Must be a changing of the guard Dave!! 4 points on Boxing Day I think and a couple today should keep me up there too!

Didn't see you at Tranmere today. I take it you decided to not brave the cold this time!

Here we are with the table of Week 21 (boxing day-games). Only 2 big O's: Willy Nilly and geryyhatrick are the "lucky ones". Highest score with 4 points: Whitti Steve, Duke, Four Oaks Saddler, Jolly Johnny and Mikeyy, congrats to all of you. Still working on table of week 22.

Now I'm really disappointed at floundering in 11th place and here you are celebrating your "lofty" 12th.

Still at least you too are above Saigon :lol: :lol:

How do you feel about that???

Week 22: 39 players (40 as Willy Nilly predicted 2 times and both scoring 1 point, so don't think anyone has a problem by counting that 1 point). NO BIG O's but still it's a weird league to predict. how many were wrong with Hartlepool-Crewe??? :roll:
Highest score with 4 points: redsaddler and sj, congrats!!!! I wanna wish you all the best for 2009 and a very nice last day of 2008 but i'm not sure Saigon will enjoy it as he fell out of the left table :shock: Don't let it spoil your next days though :wink:

My late challenge for the title has begun! :D

Quite a feat, given that I select three adjacent games and pick 2-0 wins for all of them!

Here's the table of week 24, with only games played until now, I had to add more ****** then points so not complete at all. Highest score at the moment with 4 points out of 2 games, Priestley Saddler!!!. Personal best for Duke with 3 points :wink:

At last a week without *****, btw if anyone hasn't enough *** behind his name, don't panic, i completely understand myself by missing on that topic. I have all predictions saved and will add points after games are played. Probably not the first days but all will get fine. It's the first time (in the years I started doing this), I really asked myself what I'm doing, bloody OFF and PP- games :x But we're back on track and here's the table of week 25. Highest score and so close to the first maximum of the season: with 5 points, Registered Saddler, congrats mate!!!! Big O's for Wyrley, tape 66, Atomic Rooster and Willy Nilly.

Looks about right to me Bart. I know I have 4 games left outstanding (the 3 from week 23 and 1 from week 24) so the asterisks are correct.
Didn't have such a great weekend (week 25) but a couple of points keeps me chugging along!!

thanks, that's what kept me going last weeks, the appreciation, because it was a terrible job with King Winter replanning all schedules
