We'll all be playing for the resplendent LOB Shield, which you'll see our current champion David Goldstein (aka, Man Utd Rules) holding up in the image below. Please get me your predictions in those categories by replying to this email (remember not to "Reply All" so that your picks are anonymous) by Friday morning, August 5, before Palace kick off against Arsenal at 3pm EST. As I've got my hands full with two month old twins right now, I've asked David to take over from me this season in updating the standings weekly throughout the season both on the LOB blogsite and here by email. Please let me know if there is a better email at which to reach you. 

Good luck to all of you this season!
