Last updated : 18 October 2006 By Gary Holmes

Footymad's exciting "Beat The Manager" competition here at the Golden Boys continues to hot up with Nascot narrowly leading the field with 91points, ten ahead of second placed Cats Eleven.

The Golden Boys FC are third with early season pacesetter, Our House Restaurant after a slight dip in form, still handily placed in fourth spot with 74 points.

However, there is still plenty of time for anyone joining right now to have realistic ambitions of claiming the "Beat The Manager" title at the end of the season.

Think you can do better than the current crop of "Beat The Manager" players?

Of course you can, so why not sign up today and make your first prediction for Watford's next fixture, the all important clash away to basement dwellers, Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

A reminder of how to play

Those of you who play the pools will know it is difficult enough trying to guess whether a match is going to finish as a home win, away win or draw. In "Beat The Manager" it's slightly tougher, as we ask you to predict the actual score line!

You predict your own team's league games throughout the season, but as well as competing against other supporters of your team, you also get the chance to challenge players from other teams in the same division.

16 points are awarded for predicting the correct score line, with 5 on offer if you find the correct result. Bonus points are available too, with 5 if you correctly predict a draw, and 2 for each team's score you guess correctly.

Players from previous seasons can just log straight in and predict on the first couple of games, and new users are more than welcome to join and will have to fill out a short two-minute registration form before they begin.

"Beat The Manager" is free to play and is intended as a light-hearted just for fun game for everyone to play, so join in now and see if you can see off all comers to claim the prestigious title of "2006/07 BTM Champion".

To start playing, simply click the "Beat The Manager" menu option under the 'Games' category on the left navigation bar.
