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!

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.

Username is ptholden, logon scabbers and I got the score completely wrong tonite, so a poor start, mind you who would expect Portsmouth to score 4 goals in one match!?

Got you in the table now! I started late last season but made up ground all the way through. You are not that far adrift. A few decent results and you will be well up there.

As a Southampton fan I can safely say this is one of the most bizarre starts to a season I can ever remember. What ever next.

Told you that Rupert Lowe was the problem. He really has gone off his rocker!! Or is it Beattie and Phillips hit the ball over the bar so much he ought to get a rugby coach in lol. 'oh when the saints go mauling in'.

I think we should adopt "Swing Lowe" as our chant.

If you guys don't mind a late entrant just registered.
CFC supporter - Registered as Carefree.
My target for the season is simply to beat that smug g*t Lawro. Judging his knowledge of football, 10 weeks of posting should be enough.

Can't seem to get it to recognise your nickname, you may have another log on name or the nickname is case sensitive.

Scrip - Just logged in to check - My nickname is Carefree and incredibly without kicking a ball I've got 13 points - Lawro has no chance !
Do I need to register in your league as the system has defaulted me to my own league ?
