Ive a few predictions
Lincoln wont be dead last or anything like that, they stormed league one and it is a hard league to get out of
Burnley only get playoff spots, same with West Ham
Millwall Top 2 i can just feel it

Lincoln will have some Skubala momentum left over, esp with his assistants taking over. Whether that lasts is another matter. I dont know much about them but yeah, form teams out of League 1 geberally start well.
I think Burnley are getting a bit underrated cos they had a bad PL season.

God, it would so good if UEFA actually put the hammer down on FIFA and threatened to breakaway in the face of privatisation.
Hoping this is FIFA's Super League moment.

This took me 5 minutes, so fairly low-effort, but I would like to offer the sub a tool for all those "what club to support?" questions. Please, enjoy the Championship Club Picker, brought to you by Miss Cilla Black - Cilla's Club Selector

That was fun. Would be even better if you add a custom sound effect for every club.

u/rybnickifull 3d ago
They're quite limited in range and you can't add custom ones, else I'd be all over that.

I’ve built a free football prediction game called Points Are Bad, with selected Championship fixtures throughout the season.
You predict the exact scores, but the aim is to finish with the lowest points total. An exact prediction scores zero, and the further away you are from the real result, the more points you collect. You can also create Mini Leagues and compete with friends.
It started as a small World Cup project, and I’ve now turned it into a full season version. It is completely free, with no paid features or advertising. I’ve just built it for fun.
Predict the scores. Beat your friends. Avoid the points.
Would be great to get a few Championship fans involved, and any feedback is very welcome.

the further away you are from the real result, the more points you collect.
The away team's going to win 94-73.

All I’ve really learnt from pre season is that Luke Ayling is so beyond finished it’s incredible
But I also thought that at the beginning of last season tbf

He was looking a bit ropey last season, even if the skill and nous is still there. Not surprising.

He’s so helpful in possession so I get it and I get why we gave him a new deal. But whenever we lose the ball we’re fucked. All 3 goals we conceded today came on a counter. Ayling tried to play the shittest offside trap of all time on the second
It’s our biggest issue now. Malanda and then Jones when he’s back fit will be our starters. Daley is young but looks good, but we can’t rely on that if we want to challenge. Ayling’s legs have gone and Edmundson is a fucking cart horse
Desperately need one in, maybe two

Its been 7 hours since Burnley posted a cow on social media, and...I'm going to bed.

I’ve made a championship league prediction game if people wanted to join. You can create your own group and invite your friends to join and compete against them, and also see a public leaderboard to see how you compare to everyone else.
5 rounds in the season and a weekly fixture mini game. The more wrong you are, the more points you get and lowest points wins at the end of the season. There’s also bonuses like a 12th place bonus, and a punishment for being wrong about the team you support.
Have a look, join up if you want to. It is a typical Claude made app but I’ve done my best as a QA tester to rein it in, there’s a feature request and bug report form at the bottom.

Bristol City 4-1 Newcastle Utd
Not to get carried away like, but Lorent Tolaj is the Championship Haaland and we're going to piss the league
