Headlines And Deadlines!

WELCOME ALL!!
It's a new season!! YAY!!

Welcome All New Comers!
Thanks to everyone for making this season a competive one!
Smythy has upped the level of intelligence needed to enter the competition, by not being able to type numbers onto a form!
Alistair Robinho could be a dark horse. Or a dark arse! You decide!!
Socks Rock has admitted he'd like to win the Cuddihy Cup, although he has some competition with so many hopeless cases this time out!!
My son has also decided to enter - he is called "Paddy Power" after seeing the advert starring Carlton Palmer! So I can only hope that I beat him - and I mean points wise, you deviants!!
Blade has admitted he has only entered to win the Cuddihy Cup (or that might have been to beat Cuddihy up - kidding!), whilst Connolly has a lot to prove after saying his football knowledge is second only to Keith Chegwin.

The Ben Goran Effect!
After the first weekend of results Ben Goran Elliotsen storms to the top of the table!
Although Ben Goran was accused of match fixing last season, whilst languishing at the top of Serie Ben, he is off to a solid start - only a £20 bribe ensuring a top of the table start this time!!
Only kidding! It was £30!!
Last season's "rear-ender", Cuddihy, has made a promising start and finds himself in 5th place.
The last time Cuddihy found himself in 5th place in anything, he had entered a Britney Spears Look-a-Like contest in Rhyl along with 16,827 competitors.
Meanwhile, I did quite well. Oh yes.

Jean Claude Opens Account With all Guns Blazing!
New entrant Jean Claude Van Pugh showed no prisoners by storming into 2nd place with a set of predictions that would make David Blaine proud.
The new Prem Predictor has entered the competition with a big profile thanks to some help from the lads of OMD and Erasure who are sponsoring his campaign.
Obviously his predictions have so far shown "a little respect".
DOH!
An impressive start, although like his namesake I'm sure he'll go AWOL at some time soon.
DOH again!

Coleman Claims 4th
Paul Coleman has staked an early season claim for a top spot, by taking the coveted 4th spot (as won by Le Dix last season).
However, last season the Coleman lost interest in PP and drifted to last place in the now defunct Serie Ben - so it will be up to Coleman to prove he can last the course. Great socks or not!
(For those wondering, there was a fantastic battle for 4th last season).

Nagle Watch
Last season's champ has managed a fairly pathetic attempt at retaining his title so far. Sure, it is early days - but I feel Nagle will see too much power around him to retain the trophy this time out.

Shaw's Battlecry
Prem Predictor recently approached The Shaw for comments on the season ahead.
When asked whether he had any thoughts to share with our fellow Prem Predictor brethren, he came out with the response:
"My only message to the fellow PPers is that the South London massive is going to storm the top of this league like Nora Batty on speed sweeping stairs.
That my friend is what you call a fantastical analogy."
Agreed. A fantastic analogy, but futile!

Threesome at the Bottom!! (OOOOOHHHH!! BABY!!)
Well done to Dave Lombardo, Blade and Smythy for amassing a great score of 27 between you!!
I can only hope it continues!!!
I'm sure you're enjoying the huddle at the bottom.
Still it is early days, and I am sure you can do worse than 9 points each over the coming weeks!
Excellent!!!
Just to reassure you, Cuddihy made a great start last season and still came bottom.
So hang in there!
There's nothing quite as embarrasing as being below Cuddihy - ask Peter Andre!!!

Stuliet Bravo
Despite his protestations, Stu has been bought out by a 1980/90's crime series.
Suits you sir!!!
Hence he is now known as Stuliet Bravo until otherwise informed.
The new owners are hoping to improve on a 4th from bottom finish.

Cuddihy of the Week
Everyone completed there scores, however there is still an award for Cuddihy of the Week.
It goes to ... ... ... ... Cuddihy!
Yes, Cuddihy wins the first Cuddihy of the Week of the season for moaning constantly and also filling in the scores for the games cancelled and telling me he knew he was doing so.
Also Cuddihy wore a particularly bad shirt last Thursday.
What a Cuddihy!!
On a personal note, I am glad to award Cuddihy with this as he truly deserves it. Despite his unsuccessful attempts at being a normal adult recently.
