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!

i thought it would be a draw but changed my mind minutes before the kick off, wise choice.

Updated table.

Looks like a slightly easier set of matches this weekend. Seems to be some value in Man City 4-1 not to beat Arsenal.

Man City to win 2-1, (they've got to lose some time!), but as you can see that I'm propping up the table, I'm not very good at this, although I did have a late start to the season.

You can get 25-1 for that bet.

As at Saturday night.

hi scrip how did you manage to put in the results before the end of the match, if the time of 17:47 is correct? i take it that includes the blues v bolton result.

I am silly scrip, you can return to edit it, i presume you got the everton score right, well done. 2nights game could be interesting.

After Sunday and Monday matches.

Kivver, You are correct I went back in and edited out my previous post. It was a good weekend for me. The results all "looked" quite predictable to me this weekend. I doubt if I will repeat that performance again though odds are massive to get so many correct scores in one go.

yes well done, i tried to be clever last night and thought blackburn may scrape a draw with a new manager and all that. But with mat jansen playing on the left wing you may as well play with 10 players. I do not understand playing plyers out of their natural position.

And i dont get paid 300 grand year.

A difficult set of matches to predict this weekend many that could go either way. I think 50% of preditors will do well and 50% not so well. I haven't a clue about the majority of the matches.

I'd agree with you there Scrip (as results to date are bearing out for me.)

IMO this year we have a league where the majority are of a similar standard from about 6th position down to all bar the bottom 3. Predictions are thus much more difficult, even on a Win-Lose-Draw basis, never mind the scores.

Still I normally call the Arsenal result right each week.

PS - Each week when I review this page I try and add all users to my league table. With the exception of Kivver/Scrip none of the other user names are recognised.

Could I ask all others to confirm their user names please ?

Click on the fabfive table. Despite netting a 5500-1 shot last week only 22 on the table!!!

i had so much bad luck it was untrue, ars 4 char 1, bcfc2 nufc 1, and others just 1 goal out on five matches, the margin between success and failure is minute.

A difficult week no doubt about that.

sorry for invading your thread on fantasy football but is anybody going to wrexham tonight liverpool/everton reserve`s,, should be a full house and its only 5.00 on the gate!
