  1. Was thinking about what Coen said a few posts up. Who would be up for a regular prediction game? Suppose if we get a few people up for it then we could either start off in here or have a dedicated thread.

    I think personally it'd be best to have a leader to keep it organised. Have a little league table going to add a competitive edge. Then I guess we could take an initial vote to see what we're predicting. Either:

    - Champions League games (3 month break between Dec/Feb and not regular)
    - Games in a single league (E.g. English Premiership, not really fair for the members outside UK)
    - Selection of games from major leagues (Requires a bit of research to find tasty fixtures)

    I'd personally vote for predicting correct scores as opposed to home win, draw etc. This way we can have 3 points for a correct score, 1 point for correct outcome and 0 points for completely wrong prediction.

    And in terms of the games we predict, I'd be more in favour of a selection of games across Europe, maybe 6 games plus an extra 4 picked from European/domestic cups played midweek.

    Anyway, enough of what I think, what do you other football fans think?

    sounds good im up for it
  4. iTim great that you took initiative here, realy like your proposal for a mixed European Competition Prediction Game. We should select 4 or 6 matches every week from the best known leauges; England, Spain, Italy, Germany as well as the Champions League and Europa League. Incidentaly we can add matches from Portugal, Scotland and Holland when there are interesting fixtures. I will be more than happy by picking the matches and posting everything in the right topic every week. Can you then keep up with the scores and rankings?? I dont care about the kind of predictions, scores is fine by me, but wont mind the Home - Away - Draw system either. Hopefully enough people will join us here....
  5. Yeah let's draw some rules and open a new topic. Would be fun.
  6. I will join you guys ... and win

    Yeah I'd be happy to organise the rankings. Don't think we should start up though until we've all agreed on the best format to take us forward.

    Should be good though
  8. I'm for the Home - Away - Draw format, would be more fun than scores. Just someone to pick 10 matches in Europe (or five?) before the weekend, and then people can predict these games here. One point for a good result

    Let's see who wants to join, from those countries a few matches + one of the biggest matches in Europe (the classics, Real/Barca/Inter/AC Milan/Man U/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal vs each other etc.).

    Remy
    iTim
    Bart020
    Andrew_C
    jopvr
    Coen

    So just 6 players so far right?? Shall we wait for more or just start a 'league' for the six of us? I would suggest to just start, others can join us later on...Agree?
