I am signing up to the following if any body wishes to follow me. I will update and post the league table on this thread. Did ok last season but joined late and was unable to catch up the leaders. Here's hoping for a better result this season!!

The new Premiership season kicks off on Saturday and this year BBC Radio Five Live's Challenge Lawro will be bigger and better than ever! What's more - we've also teamed up with BBC Sport's Football Focus. Tune into BBC One every Saturday from noon for the Premiership pre-match build-up and to hear the presenters give their predictions on the weekends' Premiership action.

Win with Challenge Lawro

The prizes aren't bad either - the Manager of the Month is invited onto Five Live's Drive programme to give Peter Jane and Mark, their footie predictions...and also awarded one of our shiny new Manager of the Month medals. At the end of the season, the player who has scored the most points, will be presented with a special Challenge Lawro trophy by the man himself. They will also be offered the chance to come into our London studios to be a pundit with Mark Lawrenson!

Last season, over 120,000 people registered to play Challenge Lawro. If you think you can take on your friends to be the champion of champions, then get playing now!

Congrats to Dave37 who is off to a flyer. As for my alter ego, now down in 170ish place from 26th. I can't believe even a small number of people have got so many points. The leaders are on 26!!

Cant understand why people are having trouble logging on. It is case sensitive, so you have to write down exactly how you sign on.

Well done, Kivver. Latest table. I've had a better weekend after cocking up my entry last week. Leader of the entire table on an incredible 40 points.

I see Southampton are off to a good start. Is this a record, Sacking your manager after only two games. Unreal. I saw on Betfair the odds were 2-1 for him to leave. Never guessed it would be so soon. Next up Graeme Souness.

Cheers scrip. Well its now obvious what the problem is at st marys some bloke called rupert lowe. To come out say the board run the club and two days later say he has gone because of media attention seems a bit weak to me. 10 managers in 10 years is that a record? the love affair with glen hoddle, will it continue.

Soon be able to field a 'Southampton Ex-managers Eleven' ;o)
Gerard Houllier in the frame after Wigley?

I think the press are going OTT though. Jones had to leave, Hoddle left to go to Spurs, Grey was never a replacement and Strachen had had enough. So record not as bad as it seems.

Kivver, I"m a Palace supporter, hopefully my portfolio won"t do as badly as them this season, I"ve lost count of how many managers we have had in the last 10 years, Steve Coppell came back 3 times !

Yes and you had my hero Trevor Francis managing you, sorry about that, he did an ok job for my team bham city. But he was a fantastic player, the hairs used to stand up on the back of your neck when he got the ball. I was also very sad to see AJ leave and he seems to be doing a good job for you.

Cheeky Trev was still a fabulous player right to the end with Sheff Wednesday - definitely in my tep ten English players.

I would rather forget about his time as our manager, you definately got the better part of the deal ( Steve Bruce ). Trev was a fantastic player though, we could do with someone like him to help us against Chelsea tonight. AJ is one of the hardest working players I"ve ever seen, if they were all like him we may stand a chance tonight.

Brian - I think Francis was playing for sheff wednesday when he scored a fantastic hat trick against our arch enemies 'the v***a' (no swearing) at the age of about 36.

Stubax - i think you have to be realistic about palace in the prem, they have done fantastically well just to get there. It is a massive step up and you cant replace a whole team. Just enjoy the year and the chance to see great players. Hope you stay up but it will be hard job even with new players. That Routledge looks a bit handy. Better to be like West Brom rather than Leeds, Bradford, Sheff Wed, Barnsley etc.

My charge up the table continues!!
