Ha, somewhat. Also didn’t want to soil the final day of the Premier League with that Championship muck 

New and final thread is up -

Welcome to the Premier League 2017/18 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.

-- Why Premier League, Villa are in the Championship? --
We did the Championship last year and it was a slog. There are just too many mid-week games per season to keep up with, so it's back to the Premier League.

-- I see a Villa prediction, what gives? --
If Villa play in the Championship on the weekend of Premier League fixtures then I will include the Villa game as a bonus prediction. Getting the correct results for the Villa game will give you 2 points instead of 1, and the correct score will get you 4 points instead of 3.

-- Making a Prediction --

1. Head on over to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q0EQFXauzVahxeUprjXRBbVa_G4VEWKVYWt9Dzw4pec/edit#gid=1844145816
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 Fantasy Football Fixtures Page let me know if I miss something due to a game being moved or postponed etc.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

Yours truly topped the previous week

Czechlad shoots himself in the foot and allows andykeenan to go top by two points. imavillan comes out of nowhere to also challenge! Big final week, right down to the wire!

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

-- Bets --

I will aim to stick a bet on each prediction for the final day, so try and get them in before Saturday afternoon if you want a chance to "win".

-- 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

All games are 3pm on Sunday.

Marcus Speller from The Football Ramble has Villa down to beat Fulham in the final to win promotion. Good enough for me

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

Dem_C tops the table and rubberman comes a respectable second.

You could not write a better story than this! Both andykeenan and Czechlad share the top spot with 341 points with a bumper week to go. I am not sure I can take this much excitement!

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

-- Bets --

Each week I will aim to pick two predictors and place a quid or so on an accumulator bet for their predictions. Should we win, they'll get 10% of the winnings to be paid via Paypal.

Both of the bets lost last week

-- Good Luck --

Huge double gameweek and kickoff is tonight (Friday) at 8pm.

-- Previous Gameweek Results --

Czechlad tops the gameweek and andykeenan finds himself the wrong side of the middle. Rodders surprises everyone with the joint top score

Which now sees Czechlad go from 2 points behind andykeenan to 2 points in front!

I wondered why it didn't come up on predictive text. 

Thanks for your grammar policing though. 

I can only assume you have a bunch small Filipino boys in the basement because you have won the deal to supply the new England kit. 

Err yeah, England kit, that’s right

Are Luke 1977 designing it for almost free for the exposure it brings them, are Fanatics going to produce something which is better quality than something a small Phillipino boy has produced in a sweatshop which a big brand supply to us at a ludicrous price, and supply that better product at a reasonable price. 

Filipino. I should know, got a bunch of them in the basement 

Working for me now too, good stuff

With the lack of people mentioning this, I'm guessing its only affecting a hand full of people? 

Goes straight the to last post in any thread still. The strange thing is though, if I manually go back enough I can find a blue line where my actual last read post is (where it used to go to directly when clicking on a thread before the change)

Yeah, i see the blue line too. So it knows when the last post was, just not going to the correct inline anchor on the page.

I’m having the same issue as above. Clicking the post title takes you to the last post, but expected behaviour is to take you to the first unread post.

Another tight week between andykeenan and Czechlad. An absolute disaster for me, hanging my head in shame.

So andykeenan pulls another point ahead of Czechlad but there really is nothing in it, this is how you end a season!

So many opportunities not taken. Hope it doesn’t bite Villa in the arse?

If it doesn’t tonight, it will surely do during the playoffs? How many times have we failed to kill a team off nice and early?

Leeds will fight for the ball and frustrate us with a team performance despite injuries. 

No clue from Bruce, will need another piece of individual brilliance. 1-2 Leeds

You know it is a terrible week when Rodders comes out on top

Oooh, it is tight at the top now. Czechlad pulls back another point on andy "im-a-retard-and-keep-putting-spaces-at-the-end-of-my-name-in-the-sheet" keenan

Big double gameweek with kick off and deadline being Friday April 13th at 7:45pm for the Villa game!

Since Brucey will keep us in the Championship for next year what about the Cowley’s from Lincoln City? Got the right attitude, can get the right stuff out of cheap players, seem to be decent at picking the right squad for the right game. Up an coming etc?
