Maybe. Not mine though because I already had a 2nd team. I'd be interested to know what you're predicting will happen next Sunday RD.

Why?

Don't be silly JL. I've got more sense ;-)

Remind me not to predict a West Ham win ever again. Let me down 2 weeks running. So many draws! Did anyone get any? I managed one. Wasn't Swansea though. They should have won :(

Very funny AM. Same team for me every week. I'm referring to Gomis. Amazing underrated striker.

Three games. Three goals. One in each. Beautiful :)

I have the same routine every week. I update predictions, sign out, then sign back in to check they're still there. If so, they've been saved. If I ever have any problems, it's when I use IE. I find it works better on Chrome.

I reckon moving from bottom to top within a week has to be an EDF world record! :)

Are you a Swansea supporter JohnL?

Sorry, I wasn't referring to people on here. I was just thinking aloud after watching the guys on TV after the match. They were all predicting City to finish above Chelsea.......because of the 2 games so far.

And it means more confidence elsewhere. Chelsea CAN be beaten. More pressure now on them so hopefully more chances for others, thinking they can win, beating them. But isn't predicting champions after just two games a little bit silly?!

My comments are irrelevant now anyway. Apart from the occasional post in the football threads, I won't be using the forum anymore.

And quite amusing that me, RD, LadyG and JL are the bottom 4......... I think some of us were on a different planet this week!

Well done maxxi. I lost prediction points, am annoyed with Arsenal, but pleased for you. I'm sure you lost prediction points by going for a Chelsea win.......so hope you're pleased for me too! :)

I wish I had! The grief I'm getting on here over it. ;-)
