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!

Listening to the match though till Villa scored Spurs looked the more dangerous.

Caught up with Lawro, now watch your backs Scrip, Golga, and Kivver - I'm coming to get you.

Reasonable day yesterday with several games 1 goal out. Got Arse down for a 1-0 away victory, so as per usual I'd be delighted to get this one wrong.

Interesting midweek fixture for Man U/Arse reserves - a few sendings off would do nicely.

Didn't get the Chelsea result did you?

I for one didn't, especially given that Lawro et al have christened us as Boring, Boring, Chelsea. The media certainly know their stuff !

Perhaps a future in TV beckons - god knows we could do with a replacement for Lawro.

Well Arsenal seemed to have bottled it so if the blues can keep the run up then a very good chance of the title IMO.

Kivver, What is going on in your neck of the woods. At this rate you will be almost as bad as us by Xmas.

Hi scrip., i think we;re already worse. Same old story,loads of possesion in the first half but only one goal. Poor second half, fans are now starting to show their frustration which isnt going to help. Some big matches coming up against the V**** (no swearing) and the Baggies, this could make or break our season. I was thinking about what striker we could go for, was thinking about Kevin Phillips, is he for sale????

Wait until the end of May and more than just Phillips may be for sale unless we do something quickly!

Carefree romping up the rankings in the last couple of weeks!!

Cheers Scrip - That's probably put the mockers on my little run !

Good weekend for my boys, with Newcastle matching us, maybe shading it for an hour. On comes Bridge etc, and with the extra width the last half an hour was all ours. If Kezman hadn't required a goal, then I suspect that we would have got more, as clearly his team mates were doing all they could to help him off the mark, and missing easier chances in the meantime.

Hope this prooves to be the catalyst for more, though I still have my worries about him. How he's got a better record then Ruud is beyond me at present. - Still time will tell.

Kezman is very good at hitting the woodwork. When he stepped up for that penalty I couldn't believe he chipped it.

Chelsea do look the biz at the moment and Arsenal appear to be fading fast. Should be a good scrap at the top from now till the end of the season. I think Chelsea's test will come when they have there first dodgy run. How they respond to that set back will be the defining moment.

Aresnal got just the confidence buider they needed against that shambles i support. We ahve just completely lost our way and its hard to see how we will get out of it, because the rest of the team know they are wasting their time because we have noboddy to put the ball in the net, Oh well a couple of og's against the vile will do us the world of good.

Wasted a joker tonight to. It can only get better.

This is a strange season. Arry Redknapps red and white army! ROFLMAO!

scrip, if southampton are pleying away to portsmouth, and saints are having a bad run (not scored a goal for as long has you could remember, what score would you predict? I have that dilemma this weekend.

All depends on the scoring power of the team they are playing really.

There is a correct score spreadsheet on this site.

no loyality in your predictions then, i would rather chew hot coal than predict the V***A to beat us.

i cant believe we beat the V***a it could have been 5, we were awesome the fist half. Turning point maybe. Listening to the match chelsea just equalised, hope this is the final score.

I thought it would have been a draw, simply on the basis that teams are usually up for it on these sorts of occasions. Surprised to see it come in as a win for Brum though as they have been pretty poor of late. Not as much of a surprise as conceding two goals in the last two minutes for my team though!!!

A rotten weekend for me, Just about every result wrong. It happens I guess.

Kivver just mulling over what it is about Villa that they can't beat you. Could be something to do with the goalkeepers; there seems to be a curse in place. Had to laugh when I watched the highlights last night. Will never beat that OG last year though.
