Time for a changing of the guard- Sypher and gtho4 will not even finish in the Top 10!  I probably will not, either, but I will sure try hard...

Is this a different game to the other PL game I already signed up for? If so I'll have a go at this one as well. Yes and no. You tip the same fixtures as the FT-PL, but in this one, instead of a head-to-head comp like the FT-PL, only your tips count in this one. You're not playing against someone else.

The Summer of Discontent has finally been cracked by the opening volley of the world's best football league - The Barclays Premiership. Let's all stop blaming the bankers for the world woes and instead drift our attention to some of the richest footballers in Europe, who earn more in a week then you or I do in a year. But enough of the moans, it's time to give you a brief recap of this week's matches.......
I think this opening week has a few firsts....No.1 - Only 9 matches instead of 10 were played due to Tottenham looking like Beirut instead of North London. In fact, whilst we are talking about Tottenham, rumour had it that last week the club were on the brink of signing two Italian brothers - Nickatellie and Grabatellie.
No.2 - Not one home team had won a match all weekend and before you say 'what about Man City?', they played on Monday night.
Bolton could claim they were kings of the premiership after trouncing new boys QPR 4-0 whilst Man City taught Swansea how to play football in England and sent them packing back to Wales. Only Norwich could secure a point with an impressive draw at Wigan....(don't laugh). The Big 4 - Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, perhaps I should revise that as Arsenal and Liverpool haven't won a trophy in quite some time, but look at me, I'm going off topic - Anyway, only Man Utd won and that was by a typical late goal.
Back to our ever growing league - The number of players this year (21) is a marked inprovement to the number of tippers (17) who were still participating at the end of last season - a massive 21 players . A BIG and warm welcome to all the new faces !!
Last year's winner paper_aero and runner-up Sypher have settled into third spot whilst gtho4, who came 3rd last season can be seen admiring his spoon along with several others, but hey, it's early days, there's plenty of time for everyone to collect their silver dinner service set.
BxBarracuda starts as the leader with a score of 5, not bad but not good considering this score was exactly the same as their starting points last season, and that gave them 5th place. Just shows how bad everyone done this week....Teams as well as tippers. Wait a minute, there's a newbie up front as well. Who is wwe84? Apart from their name giving away their favorite sport (if you can call it that), is this a fluke score consdiering they were the ONLY one to dare pick a draw against Liverpool. Who in their right mind would go against King Kenny on opening day? You can put your hand down KrivoyRog, we know you went for Sunderland.
So, that's enough of me rabbiting on, and please be aware that sometime soon your name will be bolded, whether that's a good thing, only you can decide.
Arsenal to be relegated this year - one can dream!!. |

consecutive weeks without a spoon:
58 weeks DanielPoulson [ FAPL ] weeks 17-38 of 2009-10 comp plus entire 2010-11 season
This streak is still running, and became 59 weeks after week one of the 2011-12 comp. It became the
longest spoon-less streak in any tipping comp at FT when it reached 54 weeks earlier this year in April
.. and it's still growing. And I'm not far behind in MLB...53 and counting.
