Send me a postkarten from the urine-stained abyss of failure. And get me a crab! :D :wink:

[Jolly Johnny]

Well done Johnny for your hard work and promptness.

No probs mate. I aim to please! :mrgreen:

Congrats to Stig231 on one of them magical 6 pointers! :wink:

Here is the table after last Saturday (12th Jan) - apologies for being a little later than normal. With a lot of the fancied and predicted teams not getting the results that everyone thought, there were a massive amount of zeros. In fact, only 12 out of 27 predictors actually scored any points!! The winning score was 3 points, scored by both Donnington Saddler and living the dream, well done. That puts Donnington level with Jockey on 4 weekly wins.

As the Pompey v Notts County game was postponed, it adds another asterisk to 8 predictors on the table, so positions could be a little false at the moment. Much like the mighty Saddlers, I fear I will drop a few places once everyone has evened up game wise!

The table for week 28 (today) will hopefully be done before the weekend is out.

I can only assume you're still typing a congratulatory message to me for moving up to 7th place. ;)

Well. I started it but after my 5 point haul today I realised it was hopelessly out of date and sent it screaming into abyss to be ripped apart by the undead denizens of the underworld. You will find it being chewed upon by some unspeakable creature whose name cannot be uttered but whose name is Manchester the Average.

I often miss the point in posts, but I swear I'm missing at least three in this one :wink: Or have I been docked points for accidentally predicting games that had already been called off this week? :P

Sorry mate, just realised I forgot to add the 3 points to that column when updating the table. :oops:
Will adjust and repost later on!

Still just one point behind with a game in hand, my perverted friend.

Manchester the Average is a figment of your demented imagination, whereas Saigon the Sick is, as every UTS member knows, a drooling monstrous being that haunts this web site.

Here is the table after yesterday's games. Even with a good few games postponed, there was some hefty scoring right across the board, a complete contrast to last Saturday when there were so many zeros! A good number of 4s and 5s, which would normally win a week, but they were outshone by a perfect 6 (only second time this season) from stig231! Well done mate!

Yet again, a good number of postponed games so you will notice the table looks pretty messy at the moment! 5 weeks worth of postponed games to sort out and it doesn't look like they are scheduled any time soon. I will keep my eye open though, and whenever they all get played, I'll keep the table constantly updated.

Exile still leads the way but his lead has been cut, after not predicting this week.

[Welsh_Saddler]

I notice that Saigon is coming with a late burst **snigger**

:D

[SaigonSaddler]

I'm BACK!, emerging, invigorated from an overgrown thicket after an imperialist air strike!

And there's definately blood in the water! Now only single figures away from the lead and Exile slipping under the wheels of the Welsh juggernaut. AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! :D

WATCH the video: Nothing is impossible!
EXHALT in the exhuberance administered by the tenacity of persistence!
RIDE the swell of awe at the indefatigability of humanity at 2.53!
FEEL your heart strings tug at 4.15...

Elan is at an all-time high and the possibilites stretch out ahead like a bountiful garden of opportunity, ripe for exploitation!

The season begins NOW!

[Exile]

I'm BACK!, in 6th place.

And there's definately blood in the water! My period blood.

([rant continues P94)

Nothing if not predictable...

Below is the table after last Saturday's games. With a reduced set of fixtures due to the cup, similar predictions by people, and results that didn't go as people expected, meant that it was very low scoring. In fact, only 3 people scored more than 1 point! The winner was Tinned with 3 points - well done!
With Tranmere v Swindon being postponed it has added more asterisks to the table...arrrrgh!! :? :wink:

The thread for this Sat (week 30) is now up and running. A revised table to take account for this week's (Tues) postponed games will be up shortly.

[Jolly Johnny]

Updated table after the postponed games at Leyton Orient and Portsmouth that were played on Tuesday night.

[Exile]

Looks like Welsh's lucky streak is longer than mine. Still got p-p results to come but they;re no good to me right now. Squeaky butt time! :D

[Welsh_Saddler]

What is this "lucky streak" of which you speak????? I fully expect to finish the season in about 10th place...(which I shan't mind at all, as long as Saigon is 11th) :roll:

:D

What was it? NINE points? This is developing into one of the biggest prediction league disasters of ALL TIME!



I take no pleasure in it however, I am merely a neutral observer looking on at a remarkable phenomenon...

:wink:

I take only self-pleasure in it however, I am merely a neutral observer looking on at a remarkable phenomenon...like a French soldier awaiting rescue, or an Italian queuing to surrender, I realise the futility of my position, fully ten points adrift.
:wink:

fixed that for you. :wink:

[Jolly Johnny]

Table after today's games is below. Strange day with the likes of Doncaster losing what looked a comfortable game for them. So, not a massive haul of points, meaning the winners this week, with 3 points, were Asps and ihatethecorps. Well done to both.

Exile remains in top spot and has now hit the 60 point mark!

There are a few pp games on Tues night, so there will be another update to the table as necessary on Tues or Weds.

[Jolly Johnny]

Below is the updated table after the 3 postponed games played on Tuesday evening. A few points scored, so a little bit of movement!

7 postponed games are being played next Tuesday, all of which have been predicted by a lot of people so expect a good deal of movement after Saturday and again on Tues evening. Keep your eyes peeled on this thread for updated tables!

[SaigonSaddler]

10 players on 48-50 points! It's like a Morrisons Xmas checkout queue.

That turkey is MINE!

No. The Findus 'Beef' Lasagne is yours.

[Exile]

10 players on 48-50 points!

Only one on 60-70 points.

Just sayin' :D

Updated table after yesterday's games. Those people who were brave enough not to just predict wins for Bournemouth, Brentford and Swindon profitted from the latter 2 not winning! Only one zero to report, and a few 3s but the winning score was 4 points, scored by derbysaddler and livingthedream. Well done you two. It has meant there is a little bit of movement in the table, and Welsh Saddler is now only 1 point behind Exile!!

Donnington Saddler, Jockey and livingthedream are now leading the way on weekly wins with 4 each.

With the majority of the postponed games being cleared on Tues evening, there could be quite a different table come Weds morning, so keep your eyes out for it - then we'll know who is really in with a shout of the title this season!!
