I am happy to run this prediction league again this season, if there is the interest. Rules 1. All predictions to be time stamped before the start of the game they pertain to. I was lax about this in the inaugural year. 2. Any latecomers to the league will join on 50% of the lowest score to that date 3. 1 point for correctly predicting win/lose/draw 4. 3 points for predicting the exact score 5. 1 point deducted for missing an entire week 6. The first prediction is the only one accepted 7. To be worthwhile, a minimum of 10 players at any one time. Less than this will mean closure of the league To go along with the snappy (?) new title, I am looking to beat the number of players from last year. We had 17/20 last year so would be fantastic to get that higher. We have leagues of 10, Glenn Hoddle League (Prem) and Glen Johnson League (Championship). Hopefully we'll have enough players to mean I have to come up with a 3rd league name!

Nice one SD, fair play to you for taking it on again ....we've all chipped in for a new calculator for you!

Yea, I'm in too, if I hadn't nearly kicked the bucket midway through last season I'd have definitely won... or at least not finished in the Glen Johnson league, or the bottom half of that. On second thoughts, I'm not entirely sure predictions are my strong point...

Well done SD, last year I started OK but faded. This year I will try and fade right from the start. I'll probably end up in the Glen Fiddich league.
