[Boro]

Why don't we come up with some scoring system for this.

ie. 1 point for each PL position correctly guessed, 3 points for top scorer, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League?

3 points for a correct PL tip.
1 point for being 1 place away ie tipping Boro 10th and they come 9th or 11th.
3 points for top scorer, FA CUP etc

That is how the points system has worked when I've gone in predictions comps before and it worked pretty well.

3 points for a correct PL tip.
1 point for being 1 place away ie tipping Boro 10th and they come 9th or 11th.
3 points for top scorer, FA CUP etc

That is how the points system has worked when I've gone in predictions comps before and it worked pretty well.

That sounds good

Everyone happy with this?

 

[TorresIsGod]

Fixed

Hey look, it's just past 8:30 here, you're still an Everton fan... haven't changed yet?

 

[apollo_creed]

On what planet will Liverpool finish ahead of Chelsea?

Chelsea have a far, far better squad with a better manager than last season. (their second one)

And Chelsea fourth? haha.

I nominate this for thread of the year. This won't be beaten.

Manchester United and Chelsea are miles better than the next best (Arsenal and Tottenham).

It's disappointing that most of you can't actually predict objectively. when was the last time Liverpool finished ahead of Chelsea in the league? when was the last time they got close?

Lets be honest here. They've done or shown nothing to warrant being predicted to finish ahead of Chelsea.

suddenly Dossena, Degen and Robbie Keane will close that gap?

while Chelsea have signed Bosingwa, Deco and possibly Robinho.

 

[ShearMagic9]

Why does there have to be a scoring system for everything?

[apollo_creed]

I was ready to so hug you and then I got to number 18.

haha, top scorer Alan Smith. I just read that. actually even laughed.

I was thinking just the other day actually, what's the bet that after not scoring ALL of last season that he scores first game this season. that's the way sport works sometimes. he's still s**t and will have a s**t season but he'll score first game.

 

[ShearMagic9]

haha, top scorer Alan Smith. I just read that. actually even laughed.

Just you all wait, when he bangs in 30 goals next season and wins the golden boot, I'll bump this thread and everyone will just be in awe.
