NNN usually posts a reminder just before the event but Ive just remembered & sorted out my predictions along with my Fantasy Footy changes.
Don't forget your predictions folks. (Though we could do with RalphCoatescomb missing a couple of weeks to give everybody else a chance).

I'm not sure if other participants read the BBC column that covers Lawrenson's predictions v selected guests?
Of late there have been a fair few people who clearly know nothing about football - particularly a selection of North American sportsmen such as American football players/basketball players & members of rock groups etc who dont even recognise the names of the teams- let alone their capabilities.
It irks me that the Beeb do this, there are plenty of "celebs" here who actually follow/understand footy, maybe they just need some cannon fodder for Lawro to beat.
This week, at least we have a Brit comedian who I've never heard of but is a Spurs fan and clearly is a follower of the game.

While it appears to be a runaway by you Ralph, a technical fault notice on the predictor means that you may not be officially crowned until after the season has finished.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the penultimate weekend of the 2017/18 premier league season.
Well done RalphCoatesComb on a runaway success at winning the UTC league this season.
I'm pleased that many of my fellow Clarets were able to join and I hope you've enjoyed the bit of competition among ourselves.
I'm already looking forward to the start of another season for the UTC BBC premier league predictor, but until then and for the final week 38, all that's left to say is....time to register your predictions.

It disappeared from my BBC Website page about a month ago, it was normally showing under the gossip banner. It still isn't visible so I thought it had finished early. Just done this weeks by using the search facility.

BBC already said they cocked up the scoring. Also said they won't be fixing the issue. My scores all wrong.

The "programming" has gone to pot recently on this. I also do the (AE Sports) Fantasy Football which must be hugely more complicated to programme but is clearly more efficiently managed.
Makes you wonder how the Beeb selected the DP personnel who are involved here.

BBC arsed this up big time. (They admitted they can't fix it)
Waste of time.
