    You enter an opulent hallway lined with golden walls that, on closer inspection, don’t appear to be made of actual gold. As you make your way to the far end of the room, you pass rows of people staring gormlessly ahead. They’re looking at the Premier League, resplendent in its glory and seated on a throne of money. Today, it’s wearing a replica West Ham shirt and sips from a goblet branded with a Wolves logo.

    “Ah Ipswich Town. Or as We call you, plucky little Ipswich Town.” The Premier League says in a tone much cheerier than you’ve been used to the last few weeks. A few people in the room laugh. “Come in, please, come in. You know the Championship, of course.” It gestures towards an jittery younger man, stood off to the side obscured by shadows.

    “Oh I know Ipswich Town.” The Championship says excitedly, stepping forwards to stare at you with wide eyes. “You were a lot of fun last season. Are you looking forward to returning …”

    “Not yet, Championship.” The Premier League interrupts, a little too quickly. “Nothing is decided yet. There’s still … yes, there's still drama in the Premier League! Greatest of all the leagues in the world!” The room erupts into frenzied applause. The Championship looks nervously at its feet and mutters something. An old woman, sat in the front row with an empty smile, gets your attention.

    “Do you actually think you’ll win?” She cackles. “Do you actually think you’ll beat the Arsenal?”

    I don’t. 3-0 Arsenal.

    I hate being a negative Nellie but I'm afraid I can see us getting another tonking 1-5 to the Gooners!

    COYB!!

    Very good Nuggets

    Arsenal are away in Madrid this Wednesday.

    Hopefully they will get through after extra time and penalties.

    2-2

    Ah, our old friend Nuggets showing his cultural artistic talents, well done!

    I think it will be a helluva game, Town giving it everything, and playing with pride and considerable flair.

    But, inevitably, with fat lady singing and cackling, we go down 2-1.

    Nearly 50% of our points are from London teams!

    Surprising 1-0 win. West Ham lose again - and the Premier League gets to dangle the hope of safety in front of us a little longer.

    Ipswich 0-3 Arsenal

    You could be officially relegated tomorrow, that’s if anyone has still not accepted it yet

    One of the best club sides in the world at present. But well provide a tougher test than Real Madrid. 1-1.

    Nuggets, so that I don't break my 100% prediction record, I would've gone 1-0 win for the Chelsea game last week, I just forgot to get on the thread in time.

    If the Premier League was run by fairness instead of money, you’d stay up.

    Manchester City under the amount of Fair Play manipulation and 115 breaches should really be chucked out the PL.

    Arteta at their presser “And we know how tough it's going to be. They are a really well-organised team. What Kieran McKenna and the staff have done is remarkable and you see every week how they perform and the amount of issues they give to the opposition. So we expect a tough game.”

    At least they are showing us respect. Sounds a decent bloke.

    Hopefully they are fully concentrated on the Champions league Gaffer.

    Nuggets, I did get to the thread on time and accidentally put us down for a 2-1 win when I should have predicted a 2-2 draw.
    Any chance you could ammend that please <cheers>
