I'll post a link to the Prediction Challenge when I get home. I can't access Google Docs from work computers.
Also, a quick vote on the scoring.
1) 3 points for correct position, 1 point for +/- 1 position, or
2) 3 points for correct position, 2 points for +/- 1 position, 1 point for +/1 two positions
Both have a bonus point for picking the champion and one each for correct relegation teams. That is if you have Blackburn at 18th, and they're 20th you would get a bonus point because you predicted their relegation, even though you missed which of the last three places they'd fall.
Kind of interesting that the first two days of EPL action saw zero home wins.
Spurs will begin what is sure to be a long ponderous run in Europe's consolation prize tournament on Thursday against Heart of Midlothian. It's kind of fun playing a Scottish team because they are both close and also a guaranteed win. Even Rangers or Celtic wouldn't be a test anymore. The SPL has really gone downhill.
