Jillyanne Posted 2 July, 2010 Author Share Posted 2 July, 2010 Tried that and couldn't see where to enter my prediction??? Any chance of a screen print please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 2 July, 2010 Share Posted 2 July, 2010 Seems a little more confusing than before ? Anyway, click on Prediction League in menu at top which leads to this : SaintsWeb Prediction League The concept's simple, predict the score in every Saints game and score points based on how accurate your predictions are. Score 10 points if you get the result and score spot-on or 5 points if you get the result (win, lose or draw) but not the score right. If you didn't get the score right, you also get 1 point if you correctly predicted the number of goals one of the teams scored. The SaintsWeb Prediction League is open to all registered members of SaintsWeb. If you're not yet registered, click here!

chrisobee Posted 2 July, 2010 Share Posted 2 July, 2010 Sorry, I can't remember if Saints are away do we still put their score 1st or the opponents ? I'd imagine the opponents score first but I really cannot remember:blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 3 July, 2010 Share Posted 3 July, 2010 As the coming season will be my first go at this, can you just clear the scores question up for me..? Obviously, for Home matches we put Saints score first, but for Away matches, do we put Saints score second..? That may well seem obvious to anyone who has done it before, but it's just as well to be clear. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 3 July, 2010 Share Posted 3 July, 2010 To clarify, ALL predictions should have the Saints score first, regardless of whether we're home or away. I have emphasised this on the "My Predictions" page as it wasn't clear. Ponty, the reason I've done it the way it now appears (i.e. you submit one result at a time) is to avoid the situation we had last season where you might only predict one actual score, but the rest would be entered as a default 0-0, meaning if we ever did draw a game 0-0, those who couldn't be arsed to actually make a prediction ended up with full marks This way, if you don't predict a result for a game, you won't score any points.

That actually makes sense, Steve. The bit about 0-0 results, anyway. Now, I'd better go and edit some results to show Saints score first, else I'd be challenging a few others on here for negativity.

St Landrew Posted 3 July, 2010 Share Posted 3 July, 2010 I'm going to do them month by month, I think, and as I've decided that Saints are going to come out of the pre-season blocks faster than a-very-fast-thing-coming-out-of-the-blocks, I only had to adjust one score for August.

Thoroughly honest of you too. Guess what..? Of the 3 league and 1 cup games during August, I've got the lads winning them all..! How's that for realistic optimism..? I reckon they can do it too.

No, 45 games of course. My theory is simple, I back Saints to win ( a few draws in very hard games), if they do win great, if they lose then I'm really not bothered about a wrong prediction as opposed to 3 lost points!

I don't think we'll run away with it, as that would be entirely unlike a Saints team, and besides, I don't know how I would cope without a bit of uncertainty, but I believ we'll do it with a few points to spare.

But given we almost certainly will then it will be more than by a few points. Compared to say the 1977/78 promotion team the squad looks fine except it lacks the flair and bite of Ball/Williams in midfield and maybe right back though I'm confident we will sign a right back and at least one CM player. The main thing is apart from two loaness in Papa and Antonio we have not lost anyone nor are we likely too though of course a few believe we will ( Lallana, Schneiderlin for example, Lallana definitely will not leave and I doubt Morgan will either.) Would not be surprised at all if Surman returned nor if there was one very major and surprise signing, I have an inkling who it might be but the only clue, a big one, is on my Twitter page !!

Blimey, I believe you've spent a few minutes thinking about that one. As it happens, I also think we have a strong enough squad to win the league, probably right now. I'd like a guarantee or two, as in the resigning of Papa and Antonio, or something like their quality. Actually, I just like them both resigned, as they were so good, IMO. But it really doesn't look like that'll happen. Big announcement on the cards though..? I'd settle for them. I don't think anyone else is going anywhere. They all know what's expected of them.

I never claim to be ITK though I'd say it's about 60/40 this player will sign, I'm working on it though naturally he can't commit himself until it nears a definite conclusion.
