Nice to see most so confident about Reading Don't feel so confident after looking at the BBC preview (although being at the game if I didn't put a home win down I didn't want to put a high confidence on the game anyway!) . In fact reading that it reminded me of the start of Rodgers's reign... We struggled for home goals with him (and had gone months without a home win coming into the season, like this season, going back to Coppell's last season) and in fact we haven't scored a home goal under Adkins in any competition so far, whether it be in the prem or last week's friendly against Swansea (who tbf were described as brilliant in that game and do seem to be in brilliant form atm).

First week of the season is always the hardest I agree, the first week is the hardest. Didn't Rod Stewart write a song about that?

First week of the season is always the hardest I agree, the first week is the hardest. True, but I think predicting the first 3 weeks of the season in one go, like I did last year, is even tougher

Who says 1st week's are difficult? Five scores over 400 points! And brilliant to see 15 players, not sure we have ever started a season with so many players, I hope you all hang around and keep predicting, I think we only lost Sam from last season, and he make an appearance in the FA Cup Predicta. So well done Earl Purple, top of the board in the first week!! Last season's winner, Daz is in 6th, but the points are generally quite close. *Weekly/Monthly Leaderboard (1/5)*1 Earl Purple 451 2 Raliverpool 440 3 Wonderwall 429 3 Tom 429 5 Frag 418 6 Daz 396 7 Robin 374 7 Smokeyb 374 7 Shireblogger 374 10 Misterhamster 352 11 Murray 341 11 Andy 341 13 Paddy 319* 14 Maximo Mark 264 15 Suedehead 253 *Paddy I made an adjustment to your scores as you had two 8s in and no 4. Next Week#s Predictions, can always be found in the 2nd post, if I forget to post them up Any errors in there, please do let me know, ta. Saturday 10th AugustBlackburn v Nottm Forest Blackpool v Barnsley Bolton v Reading Brighton v Derby Charlton v Middlesbrough Huddersfield v QPR Ipswich v Millwall Sheff Wed v Burnley Watford v Bournemouth Yeovil v Birmingham

Thought my score would put me top 3, and it vindicates my pre-season predictions too All downhill from here! Certainly this month anyway. Just noticed this is a 4 week month, aren't their games on the 31st as well?

Oops, thank you Andy.
It is a 5 week month, since I have predicted for 31st...

Blackpool a few seasons ago and Bolton the year after that topped the league table after winning 4-0 away on their first game. Both teams ended up getting relegated those seasons.
Last season the first fixture table-toppers were Swansea and Fulham, and at least both teams ended up mid-table.
Still, it's nice to see my name at the top of the season table even if it is only after one week. But it's a marathon, not a sprint.

I did all 5 August weekends in one go, so some of the latter predictions may look silly!
