After the success of last season's competition (well, my success at least), I'm starting one for this season. For those who didn't see last year's, here's how it works - I, or someone else, pick(s) 10 fixtures from each weekend's matches in the English league (Premiership, Championship, Leagues One & Two). This is usually in the form of 3 Premiership, 3 Championship, 2 League One and 2 League Two matches, but can be different in some cirumstances (international weekends, FA Cup weekends). Everyone then makes their predictions (home win, away win, or draw. You can predict scores as well, but you don't get any points for getting them right) for these matches (before 12pm on the Saturday). You get one point for each correct prediction. The person who has the most points at the end of the season wins.

First weekend will be the first weekend of the Premiership season (19th/20th August). Here are the 10 fixtures for the first week:

Premiership
Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Newcastle vs Wigan
Reading vs Middlesbrough

Championship
Derby vs Norwich
Luton vs Stoke
Southend vs Sunderland

League One
Bristol City vs Blackpool
Rotherham vs Scunthorpe

League Two
MK Dons vs Bristol Rovers
Wycombe vs Bury

And my predictions:
1. Home win
2. Home win
3. Draw
4. Home win
5. Draw
6. Away win
7. Home win
8. Away win
9. Draw
10. Home win

Oh i am so in!

1) Home win
2) Away win
3) Draw
4) Draw
5) Home Win
6) Away win
7) Draw
8) Away Win
9) Away Win
10) Home Win

I'm so in! The home team listed first, right?

Sorry, was I meant to sign in first? I was rude, I do apolgise

Mine:
1. Home win
2. Draw
3. Away win
4. Away win
5. Draw
6. Away win
7. Draw
8. Away win

Harlesburg just wanted to show that he was in before he actually made a list. He's gonna be researching this for hours.

I've completely guessed everything outside of the Premiership and as I'm in predicting mode, Reading, Sheffield Utd and Fulham to be relegated this season from Prem.

Heh, apparently I put £5 on them to win today. I thought I'd put it on for a draw. Woo!

Reading?

When I lived there they were crap. They have, apparently, improved somewhat.

Premiership

2. Away win
3. Home win

Championship
4. Away Win
5. Away Win
6. Home Win

League One
7. Away Win
8. Home Win

In picking these teams, I've cursed each of them to lose.

I place a pox on your house!:(
I don't like Middlesborough but still they should have won...

Arsenal 1-1 Aston Villa

I didn't think O'Neil would make Aston Villa so decent so quickly. Ah well, at least I got two points
