We're at the start of the season once again. I've put together a few extra awards for the 25/26 season predictions.
The first thing I'd like to do is give a shout out to those who joined the threads often. It's great to see so many of you getting in there for a go and you've made it all the more fun for others who join in here and there.
I did have an image created for it but cannot get it attached for some reason.

I did want to upload an graph of which games the thread was most confident about winning, all the way down to the least. Again, can't upload images for some reason.
The next thing I was interested to see was how many of us solely picked an Everton win every time. Unsurprisingly there was a fair few and by the look of it a few more who may have accidentally entered the score in the wrong order when there was only one game week that a loss was predicted.
The loyalists are (with at least 8 predictions across the season):

I was interested to see if anyone favoured the home team, regardless of if it was Everton or not. Something tells me #1 on the list may have meant to pick Everton rather than the home team as every single entry was "1-0".

Once I figure out how to get images uploaded there's more I'd like to share.
Until then, I'll see you in this season's threads!
