There has been a lot of mind games going on this week,..
St Charles trying to frame a fixture mix up on myself, Zinman trying to unsettle me by firmly laying the blame at my table, and Bomber accusing me of the pitch being to hard and dry ........
But just so you all know I will be employing JRods solicitor and the above named people will be receiving that little envelope through the door very soon .....
So will he, wont he, will he, wont he ? Its seems DD is having a little game with all of us, especially Zinman..... Is he leading him into a false sense of security,?
Weeks of bad scores, then a recovery one week and it's all happening again,
Get this sneaky post just 2 games in on Saturday morning ..........
Quote 'DD' "Oh I give up"
Interesting psychology that as DD then topped the table with the help of a spot on Gamball and a impressive 20 Points thus throwing the Title into doubt once more.
Runner up with a decent 13 points was St Charles who nailed 3 exact scores although due to the Fixture problems may face a points deduction.
In 3rd spot for a nice change was Amelia, who after a shaky start recovered with two exact scores and 9 points.
In 4th place and 6 Points was Joker, Its the only time he sees the top half of the table when its a low scoring week and overall does not help him one little bit. Regarding relegation the fat lady is clearing her voice.
In equal 5th we have Derby & BBB with a modest 4 points each, now BBB decided to change his Gamball the night before from a Boro 2-1 win to a Derby 2-1 win, a move that overall with the score swing cost him 20 Points and top place on 24
Is this the worst ever edit in the history of the prediction League? I personally think so.
Down in a lowly 7th spot is Zinman with let's be honest for someone who is top a rubbish 3 points, how this guy remains top with theses scores only Jurgen Klopp knows,......... Or is he still top ?
Matt and Sanjay end our positive scoring down in equal 8th with just 2 points and then we have our two minus men.
Poor old World Class is at it again down in 10th place with -2 and the Wooden Spoon this week im afraid goes to Twerton with a awful week and only 2 correct results and a score of -7
Not long to go now keep it going guys ...
Beefy
Well with 32 weeks gone and only 3 left, we’re still not sure of who the title winner will be, Zinman held his nerve holding on to top spot and carried on his run of positive scores for the 7th week, but not posting a score over 10 in that same period.
Compare that to DD who although posting a maximum minus ?, has also posted 2 scores over 20 in that time to sit just 7 points off the lead in 2nd.
I made the mistake of discounting certain players from a tilt at the title a few weeks back when thinking they were too far back to mount a challenge,
but such is the Prediction League with swings of 20-30 points possible in a single week, I’m now saying that all those down to 5th still have a chance of lifting the trophy this season. That brings in Sanjay in 3rd, BBB in 4th and even St Charles who although only 5th is 39 points away from our leader, 2 or 3 final good weeks for some and 2 or 3 bad weeks for others could still see a real twist in the tail as we head towards the end of the season Derby climbs a place into 6th and more than likely sits too far off the pace to have any say, and sits closer to those below than those above, Worldclass slipping a place this week to 7th to make way.
A similar tale for Matt in 8th who looks to be heading for safety after a belated start to the season but who is now firmly in the sights of Amelia in 9th who had her best week since week 23.
Odds on for the drop are Joker in 10th although he did manage to climb off the bottom and Twerton who now sits at the bottom of the pile. It’s going to take 3 good weeks scoring and slip ups from those above if either have any hope of retaining their Premiership status next season
. Bomber
Two winners of the gamball lottery this week with both players predicting a Boro win also going for the correct scoreline. Baggieone comes out on top this week with an impressive 29 points from 7 correct result predictions continuing his late charge for promotion. B1 was also one of a minority of players to get his bonus right and his great recent run of scores will soon be worrying those above him.
Last week saw Lord Snooty give up the league leadership that he'd held for so long as his winter slumber dragged on. Obviously startled by the sight of Beefy climbing on top of him - and suffocation might be the least of his worries
- Snooty finally woke up and secured second place with 21 points. Having finally hit the top last week, Beefy may be a bit quieter this week though he still managed 3rd place, just creeping into double figures. I think all of us should be grateful for Arsenal's 4th goal which denied him a maximum bonus score and saved us from numerous gloating posts.Bomber continues to try to cling on to Beefy's coat tails and claims 4th place thanks to a much improved Sunday performance. Salop was another one thankful for a good Sunday as his 8 points from those 2 games saved him from a negative week. 4eva's promotion push continues to stutter but at least he managed a positive score.....
.....unlike this week's 3 minusmen. It hasn't been a good season for Stairs, Vic and Quantum and this week was no different. Stairs got 4 correct results and was helped by his insurance ball but no correct scores and losses on both the gamball and bonus pushed him into negative territory. Vic's random number generator let him down again but at least kept him off bottom spot. That honour (?) goes to Quantum who at least seems to desperate to challenge Vic for this season's wooden spoon.
Zin.
I still blame Beefy.
Much like the Premiership, I’ve probably been guilty of writing off peoples chances of promotion way to early as 1 in particular player made me eat my words after the last couple of weeks
.3 weeks of the season left and we have joint leaders after 32 weeks of predicting, Beefy still holds top spot courtesy of having more correct results AND correct scores than Snooty. Even though they’re showing 1st= in the table, should it go down to the wire that’s how the final positions will be decided if points are equal. 320 games predicted and not a point separates them. Are they nailed on for promotion now or will one or two of the chasing pack hunt them and their promotion places down at the death
?Well the springer in the pack is the same person I half-heartedly wrote off a couple of weeks back as BaggieOne climbs 2 places and up into 3rd to sit 19 points off our top 2 having scored 44 points in the last couple of weeks to throw his hat into the promotion race, a repeat over the next 2 weeks will see him topping the table
.Making way this week are 4eva in 4th and Bomber in 5th and sticking my neck out more in hope than anger, I predict the top 2 will come from these five. 26 points separate 1st down to 5th so if any can throw in a couple of high teens or into the 20’s then promotion is still firmly in their own hands and within their grasp
.It’s 50 points then down to Stairs in 6th, with another 3 points back to Salop in 7th as these 2 continue their own little mini battle that’s been nip and tuck for the last few weeks now.
Our also rans are led by Quantum in 8th and Vicar in 9th who remains the only player yet to top the 100 points for the season. If one of his 8-5 or 8-6 results come in I vote that he gets triple points on that result
