With s1ut's permission, I decided to set up a confidence league in a similar vein to last year's competition. Well, it's exactly the same, to be honest. Go here to register your picks. Go here to check last year's thread if you are unsure of the rules. Deadline for picks is 10am on Saturday 11 August. That is all. Oh, except for: Avaunt!

Doing that really hits home how bad the Premiership is after Everton.

Right, I'm in.
I'm pretty sure I nailed it this time.

This should possibly be caused the Lack Of Confidence League. I know absolutely nothing about Division One this year.
Still, if I let complete ignorance stand in my way, I'd never get anything done.

Careful there Horn. The last guy who knew nothing about the (not) Premier (not a) League became England mangler.
Although I'd probably pay to see that - the first training session where you hand out nicknames would be a jape.

And then there'd be the commentary on the shuttle runs.

I think my first training session would just be an hour berating Stewart Downing.

No matter how hard anyone argues, I'm pretty sure the top division in English football is still a league. 20 teams where each team plays each other home and away, with allocation of points for wins and draws, where ties on points are decided by the difference in goals scored and goals conceded, looks a lot like a league to me. It's the fact that it's not a ship which really gets Horn's goat.

The MorePremierThanAnyOtherLeagueInEngland League doesn't have the same ring to it to be fair.

I agree with Elth. And your waffling makes me want to smite you, Boo. But I can't be bothered.

I like the fact that Oxford are in a Premier League this year. The Blue Square Premier League, no less.
But, anyway, I've placed my confidences in the teams taking part in this year's MPTAOLIEL. I haven't found any pundits in the media making their predictions yet, but if anyone can point me to some, or a bookie's interpretations, then let me know...

Go to any online bookie's, Boo and I'm sure you'll be able to find a list of odds to win the MPTAOLIEL.

Although I'd probably pay to see that - the first training session where you hand out nicknames would be a jape. "Look, it's perfectly simple. You've got the same surname as Mickey Rooney, who's so short he looks like someone's sawn his legs off at the knee, right? Plus, your first name makes me think of Essex fucknuts driving lime-green Ford Tossermobiles. So, I don't want you answering to any other name than Sawnoff Capri from now on, alright? Now, put my grandmother down and get back to training."

Well, I tried - it seemed to mess up and then accept it and then... I dunno if it's there or not.

Just do another one with a different e-mail address, Pops. Then if the first one is a sham, just claim the moral victory for getting your excuse in early.
