There is no "balls' in making dumb guesses before the squads are complete.

it's just noise

A friend of mine runs a fantasy football league down this way and out of 78 people NOBODY ( including fans of the club) went for Bournemouth in our division.

Right.

2015-2016.

I'll go for Ipswich and Forest, with Bristol City via the play-offs.

Yet you felt the need to search for it and drag it back up again.
What was the reason you thought it was "worth a revisit" then?

Dearie me.

In reply to Pepe ,2 went for Watford with the most popular being Cardiff , Derby and Wigan.
It's a good competition based on picking winners of all English (including the Conference) plus Scottish Premier excluding Celtic with the scoring of 1 point for the winner and then other points based on positions in the division.
Having won it previously I mirror RFC this season in languishing in the lower regions and despite pickin Man City, Southend and Bristol Rovers I also cocked up big style by going for Wigan and Leyton Orient. :cry:
The winner is currently unreachable on just 10 points which is remarkable.

£1000 to the charity of your choice if it comes in. £1000 to me if it doesn't.

To make the point that those predictions were a waste of bandwidth

I think you kinda miss the point Snowy.
Making predictions for people is a bit of fun , in fact the original point of Hob Nob was for people to have a bit of fun.
Particularly in the last couple of years it has become less so and at times incredibly boring and too many posters are intent on point scoring or being nasty to each other.
Maybe these things run in tandem with how the team is doing so hopefully if we do better next season the tone of posting will be better-we can but hope.

Here's an idea Snowbs - if you can't say anything nice, try not posting.

I think not.
