Updated table after yesterday's games. Bolton and Millwall let most people down but at least those Scunthorpe from Scunthorpe helped people out! Only a handful of predictors scored more that 2 points and the week's winning score was 4 points by Casual D - well done little bro!!

This has lifted him up into joint second place and the gap halved between the leader and the chasing pack (I knew I couldn't keep it going!!)

Next week's games are already up and running so get those predictions in!

Update after yesterday's games and it was yet another poor week for scoring. Thanks mainly to the likes of Bradford, Charlton, Millwall and MK Dons who all failed to win their games, there was a whole host of zeroes and only a few people with 2 points or more.
As it was, the week's winner was Tinned with 3 points - well done mate!

Not much change in the table but a few people have moved up. Still pretty tight in these early weeks so keep persevering!

The postponed games between Swindon and Bristol Rovers is being played on Tuesday night so any points for those that predicted it will be added when next weekend's update is done.

Next week's fixtures thread is up and running so get your predictions in!

Currently NINE points behind JJ - after just SEVEN weeks. How is this even possible? :?

Surely it's all over!?

HA!

Two points; Firstly, he's gone off much, much too early - a silly amateurish mistake. You never see me do this kind of thing.
Secondly, I am me, and can reel in ridiculous pace-setters like this with ease. The history of this league is built on the dried husks of arrogant predictors who thought that they were safe building 13 point+ leads, and cried themselves into oblivion as I sailed past them, blew a huge raspberry, before gliding through the finish line with consummate ease!

I haven't even begun to start thinking about getting going yet! 8) :wink:

PS - where are Saddla and Swampy?! :mrgreen:

I didn't think numbers went that high, I mean low, I mean that far down ... it's an absolute disgrace!

Why I am being asked to compete with predictors clearly out of their depth. It demeans the entire contest.

10 points off the pace and two prediction weeks missed. That's enough of a head start for you lot, my annual assault on a top five finish starts now. :mrgreen:

Updated table after yesterday's games. A much better week for scoring with quite a few 3 and 4 pointers and only a few blobs. But the week's winner, for the second week in a row, was Tinned with 5 points - well done!

No-one scored any points from the Swindon v Bristol Rovers game on Tues evening as Rovers won, so that did not have any additional affect on the table. With the second weekly win in a row, Tinned has shot up the table, and with a flurry of 4 pointers, there is some decent movement this week.

There are games this Tuesday and Wednesday evening, so make sure you don't forget to predict - the thread has been up and running for a few days now.

Blimey! Nosebleed time.

Like a club we all love, I will promise so much but eventually deliver so little :mrgreen:

First 3 point haul of a strange season. The final click of gears coming into place or another false dawn?

A barbed harpoon plunges into the dark flesh of the whale of destiny. Game on! :D

This sounds like an opportune moment to remind you, and everyone else, that I've finished above you TWICE in the last TWO seasons, recording FIRST and SECOND positions.

Ahem, I've just woken up and recorded 3 points for the first time this season. I'm just getting started. Watch out boys (and girls) here I come! :D

Updated week 11 table after yesterday's games. Amazingly low scoring with countless blobs and only 7 scoring any points! Of those 6 people scored 2 points, which was the winning score so well done to: derbysaddler, Andy_Petterson, Cully, Ancient Moaner, Tinned and Maverick!

Not much movement after such low scores but it has bunched a few up.

Next weekend's games are up and ready for people to predict.

Updated table after this week's games. Low scoring overall, but probably not because a few games were off but that some of the bankers people went for didn't come off. The week's winning score was 3 points, achieved by Canadian saddler, Donnington saddler, The Bosted Slab, Exile and me - well done to us all!

Next fixture week is next Saturday 15th. The thread is up and running now.

Latest table after yesterday's games. Very good scoring on the whole and a rare week where no-one scored 0 points! Lots of 3s and a few 4s but the winning score this week was 5 points, achieved by me!! :oops: :shock: :D (I'm sure this form can't last much longer - my rabbit's foot is wearing out!!)

A bit of movement in the table as a few people didn't predict this weekend and the 3 and 4 pointers helped some make a decent leap.

There is a full fixture list this Tuesday evening so make sure you don't forget to predict - the thread is already up and running!
