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!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/challengelawro/index.shtml
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!

Hi Kivver, Thanks for the welcome back. I had the blues down for a 1-0 win so I cursed that late goal!!
It's certainly getting hot at the bottom. It's suddenly looking brighter for us and all I can hear in my head at the moment is that music from the great escape. Harry will be a god for ever if he does it. It's going to be so tight though!

Saints and Harry are good for the prem, Camara looks a good player and scored a cracker against my team, i was sitting in line with it and ball went so fast you could hardly see it move.

The end of the season is almost upon us. Damn West Brom for scoring that late goal else I would have been three points better off and Southampton would still be out of the relegation zone.

Well done scrip and thanks for doing this. Im up for it next year if your still interested in doing it. Comiserations on going down, but i think WBA are lot peoples second favourite team in the midlands so well done to them. If you can keep Harry you should come straight back up. Good luck and thanks again.

I will run it again next year. Maybe with more entrants.
I was at the match and it was a bit of let down. But Man Utd where a class apart is has to be said. We never looked like winning in the second half and the last half an hour nothing really happened no fire in the belly no last mintue dramas a bit of a let down.

FYI, I'm famous! But at the expense of my own football team.

Scrip
Off topic, but on sport. Are you still able to make the Golf Challenge?

Yes should be OK, Just going through a manic spell so haven't visited the thread in a while. I will probably come up with Cunningham I guess. Will discuss with him in the next couple of days.

Sorry I should explain, It looked like I was about to go on TV but I think the research department were too sceptical to go ahead with the story.

Thanks Scrip and all opponents - interesting story you posted on the prediction front.
Would love to join in next year, but I must admit that I lost faith in the BBC site over the xmas/new year period, so quite pleased with my official performance.
Enjoy the summer break everyone, and here's to a competitive league next season.
