15th

I don't know how to do that now the thread's already started.

Maybe a mod knows... ?

How are you collecting the money?

I'm happy to organise that through PayPal if enough people fancy a flutter.

I'll just have to work out how, but I've managed it before.

Boring history fact. When striking your colours you would take down your flag, signalling surrender, the enemy were then allowed to board the ship which would be taken as spoils of war. Nailing your colours to the mast meant you were unable to surrender and would fight until the end.
During the battle of Trafalgar , a French ship was boarded when the flag was seemingly lowered. It was explained to the boarding officers that is was accidental and not a sign of surrender, the officers then apologised and left to continue the battle from their ship.

Oh sorry , 16th.

So how are you  all doing? I think this thread  creates  a bit of perspective, though sadly I am closer to being correct  than  I would  like!

 

Not too many predicted top half

 

Most were pretty much spot on - and these were predictions after a season we worried about relegation at times.
