Hello everyone
Apologies for the delay in the results I didn't return from a few days away until last night,So just a quick write up then i will get the fixtures up later tonight
So congratulations to DD who ends his miserable run to get back into the title race with a whooping 28 points,
Closely followed by BBB in 2nd spot who also had a great 26 points
In third was Joker with a nose bleed and 13 points, closely followed in 4th by St Charles with 11 backing up his good week last week,
In equal 5th was Derby and Zinman both with a moderate 8 Points (squeaky Bum time) For Zinman at the top
In 7th was Sanjay with 7 points then there's a big drop to 8th as the minus men kick in, Matt after his recent good run shudders to a halt with -1, World Class also after improving gets it wrong this time with -4, then Twerton suffers this week with -7 and 10th place,
Finally and sad to say Amelia got everything wrong apart from one game so not surprisingly finish bottom with a awful -10,
Cheers guys things looking mighty interesting going into the last 6 Weeks in both Divisions.
Beefy
All change at the top of the Premiership as a familiar face in the form of DD takes over top spot
. After being top dog for 17 weeks earlier in the season, he now sits in pole position for the title with, by my reckoning, just 6 weeks of the season left.The lead though is only 3 points over Zinman, who drops a place to 2nd after 7 weeks at the top and while he’ll be going all out to finish the season strongly, there’s a dark horse galloping up on the rails who could be coming with a perfectly timed run, as BBB sits in 3rd ready to pounce on any mistakes by the top two. Only 9 points separate the top three and it’s looking like our title winner will come from one of them.
Back in 4th and now in sole possession of it is St Charles, who may now be too far away to mount a title challenge, likewise Sanjay, who slips from a shared position last week into 5th, but you never know
.Worldclass in 6th couldn’t repeat his recent surge of late suffering his first minus for a while and looks like he may have the flip flops out ready for the Summer, probably too far back to climb the table and comfortably clear of any relegation fears.
A similar story for Derby in 7th, who seems to have stopped his alarming slide down the table when he suffered from a mid-season slump after spending much of the early season in the higher reaches of the table.
Matt retains 8th more by others failings, than his own successes but it does mean that he manages to increase his advantage over his relegation rivals in the process.
Amelia, still seeking membership of the 100 correct prediction club, appears to be in free-fall
and the heady heights of the top 4 from earlier in the season now seem a distant memory, although the points she gained then may well be enough to keep her Premiership status intact as she holds the last position for safety in 9th.Twerton couldn’t apply any pressure from 10th and only succeeded in putting himself closer to Joker in 11th, who needs to back up his decent score this week with a few more like it in the closing weeks to pull off “The Great Escape”
Bomber
Quite some variance in performances this week and I suspect that the promotion race is beginning to hot up with certain people struggling to cope with the pressure. Bomber, despite an irrational belief in Albion's competence, leads this week entirely as a result of being the only player to get the gamball score spot on but arguably this week's better performance came from Quantum. On Saturday night Quantum was looking at a potential record score - from the 9 matches, he had correctly predicted 8 results and, by playing his insurance on the only wrong prediction, had no negative points. Sadly Chelsea chose to roll over and so ruined a near perfect weekend for Quantum, but fortunately for him (and some of wish we'd done the same!) he chose not to gamble and so the damage was at least limited. Quantum was also the only player to get his bonus ball right, but that serves most of you right for trying to rely on Villa!
After a mid season lapse, 4eva appears to be coming back into form with 6 correct predictions including the gamball to give him 3rd place this week. Stairs also predicted a Spurs win to help his score to respectability.
And so to this week's strugglers. Beefy has obviously peaked too soon (apparently a common problem for him) and is crumbling under the pressure as we reach the final weeks of the season. I suspect he'll go into hiding now for a week or two, but at least he avoided a negative score.Vic correctly predicted a Sours win but chose not to play the gamball - sadly some of his more interesting predictions didn't quite come off. Snooty appears to be another one losing form at the wrong time with his second consecutive negative score - time for the head to rule the heart? Salop was another one predicting an Albion win and compounded his irrationality by playing his bonus - I admire the optimism. Bottom this week is Baggieone - only 1 correct prediction to give him his worst score of the season and surely end his outside chance of promotion?
Zin
All of a sudden it looks like there might be TWO promotion places up for grabs as Snootys tremor at the top has the makings of turning into a full blown earthquake
. The lead that stood at 38 points just four weeks ago is now down to a mere 4 as we enter the final six week run in.Bomber, courtesy of nailing the week changing Gamball, was this weeks “glistening gazelle”
majestically leaping two places into 2nd to apply some pressure to our long-time leader, and now holds that precious promotion by the skin of his teeth.Just one point back in 3rd is 4eva who continued his recent improved form, the third Tottenham goal actually stopped him from hitting the summit again after holding top spot for so long not so long ago.
The chase for promotion doesn’t end there though, despite dropping two places into 4th, Beefy, suffering at the hands of the controversial Gamball, is only a further 5 points back. It now looks like perm any 2 from 4 as the top four are now separated by only 10 points.
BaggieOne suffered a nightmare week and lost valuable ground in 5th and possibly sits too far away from the top 4 unless he can muster a couple of spectacular weeks.
Stairs, up a place in 6th and Salop down a place in 7th experienced polar opposite weeks, with the former enjoying a 23 point swing to move ahead of his nearest rival by a solitary point.
Quantum retains 8th and should consider himself unlucky not to improve on that after having part of his excellent week only slightly foiled by Sunday’s game
.BaggieVicar, still holds up the rest of the league in 9th, and is still just shy of the 100 point mark, though only by a solitary point, if only that 8-8 had come in or if he’d braved the Gamball.
Bomber
wait till Bomber sees what he's put
