I was just wondering if I started a Premiership predictions contest, would anybody play along?

Basically, I'd list the fixtures for that weekend, and you would earn points based on how right you were. If you predicted the correct winner (or the draw) you would get three points. If you predicted the right amount of goals for a team, you would get 1 point. So if you were to get the exact score, you would get a total of five.

e.g.
real score
Manchester United 7 Stoke City 0

predictions
United 7 Stoke 0 = 5 points
United 7 Stoke 1 = 4 points
United 5 Stoke 1 = 3 points
United 0 Stoke 0 = 1 point

What do you think?

In that case....i'll probably get a few points each time then.......

Right, with the new season just a week and a half away, I thought I'd post the first weeks fixtures.

You may change your predictions at any time up until 12pm on the 16th (when I need to leave to get to the pub )

I support Leicester City, you need the unpredictabilty of Leauge One. Nothing more exciting than predicting Leicester - Peterborough away.

Hull City 0 - 1 Fulham
Middlesbrough 1 - 2 Tottenham
West Ham 1 - 1 Wigan
