Silverpaw Prediction League Round 22 - 4/5 Jan

[Freakitchen]

Fixtures this time are:

Blackpool - Birmingham
Fulham - West Brom
Man Utd - Stoke
Arsenal - Man City
Aston Villa - Sunderland
Newcastle - West Ham
Wolves - Chelsea
Blackburn - Liverpool
Bolton - Wigan
Everton - Tottenham
Blackpool - Liverpool

Another full set of midweek games, folks, so the first 3 games kick off at 20:00. Predictions in by then for them to count. From then we have a break until the 15th, so my results-typing fingers can rest

EDIT: A rescheduled match has been added to this round, please see Post 26.

This is far too much predicting, I agree

As Mr. Gary has noticed, we have our first rescheduled game. In the Premier League's 'I Know the Score' game, it has been added to this gameweek. Please could everyone predict again for this match. You can edit your original post in this thread until 8 o'clock tonight but from then on, please make a new post as editing after this time will invalidate predictions for any match that has already started.

So on the 12th January at 8PM we have:

Blackpool - Liverpool

 

[Freakitchen]

Blackpool 1-1 Birmingham
Fulham 2-1 West Brom
Man Utd 2-0 Stoke
Arsenal 1-1 Man City
Aston Villa 2-1 Sunderland
Newcastle 1-1 West Ham
Wolves 0-2 Chelsea
Blackburn 0-1 Liverpool
Bolton 1-0 Wigan
Everton 1-1 Tottenham
Blackpool 1-2 Liverpool

My decision to add the Blackpool game to this thread was given some (semi-serious) thought! First and foremost, DT last year opened up the game to include every fixture, which I thought was a great call and seemed to work well. For this reason, I thought it was difficult to justify NOT including a fixture (that was re-arranged after I started this thread, incidentally) just because it sat far away from the others.

Secondly, it was always my intention to follow the official 'gameweeks' as closely as possible. The Blackpool game was added to gameweek 22 on the Premier League's 'I Know the Score' game, so I did the same here. I even put a reminder in the coming weekend's thread when I made it, hopefully to catch those that had predicted here then forgotten about the thread. Sorry that you didn't see it, Ripper!

Actually, I was annoyed that this fixture landed where it did as it's made results for this round very late. Unfortunately this is a limitation of my spreadsheet that does the calculations. When it checks predictions against results, it treats a 'no entry' for a game as a 0-0 draw. So anyone who predicted that, or similar, would get points for it and completely throw the results. Hopefully I'll get a chance to sort this before the end of the season, as it would help when things start to get exciting!

Okay, this post is already insanely dull. But I wanted to give an insight into my thought processes re: rearranged fixtures and see what you guys think. I have no objection to making any changes to this game that the majority think is a good idea. Oh, and, results for this round up tomorrow Night all.

Apologies for the mild controversy this round too, guys. Since I asked people to predict for the Blackpool game at various points I think it's only fair that I include it in the results. If the situation does arise again, and a rescheduled game appears after I've made the thread and people have already predicted, I'll leave it out. Hope that sounds fair to everyone.
