World Soccer: Barclays Premiership Prediction Competition 07-08

I have now taken it upon myself to start my own competition soley involving the English Premiership. Anyone caring to join in, then feel free to do so as every one is more than welcome. How i will start this off is by giving my own predictions on the opening week of the season. I will give my predictions over in a couple of days but in the meantime, can anyone give me feedback if they are willing to enter this comp. To save time in typing out the fixtures i post, it is recommended that participants paste then copy the list of games then enter the predictions. All entries must be in at least 15 minutes before the first game of that given fixture list. I look forward to hearing your responses.

There is also no reason why this type of competition cannot be started on this forum featuring South American League's and indeed any well established League's globally. It is a bit of an interest to pit each others wits against each other, and adds a fun factor to an already serious forum at times. Variety is the spice of life as they say.

Rules and Points system
Simply, the rules and points system will be as follows. For a correct prediction of a winner of a single game, say for example for instance Everton to beat Wigan, you will gain 1 point. To predict the correct scoreline, say 3-1 to Everton v Wigan, you will gain an extra two points. Predicting an away win will automatically gain you two points. To predict a draw will earn 3 points, but to predict the actual scoreline of that draw will win you an extra two points as with all correct scoreline predictions.

Matches are listed by the earliest kick off times and earliest date.

Points System in brief
Correct prediction for an Home win = 1 point.
Correct prediction for an Away win = 2 points.
Correct prediction for a Draw = 3 points.
Correct scorline prediction = 2 points added extra bonus.
