Depends on whether there's fixture congestion or not. Has been known to happen...

Unless someone decides to amend their prediction before kick-off*, which wouldn't be breaking any rules... ;-)


*Allowing for EDF clock time delay

It would be breaking the rules.


You are not allowed to do that!

Of course you are. On PredictAddict you can change your predictions as many times as you want peior to kick off, after which it 'freezes'. If a prediction has been made on here after the official kick-off time then it will become void. I will work out what the time delay is after I've posted this...


Currently 5mins, so any predictions posted within 5mins of kick off will be void...

It's been re-arranged for next Monday, 24th...

By my calculations, 2 players definitely out, and it's 1 from 4 for the other wooden spoon place.

In the event of 2 or more players finishing on the same number of points, the player with the highest number of correct scores from all 3 rounds will go through. If it's still a tie, Ots gets to toss his double headed threepenny bit again...

You're right RD.


I don't think I was including the Sheff Wed predictions when I did the calculations.


I still don't think you should be allowed to change them. The fact that you can do it on predict addict is totally different because you can't see anyone else's predictions!


Just my opinion.


I certainly won't be changing mine to 2-1 just so I'll stay above you!

There are pros and cons with a ban on changing predictions. For instance if Barca announced today that Messi, Iniesta and Xavi were injured in training, I'd want to be able to change my prediction to reflect this. I think if someone did what you describe, it would be quite obvious and their 'win' would be tarnished. There are other loopholes in the format too, for instance there's nothing to stop someone waiting until everyone else has posted their predictions before posting their own. I can think of one player who is regularly one of the last to post their predictions... coincidence or tactics? I guess it comes down to the morals of the individual...

What would you do AM if you were one point behind me, and we both made the same prediction for the the Shef Wed game, thereby it was a 'dead rubber' and you couldn't beat me? Personally I'd have no problem if you changed your prediction. I think that is different than someone deliberately posting a matching prediction to stop a rival from catching them...

Not sure about everyone else but I never look at what else people have predicted

It's all about the fun of getting it right? or am I missing something


as for changing predictions I would rather get them in and then leave alone

that way everyone in same boat

I wouldn't change them on principle. Plus I'd feel like I cheated. I'm not that desperate to get into the top eight.

      I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards

      postal collections

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.

      postal collections

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.

      Missing cat

      By Roddy · Posted

      My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
