You have until 10 AM to get picks into the 2011-12 Table Prediction challenge. I'll update the contest sometime after lunch with everyone's picks
I, unfortunately, won't be around for the first slate of games. I volunteered to work the rugby booth at the farmer's market this morning. I'm leaving in the next few minutes.
Crap. FSC was going to show Fulham-Aston Villa on delay in the 1:30 time slot. But the schedule now say Wigan-Norwich City. Because that's what people want to see - two of the most likely relegation candidates instead of Clint Dempsey. Way to know your audience.
Oops, games start at 9 Central. OH well, I guess you have until half-time to get your picks in.
OH SNAP! Suarez just missed a 6th minute penalty for Liverpool. Absolutely skyed it.
GOAL Liverpool by Suarez. Good ball in from Charlie Adam.
Suarez is a mighty fine player. I think he could really propel Liverpool towards CL this season.
Liverpool is good. Sunderland have generated a couple of chances, but it would be a pleasant surprise if they steal a point today.
Agree about Liverpool, I have them 4th. David Watts has them winning the whole thing!
Wow. Gorgeous goal by Larsson (new signing). We're all level!
And yes, I am pleasantly surprised with the away point. Good start for the Cats.
Sunderland is really taking it to Liverpool right now.
