After an exciting end to our last season new champion Rocky blue army came in with 217 points earning his place on the Honours Board.

    We look forward
    to an exciting season for Spurs, the first complete season in our magnificent new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. How many pints will have been consumed by the end of the season in Europe's longest bar? After reaching the CL final and finishing 4th in the league in a season disrupted by having to play most of it at Wembley plus suffering extensive injuries to our squad, it does make you wonder how well we can do with a great home venue and better luck with injuries. Not to mention the unfinished business of the transfer window.

    All are welcome to take part in the prediction league, I only ask that if you do start you keep predicting until the end. The overwhelming majority of our players do just that, making the game an interesting and sometimes exciting addition to match days. The rules are set out below and I never bend them, so don't bother to ask <laugh>

    Our opener is a home fixture against old adversaries, newly promoted Aston Villa. It may well be a tricky fixture and they have spent over 100 million in the current window raising their own expectations.

    Use this thread to place your prediction for the Villa game. I make a new thread for each game.

    Good luck in your quest to join our elite on the honours board.



    Honours Board

    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.

    8. If you file a prediction with more goalscorers then predicted Spurs goals I will take the first named up to the number of goals predicted,

    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

    SATURDAY 10th August 5.30pm

    SPURS v ASTON VILLA

    Anyone feeling brave enough to predict goals from Lo Celso/Sessegnon/Fernandes?
