It's not because of being fussy, but simply if you put out of Spurs and not Tottenham, Villa and not Aston Villa, Palace and not Crystal Palace, for some reason the big central Sunderland computer goes bananas, because there's an automated alphabetical check-off. Means we have to edit each one by hand ... and we're on about 40 forums now, it's getting mad!!!

Next weekend, last weekend before the Premier League kick-off I’ll have the national average selection and your forum average entry once more …
For now though, you might be interested to see the proposed table by Oddschecker, who have made averages from 24 different betting firms. From all of those, you’d get this average:

Manchester City
Chelsea
Manchester United
Arsenal
Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur
Everton
Newcastle United
Southampton
Aston Villa
West Bromwich Albion
Swansea City
Fulham
Sunderland
West Ham United
Stoke city
Cardiff City
Norwich City
Hull City
Crystal Palace

--------------------------------

Generosity! Anyone can change their selection up to day before kick-off.

If you wish to change opinion in the light of transfers etc. then simply write your NEW selection and include it as a NEW post on this thread and I’ll include it as ‘good’; much better than going back and editing your initial post, because I'm bound to miss that!

Next weekend I’ll give all the entrants lined up on each forum; check your name to make sure I have spelt you perfectly correctly (capital and small letters, hyphens etc…)

Have a good week, and still almost two weeks for more entries!!

Progess Report

If, after 533 entries the total guesses are evened-out for a big average, the final league table would look like this:

1. Chelsea
2. Manchester City
3. Manchester United
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham Hotspur
6. Liverpool
7. Everton
8. Swansea City
9. West Bromwich Albion
10. West Ham United
11. Fulham
12. Newcastle United
13. Southampton
14. Sunderland
15. Aston Villa
16. Norwich City
17. Stoke City
18. Cardiff
19. Hull
20. Crystal Palace

But, there are normally one or two surprises, it’s very unlikely that the real table will be as ‘average’ fans say, it hasn’t other seasons - so use your intuition if you haven’t entered yet! Still nearly one week before we start – entries till next Friday, DAY BEFORE PREMIER LEAGUE KICK OFF!!

Please check I’ve spelt your name correctly! Or haven’t missed you!

OK everyone, last entries are to be received tomorrow, FRIDAY, by 11.59pm! It’s not being a ‘jobsworth’ here, we have to further prepare all 600+ entries over the weekend and if we accept weekend entries we’d never finish! So very sorry, none to be counted on Saturday, it’s been up nearly a month now!

Latest figues as of Wednesday 14th August - 622 guesses / from 38 forums (with 37 of these included in the forum average game too.

Just a word; what I’ve been doing in some previous posts is only numbering the individual entries. Doesn't mean anything it itself, except that of course the more entries the more chance statistically the best individuals from your forum will be well positioned overall, but anything can happen.

And in the separate forum competition part it is not vital having lots at all. It's simply a minimum of 5 needed to get a forum average, but once there reached it's an averaged out forum guess from all predictions on a particular site so ... you're on equal footing whether it's 6 participants or 50 from a forum - all to play for. However, with lots of guesses in an ‘idiot’ selection does get minimalized!
But you never know what’s in store; if someone has - for example – Palace down for 10th and they did in fact finish 10th, then that person would be 8-10 points better on that guess compared to nearly everyone else - who (really sorry Palace fans on this occasion!) have decided Palace are a choice down for relegation. So points are awarded, then added up, on EVERY team and how far out you are, both for the individual awards and the team forums - that’s why your best thought-out order is what we're after! Lots of points are BAD; means you’re way out with positions. Ah, but which teams might throw a surprise then, either better or far worse than most expect? I simply dunno … ah, well that's the real beauty of football, and what makes this game fun!!

What IS IMPORTANT to know is that after this weekend’s premier league fixtures the first REAL fan points come onto the table and the first national order produced. Have fun – should be up middle of next week.

What do I win, you’ll say?! Short answer is FAME across the land on over 40 forums ... end of season awards are:

1st placing/s - Honorary Gold Medal
2nd/s - Honorary Silver Medal
3rd/s - Honorary Bronze Medal
4th/s - Diploma of Honour I
5th/s - Diploma of Honour II


As farfetched as it may seem, some of the winners last season of our games have incorporated the names of the Medals/Diplomas onto their signature this season, and even done special fan feature interviews !!

Easy! You all sit back and relax, we do the work from now on, all during the season!!

As we kick off, monthly and usually fortnightly updates will be available on this forum – regular updates of all your own members’ progress and the top 50 or so of the national charts – see who are the top notches. But things do vary radically through the course of a season!

For comprehensive complete run-downs on everywhere and ALL entrants you will be able to find it on the organizing Sunderland Black Cat Chat forum, at:
http://www.blackcatchat.info/viewtopic. ... -%20p34283
This is the BIG list, and centre of operations!

And as a second option I have a back-up on the “Talk of the Terrace”, useful too because it’s a national forum, this will cover the first 250 or so nationally:
http://www.talkoftheterrace.net/showthr ... 3-14/page4
Reading’s Royals Rendezvous (my forum) will also repeat the TOTT figures as a third option!

just one thing – about the forum ‘average’ entry, we’ve had a couple of posts about this:

when I started this, I found that they don't use normal adding up and averaging by divide system at Sunderland – and by the way, the admin man of Black Cat Chat should get the plaudits for the maths not me, he’s a computer programming man by profession, I just enjoy the ‘outreach work’! What they do is make a single average forum selection from the guesses received as if it were an entry itself, then mark it against other forum "entries" in the same way. Supposed to be pretty fool proof in the way they calculate it, even gives a BETTER idea of membership intentions, but you ALL play together and so you all should know it's not at all just a question of 3+4+5=12 divided by 3 = 4 ...

But I’ll try to get put up on here your members ‘average’ league table positions over the next few days so you know exactly what your collective final choice was!

1. Chelsea

very sorry, but can't accept those now, the Sunderland organizers wouldn't let me, because the season has already started - closing date was last Friday. The thread has been up almost a month before that ...

OK here goes, the CARDIFF average prediction was the following, so this is actually your 'forum' entry, as explained previously. The number by the side of each forum name is the final number of members for this forum:


30 Cardiff City Forum
Cardiff City

1 Chelsea
2 Manchester City
3 Manchester United

12 Swansea City
13 Norwich City
14 Fulham
15 Aston Villa
16 Sunderland
17 Cardiff
18 Stoke City
19 Hull
20 Crystal Palace

And the hypothetical overall final table one if you put all the nearly 700 entries together – the FANS say it will finish like this!!

1 Chelsea
2 Manchester City
3 Manchester United
4 Arsenal

6 Liverpool

TOP 50 OR SO NATIONWIDE INDIVIDUAL PLACINGS



The overall Leaderboard. This shows some big changes from last week from virtually everyone. For example, Tinycowboy was 1st (the first leader of the season, deserves your plaudits, lads) and is now joint 90th though points are still clñose at the moment. The league table will continue to shuffle around forthcoming months, no-one need get despondent!!

But as of this week WELL DONE so far to Rubik’s Tube (Norwich) and splottbluebird48 (Cardiff) who have really exceptional points at this stage. Also we can see Barnsey, Wigan, Newcastle (Toon Forum), and Liverpool fans making a very strong start too. Remember that there are nearly 700 fans in all enrolled for this, so all the top ten are Champions League stuff in the fan world!!

Regular updates will be available, usually something appearing every fortnightly or even more frequently – which will show varying updates of all your progress and the top 50 or so of the national charts – see who are the top notches. But things do vary radically through the course of a season! Don’t despair if you don’t see your name near the top (yet)!!

Sometimes we will show your own forum update and national lists, and at others you’ll see how the Inter-Forum Competition is hotting up. We won’t be showing more than about the top 50 on here (some forums have limits to size of postings anyway) so for comprehensive complete run-downs on EVERY entrant (almost 700) you will be able to find it on the organizing Sunderland Black Cat Chat forum, at:
http://www.blackcatchat.info/viewtopic. ... -%20p34283
This is the BIG list, and centre of operations! Obviously go to the last or last but one page.

And as a second option I have a back-up on the “Talk of the Terrace”, useful too because it’s a national forum with fans from loads of clubs, this will cover the first 250 or so nationally (again turn to the latest posts):
http://www.talkoftheterrace.net/showthr ... 3-14/page4
And, in case of emergency – hope not! - Reading’s Royals Rendezvous (my forum) will also repeat the TOTT figures as a third option!

Tell your friends!

By the way, previous link was bad - big individual list is here:
http://www.blackcatchat.info/viewtopic. ... 283#p34283





FORUM COMPETITION

And here is how the forum averages pan out. Remember the following charts refer to the averaged out overall entry from ALL members on any particular forum with at least 5 participating members – which was virtually every forum by entry date. As always … any forum which is nowhere near the top of the leaderboards - relax - it will all change. Any of you who are near the top, don't relax as it will all change!

We can see that the outstanding start last week by the Vital Football – Newcastle forum has come to a quick end, they’re now down a place. The so-called ‘experts’ from Media & Communications are now top – I hope that doesn’t last long because we’re talking about guys like the BBC’s Lawro! We’ve gotta show them up!

But the Liverpool FC Forum have done very well this week and moved up lots of places, alongside Vital - Newcastle. Brighton, Hemel Hempstead (non-league but ALWAYS do well in our games!), and Wigan make up the top six, take this as if it were the European places. But Barnsley, Blackburn, QPR, Swansea & West Ham are breathing down their necks; it’s very tight, and the first points bonuses (which will gradually open up distances) don’t come to the beginning of September. And rest assured it’s 100% above board – see the forum organizers Black Cat Chat (Sunderland) and Royals Rendezvous (Reading) near the tail end of the forum field. The wooden spoon currently lies with the Ex-Men forum, but I can virtually promise everyone that things will change over the course of the season, there’s hope for all!!!

slight error, bonus points ARE AWARDED FOR BEGINNING OF September, JUST FOR TOP PLACES NATIONALLY - THESE EXTRA DEDUCTIONS ARE VALID ALL THROUGH THE SEASON ...

The Forum Competition League Table (inc Bonus Points)

And here are the latest inter forum results. The biggest news is that Norwich City fans have come from mid-table obscurity to be rampant leaders! Liverpool and Newcastle continue to be right up there, but the surprise is that it is the Toon Forum and not Vital Newcastle who are flying the colours up north. Welsh fans are very highly placed too in the forum charts. Cardiff, containing the overall individual leader at present, and Swansea City are both top six. Blackburn, Hemel Hempstead, QPR and Wigan are all flying too in the top dozen. Perhaps the so-called experts are correctly paid for their work? I say that because the Media guys and the Blog entrants are also in the top dozen too.
For whom has it not got going yet for? It’s unfortunately the Posh Forum, Talk of the Terraces (TOTT) and the United Lounge who are currently holding things up, but points differences are really minimal. One of the organizing forums, the Sunderland Black Cat Chat, is doing none the special either at the moment!

Have fun browsing, and let’s see what happens next!! Things WILL change - undoubtedly!

The Forum Competition League Table (inc Bonus Points)

And here are the latest inter forum updates. These, for me, are by far the most interesting of the season so far. Because of the HUGE changes that have gone on during the last couple of weeks. These should give hope to EVERY forum if you haven’t had a lift so far!
Firstly, you have to give biggest credit of all to the Peterborough Posh Forum, they’ve done a miraculous climb. They were recently in 39th and last place, yet they’re now hooked in at joint second overall. Brilliant stuff. Yet Spurs “Tottenham Hotspur Unofficial Supporters Site” have almost done as well – they were near the ‘relegation’ positions and are now outright LEADERS at this stage. Watford’s WFC Forums have also made a dramatic surge up into the top positions as well, and Blackburn are very well placed too
I’m sorry to say that Norwich’s glory at the top was somewhat short-lived, they’re now around middle again. But Liverpool, Newcastle (Toon Forum) and Cardiff forums are maintaining their good progress, and Chelsea, already good, have increased their presence still further.
Brighton haven’t been able to sustain their position and have momentarily plummeted, and the Vital – Newcastle forum, after leading the boards the very first week are now with the wooden spoon.
But as I have continually said, these tables are volatile, and we will continue to see big ups and downs until at least after Christmas, when we should have a much clearer picture of which forums are going to be gunning for the end of season fame!

Next week, if you don’t mind, I’ll take a week off – it’s time consuming work and a breather would be nice - so I’ll be back at the very beginning of October and that will include all the bonus points for the best so far at the end of September.

Keep smiling everyone!
