Predicto Championship Preview - Weekend of 8th August 2015

Welcome to the first Predicto Preview of the new season. It doesn't seem all that long since the end of last season but at the same time i have been missing the weekly dose of football.

We are still waiting on three regulars, namely Shoom, Muz and Sean, but the Preview won't be stopped!

We welcome three new members to the Predicto Championship this season -Tonedog, Mark and Eck. They are adding a +1 to the Jambo’s, the Gooners and the Arabs respectively and also broadening out the international reach of the Predicto Championship, now covering Ireland (Mark), Germany (Tonedog) and Ceres (Eck). Plus don't forget Ted pulling the influence all the way over to Taiwan.

a brief history for the n00bs (and a refresher for everyone else).

The current champ is Syd. The most decorated is Loaf (with 5 Championship Titles). Current Predicto Cup holder is Sandy.

so on to the preview itself (don't forget there will be a bonus, random, video as a reward for making it to the end of the preview)

It looks like the strengthening that Man U have done over the summer is enough to convince everyone
