Welcome to the Championship 2016/17 VT prediction league, you can join in at any time during the tournament but please make sure you follow the instructions carefully. However, if you are just thinking about just playing for a single week, or are going to lose interest after a couple of weeks, then do us all a time saving favour and don't bother playing.

-- Making a Prediction --

1. Head on over to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJHBdYRs_tzHsVDF1lpSoNIvr6E0nthT6nE47V_UQ44/edit#gid=2110235468
2. Make sure you are selecting the right sheet for the Gameweek (inactive sheets will be fully locked)
3. Find the first 'blank' entry with all scores set as '0-0' and 'ENTER YOUR NAME HERE' as the name
4. Green Cells are for you to enter stuff into, all other cells are not!
5. Fill in your predicted scores for each game
6. When entering your name, make sure it is EXACTLY the same as your VT name and that it doesn't have any erroneous spaces and is CaSe SeNsEtIvE
   Incorrectly entered names, even if it is just a space at the start or a capital letter, will result in tracking errors throughout the tournament
7. Once your prediction is complete, copy the cells within the dotted line and post them into this VT thread
   If you do not post the results correctly into this thread then your prediction will be ignored
8. Thread banter is encouraged!
9. Gameweek already started? No problem you can still play, just put the score for the games you have missed as N/A, e.g
   Fulham N/A - N/A Villa

-- When will prediction threads be posted up? --

• Generally I will try and post threads on Tuesday or Wednesday of each week, but this may slip at times. Just keep an eye on the forum and it'll be there before the games start.
• Gameweek matches will follow those as laid out on the BBC Championship fixtures page, let me know if I miss something due to a game being moved or postponed etc.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

Daniel tops the weekly table, and after a good run of weeks Dem_C props it up.

rubberman stays in the top spot but Daniel manages to cut the gap to just 3 points. No other real changes elsewhere.
 

-- My (Chewie's) Prediction for this Gameweek --

When pasting your prediction table you might want to hit enter a couple of times before you post your prediction in. The editor makes life difficult to create a new line after you paste the table in if you haven't 'entered' a couple of times first.

-- Bets --

In each Gameweek I will aim to select two predictions of my choosing, one for correct results and one for Both Teams to score (Yes/No). I shall then place a £1 accumulator on each of those bets, should they win I will give the predictor 20% of the winnings to be paid via Paypal. Likely to be no bets at all whilst gameweeks span across like 5 days.

-- Good Luck --

Good luck to everyone for the week, and please don't be a bitch and mess with other people's predictions in the Google Sheet, there's a good girl

Games start Saturday through to Tuesday night. There is a game on Wednesday that will NOT be included in any gameweeks.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

Daniel and rubberman lead the gameweek table with 10 points each. No one else manages double digits, newcomer ColonelBlimp (nice name BTW ) opens his account with 5 points.

No change for at least the top 6, but rubberman does extend his lead over Dem_C by a couple of points.

All games are tomorrow, GW33 starts on Saturday so thread will be up Weds or Thursday.

Following on from the above post. Since it is looking like we'll be in the Championship again next season with zero coverage outside select games on Sky Sports, can they look at providing a service for us foreign fans outside the UK (thus not conflicting with local TV rights) to stream the games either live, or immediately after the final whistle?

Further to that, I recall Dr Xia mentioned that they might look to get coverage rights in China for the Championship next season, is that likely to happen?

With AVTV being atrocious, the club seems to forget it has fans outside of the UK.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

GW29 saw myself top the table for the first time in a while.

GW30 saw rubberman at the top.

rubberman stays on top of the overall table with Dem_C staying in second also. Daniel leapfrogs andykeenan, and Chewie leapfrog TheAuthority.

Pointless thread now, pointless efforts throughout the Jan window

Everything seems to be pointless.

Today's match is like a face slap to all of us, and all club managing staff, and most of all, to Xia.

I am sorry. I give up.

See you next season.

It's a good job you weren't around the past couple of years before Xia, you'd of hung yourself!

You're gonna need thicker skin than that to be a Villa fan

Sheet was filled in b4 hand before went Brentford

I have literally no way to verify that. I'd like to think you wouldn't cheat, but there is a lot at stake! Why didn't you just pop into post before the game started to say the sheet was done and you'd submit here later?

Do me a favour, OBE. Write your post match write-up in the R&R thread relatively quickly after the match, it's like my bed time story and i can't sleep without reading it

So angry tonight this is a new low for this club. 

Ashamed of these pathetic losers

Save some anger for the next new low, it's just around the corner as always. 

Every single week the team we play against looks hungrier and works harder. It's been like that since the Lambert era, our players just don't seem to put enough effort in, ever.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

A decent week from Villaphan04 who goes from the bottom of last week to the top of this week due to only getting 1 result wrong, well done! Daniel continues his revival by matching Villaphan04's guesses and points for the gameweek (Well done also). andykeenan, imavillan, and chappy all get double figures.

Dem_C: If you make a mistake in the sheet then note it down, don't just fill in 3 different entries and keep quiet about it!

Absolutely no change in the top 7 of the table, but some scores have been cut down. It's still tight, unlike yer mum.. the slag!

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

A cracking week from Daniel with what has to be close to being the highest gameweek score we have had. A poor showing from myself and Villaphan04.

And it's change again at the top with rubberman going into first and Daniel makes up much needed ground.

You didn't look very hard

I was never really a fan of the early PS1 era Tomb Raider games but I thought both Tomb Raider (Reboot) and Rise of the Tomb Raider were absolutely fantastic. Others have said that they didn't like it as much as Uncharted 4 but i was the exact opposite. Uncharted 4 felt like i was either watching a movie or climbing up a cliff with about 2 minutes of actual action once every hour. In contrast both Tomb Raider games constantly feel like you are actually doing something meaningful.

Must buy if you like action adventures!

-- Special Request --

Would any of you guys be willing to help me out with the Google Sheet? I need someone to go through and put in all the upcoming fixtures for the second half of the season. It'd just be one off data entry, and i'd continue to do the calculations each week and stuff, it's just listing out all the fixtures is taking up too much of my time. Anyone?

Sticking this in a new post so ya'll really bad people can't just pretend you didn't see it!
