- Liverpool
Well here we are again in a brand new home for the season, isn’t this nice? Feels a bit roomier that’s for sure and hopefully it will bring in some more players, it is the longest running game on the forums and it has evolved as we have gone on. The winner of the game in our first season only had 9 points, shocking I know!!
I know that the Premiership doesn’t start til the 13th but I figured that we may as well get the season underway with those teams who got dumped out of the Prem last season and see how they do with their opening day in the Championship. The rules this season aint gonna change but I figured as it’s a new one we may as well have a recap so everyone knows how to play, it’s a nice welcome to those who aint played before.
As it’s the start of the season we will go easy and start with 3 normal league games and the Community Shield (I nearly called it the Charity Shield, why did they change the name?) to predict the score for. As well as the score though I want you to let me know whether you think it will be a HOME win, an AWAY win or a DRAW. What I also want you to bear in mind is that your score doesn’t have to match your H/A/D pick so while you could in theory have your Home team down to win 4-0 you wouldn’t have to have it down as a Home win. You get awarded 2 points for getting the score correct and the one for you H/A/D pick. If that doesn’t make sense just wait for one of our regulars to post or PM me.
I almost forgot the prize that is on offer for our winner at the end of the season! If you are our game leader when we get to the end of this years game then you get the grand total of 40 quid, which should hopefully buy you a football shirt of your choice but to be honest once it leaves me you can spend it on whatever you like.
Here is your first set of games for this season:
Saturday 6th August - The Championship
Crystal Palace Vs Luton
Norwich Vs Coventry
Southampton Vs Wolves
Sunday 7th August - Community Shield
Arsenal Vs Chelsea - After 90 minutes
Away ya go
