Another flurry of minor updates.

The biggy is that the manual game analysis option now offers a simple prediction based on goals scored per game at home and away for the respective teams.

I used this method last Saturday for the Super 6 predictions and got 6 / 6 correct outcomes with one correct score. Looks like a great place to start!

The league select menu now automatically returns to the football menu when the user is done selecting a league. Option 100 has finally gone!

The football menu has got a little smarter. On loading, option one is to select a league. However, once there is a league loaded it becomes "Select another league". I love these little details!

The football menu now deals with predictions that are returned via manual game analysis. It adds them to the current list of predictions.

In the reporting menu the user can display the predictions generated in that session.

This will be awesome once I am able to scrape fixtures and run an automated analysis. I'm not fluent in beautiful soup, so it's gonna be slow and tedious, but I'm expecting to come out knowing a lot more than I know now!

I plan to have the user be able to select all relevant leagues and then run automatic game analysis. The app will then scrape fixtures, run analysis on each game and store predictions. I will have the option to display or export the predictions and eventually, the options to display or export analysis data. At that stage I can focus more on the analysis methods and evaluating previous predictions.

The road is long, but it's scenic!
