Could be worse, you could be a Villa :/

Wait no longer my friend, the new thread is up...

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 -- Head on over to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJHBdYRs_tzHsVDF1lpSoNIvr6E0nthT6nE47V_UQ44/edit#gid=1645972895 Make sure you are selecting the right sheet for the Gameweek (inactive sheets will be fully locked) Find the first 'blank' entry with all scores set as '0-0' and 'ENTER YOUR NAME HERE' as the name Green Cells are for you to enter stuff into, all other cells are not! Fill in your predicted scores for each game 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 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 Thread banter is encouraged, but please post banter before your pasted predictions. 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 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 -- Name Result Points Score Points Total Points imavillan 7 6 13 chappy 4 6 10 Villaphan04 5 3 8 andykeenan 5 3 8 villalad21 5 3 8 rubberman 4 3 7 Rodders 2 3 5 Chewie 4 0 4 Demitri_C 4 0 4 Daniel 3 0 3 TheAuthority 2 0 2 In bizzaro world, imavillan and chappy are the only two to top the table with double points TheAuthority keeps his low scoring run going, and after last weeks cracking score Dem_C returns to business as usual. Myself and Daniel have stinkers, and since Hornso is MIA, only andykeenan from the top of the leaderboard posts anything half way decent. New comer villalad21 post a respectable 8 points on his first week.

Hornso obviously drops due to missing the gameweek, but Dem_C stays in fifth. Chappy starts his ascent up the table by jumping up two places. -- My (Chewie's) Prediction for this Gameweek -- Name Home Team Away Team Guess Cardiff 1 1 Leeds Draw Barnsley 0 1 Reading Reading Blackburn 2 1 Rotherham Blackburn Brentford 1 1 Preston Draw Bristol 2 2 Derby Draw Burton 0 2 Brighton Brighton Huddersfield 3 1 QPR Huddersfield Ipswich 1 1 Villa Draw Newcastle 3 0 Wolves Newcastle Forest 1 2 Norwich Norwich Wigan 1 1 Fulham Draw Birmingham 0 0 Wednesday Draw Chewie 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. I forgot to place the bets in the mid week games -- 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 First game is Saturday, no games on Sunday. -- Special note to @villalad21 -- "Find the first 'blank' entry with all scores set as '0-0' and 'ENTER YOUR NAME HERE' as the name" means scroll down the sheet and find an entry whereby no one else has placed their scores, not "**** it, and everyone else, i'll just stick my prediction in the top entry in the sheet and overwrite someone else's score".

Hey guys, next thread probably wont be up until Friday afternoon. Cheers.

Not clinical enough, too many wasted chances, too easy to score against.

Poor old Kodjia, just can't hit the target.

Oh man, anyone there but Cissoko, lol.

Rudy rudy rudy rudy!

W0000t, kick on now lads!

Rudy on...

Maybe 20 years ago, more like this now-a-days...

The cameras must be still in the stadium from the Prem League, unless they were order to remove them as punishment for going down. Data probably isn't sent to anyone even if they are still there.

Can't blame her, I do the same on my Villa shirt most weeks we play.

Bets randomly placed on @Richard (Results at 12,000/1 lol) and @Villaphan04 (Both teams to score)

The sheet is open for anyone to use so weird it's throwing an error. Try a different browser is about the only thing I can suggest right now.

@Demitri_C You posted in the wrong thread, buddy. Also we only need the part in the dotted line, cheers GW6 thread is here
