WEEK 1 - Welcome to the 10th Season of Premiership Predictions


Well I hope you had a better week than this goalkeeper! You'll be pleased to know that I won't do the usual commentary this season (unless there is something important to say). Instead this round up will consist of 5 sections - and they speak for themselves. See below


The Full Overall League Table can be found to the right of this page using the Link OVERALL. Below that you will find the links to all 30 of the Minileagues we have at present. Like I said before, ALL of you are in a minileague this season. The quickest way to find out how you got on this week might be to check in your minileague (as there are 500+ in the Overall Table!)


Ok, I will say one more thing! Only one of you is going to win the Overall League, and only one of you will win your minileague. If you want to make this game even more interesting, challenge a mate or a colleague to a wager! 5p a point? 10p? 20p? It's up to you. But believe me, it will def help you remember to get your scores in and improve your scores! Seeing as this is the 10th season of Premiership Predictions - maybe we will finally have an end of party? (Rick Wakeman says he will play there!) ATB and Good Luck! Ciro


And one more thing. If you're on the road and don't have access to your email, you can now find the excel file for your predictions here at the website. Just click on the link under "downloads" and you can access that week's file. A link to Ciro's email is further down the page under "Problems, Questions". Cheers, David.
