Official SB 2011/2012 EPL Prediction Thread **UPDATED THROUGH MAY 13**

Ahh, here we are knocking on The Beautiful Game's doorstep. Only a couple short weeks stand in the way between us and the best part of the year. Football season. Stars will be born, trophies will be won, enemies will be made and hearts will be broken. And through it all, the Soccer Board will remain our home(barring a Gooner meltdown).

So now is the time for each loyal SB member to give their EPL prediction for the 2011/2012 season. Also, I thought it would be fun to put the Soccer Board's knowledge to the test. On August 12, I will compile a SB EPL Table based off of each poster's predictions. So you will have until then to submit/edit your posts.

This is how it will work:

Each poster needs to assemble a full table prediction. I know this may seem burdensome, but at the end of the season, it would be more fun to put the SB's full table prediction against the actual full table result. Each position in the table will be awarded a point amount, starting at first place with 20 points and continuing in descending order until dead last. Each poster's table will be tallied up, and the results will be compiled into one large table. Obviously, the club with the most points will become the SB champion.

Let the games commence.
