Hello.

With all the excitement of the world cup, it would be easy
to forget about the greatest and most important competition
of all -- the UKSF Opening Day Fixture Prediction Competition.
It's been running since 1999, has no scoring system, doesn't
really have a point, has never had a winner and definitely
never will. It really is the perfect competition.

Simply predict the opening day fixtures and that's that. It
couldn't be easier. No-one will check if you've won or not
because there's no scoring system, which makes it all the
better. Your 20 teams this year are:

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Birmingham
Blackburn
Blackpool
Bolton
Chelsea
Everton
Fulham
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Stoke City
Sunderland
Tottenham
West Brom
West Ham
Wigan
Wolves

The fixtures are announced on Thursday at 10am so you should
probably try to have your entries in before then. Or don't. You
can enter after that if you like. I don't mind. Best of luck to all
entrants.

Yay! I like when Mikey says hello.

Hello, Mikey. How have you been?

AVSWTWP. Also, I really feel that this year is my year in this comp.
Traditionally I tend to under-perform in this one (who can forget my 2003
'Everton vs Spurs' fiasco, which to date is one of the wrongest predictions
ever in the history of Youksef. At least, it probably is. I never checked
and neither did anyone else, might even have been correct), but this season
I'm sure I've found a winning formula. What's more, I'm going to apply it.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Birmingham vs Blackburn
Blackpool vs Bolton
Chelsea vs Everton
Fulham vs Liverpool
Manchester City vs Manchester United
Newcastle United vs Stoke City
Sunderland vs Tottenham
West Brom vs West Ham
Wigan vs Wolves

These are almost definitely the opening day fixtures.... I hope!!
:))))))))

At first I was upset that you had posted what I had independently
understood to be the winning formula as well. Then it dawned upon me
that we had both missed the important flux capacitor step.

The winning fixture lineup is:

Arsenal vs Wolves
Aston Villa vs Wigan
Birmingham vs West Ham
Blackburn vs West Brom
Blackpool vs Tottenham
Bolton vs Sunderland
Chelsea vs Stoke
Everton vs Newcastle
Fulham vs Manchester United
Liverpool vs Manchester City
