We're OFF! And tonight sees the start of the English Football League Championship when last season's 'nearly boys' Huddersfield take on the relegated Burnley (shame!).

It's actually a huge footballing weekend of course as there is the Charity Shield on Saturday at the King Power stadium in Leicester between City and Liverpool which is taking there because on Sunday, it's the Women's European Cup final between England and Germany at Wembley, so we'd better crack on then hadn't we?

@nathen007's Prediction

My prediction is :-
Huddersfield 1 : 2 Burnley
Josh Cullen to score the first goal

Vincent Kompany is now in charge at Turf Moor and they've made a raft of signings as there have been many departures so can he get their season off to a fine start?

Huddersfield of course, lost out in the play-off finals last season and will be wanting to start their new season with a strong push but I think Burnley will just have too much for them straight out of the blocks.

*Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER, and the CORRECT SCORE AND as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 19.45 BST (UTC+1) *

In the first goal scorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition is fixed at 50K. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer or correct score, the prize is shared, and everyone gets a little upvote! Don't forget, you can't choose the same prediction as me! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget new rule that only people with a rep of 50 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. My game, my decision is final.

Upvotes and Reblogs are NOT necessary to join in but gratefully received.

Also remember that...

YOU CAN'T CHOOSE THE SAME PREDICTION AS ME!!!

And the Winners Were...

Absolutely no one as what I thought was a shocking result saw Sligo Rovers beat Motherwell 0-1!
Better luck today gang.

That's it for today then. I'm so excited to be starting again so quickly and Leeds have their final friendly on Sunday at Elland Road against Cagliari before the Premier League kicks off again next Friday. Have a great weekend Ladies and Gents.

Marching On Together
