and then the car turned in to fire
Welcome to the 2014/2015 Official TRP Contest Thread! We have an exciting matchup this year between two prolific strikers who are set to take the Premiere League by storm:

Bojan Krkic
Nationality: Spain
Current Club: Stoke City
Career Club Goals: 66









Jozy Altidore
Nationality: USA
Current Club: Sunderland
Career Club Goals: 75









Instead of doing a straight goal scoring challenge, this year the contest will be a goal difference challenge. What does this mean? Simple: Which striker will have more goals in the Premier League and how many more will he have than the other?

You can make your estimates up until the start of the first PL match of this season, which is this Saturday, the 16th of August, 2014 at 12:45 BST when Manchester United host Swansea. Your entry should be formatted as follows:

Top Scorer: Pick one of Jozy or Bojan
Difference: Pick the goal difference between your chosen top scorer and his rival
Bojan goals: The number of goals you think Bojan will score
Jozy goals: The number of goals you think Jozy will score

Here are a couple of rules:

Own goals do not count either negatively or positively for the player.
Only goals scored in the 2014-2015 Barclay's Premier League competition count.
You may make 1 (one) entry in to this competition, which can be modified up until the beginning of the competition, at which time it will become official and non-modifiable.
The competition will end after the final match of 2014-2015 Barclay's Premier League season.

Prizes:

The winner of the contest will receive a forum upgrade of his choice (archives, plat, new avatar, etc) and will have the right to mercilessly troll one team of his choice the next season without fear of probation.

Tiebreakers:

The winner will be the person who chooses the correct top scorer and has the closest goal difference. In the event of a draw the winner will be the person who most accurately predicted the goals scored by each striker. In the event of a draw after this, I will declare a total draw and all of the posters involved will be probated for a week.

That's it! Feel free to post any good clips of these two players so everyone knows who to cheer for!

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

Bojan will score 10 goals, surpassing Jozy's tally by 8 despite Big Jazzy Jozy doubling his scoring tally from last season. Bojan will also be very attractive in a twinky way, and Jozy will continue to be athletic.

I think Bojan will score 9 goals and Jozy will score 2 goals for a difference of 7 goals.

Bojan will score 5 goals, surpassing Jozy's tally by 5 because Jozy will score zero (0) goals.

yelled at for having.
I predict that Bojan Krkic will score six goals this season.

I am optimistically guessing that Josmer Altidore will score three goals this season.

By the wonder of mathematics, I am therefore predicting that Bojan will surpass Jozy's total by three goal-slams.

From what I have seen of preseason we are going to do a fluid front 3 of Arnautovich - Odemwingie - Bojan and he will cut inside a fair bit.
