I still think you've peaked too soon, Mr Sheep Lover - but then again, Saigon knows all about that too.

Re: Prediction League 1 2012-13: A New Season!!
Here is the table after this weekend's games. Mostly consistent scoring, with only a couple of zeros. No one set the world alight, so the winning score was 3 points, achieved by the following: canadian, jeffsmate, Maverick, FBIG and livingthedream. Well done to all of you!
The table looks pretty much the same as last week, with only a little bit of midfield movement!
There are 2 postponed games on Tues night so will add an updated table after they are done.

Updated table after tonight's postponed games. Wyrley and ihatethecorps scored 2 points each, so they move up the table a little.

Updated table for week 13, after this afternoon's games. A whole mixture of scores, with some zeros, a good few ones and then twos and threes, but the winning score was 4 points, scored by both Whittisteve and Jockey. Well done you two!
This has brought a small closure of the gap to Exile, but he is still the man to catch. Some good movement lower down in the table as well.
Week 14 (Tuesday eve) is already up and running so get your predictions in. Next saturday's thread will be up after Tuesday's games are completed.

Re: Prediction League 1 2012-13: A New Season!!
I think this season should be written off due to the surfeit of unpredictable results and the slippage of quality predictors or 'dicts' down the table into the swamp of mediocrity. This is an unfair waste of their talent and threatens to demean the competition and reduce it to farce. :idea:
On another note - no-one likes a gloater. I didn't gloat last year at any stage of my incredible victory. A stunning victory created from skill alone. And genius. My brain is now fatigued from the genius drawn from it last year.
So, gloating is really bad. That is all for now unless anyone gloats in which case the moral outrage unleashed from the ordinary predictors will be savage and humiliating. There should be a list drawn up of needless gloating episodes. A list of shame. :!:
Down with gloaters and their foolishness!

Gloating is good.
Gloating is even better when it comes to the Prediction League and the target is a hapless, useless predictor who has finally been found out.
In fact, I would go further than that and say that gloating is THE LAW when it involves the humiliation of the only member of the Bangkok Boney M appreciation society.
So here goes:

I may have slipped a couple of places down the table but not as far as Saigon Saddler, a man whose luck has finally run out. Thus begins the ritual humiliation of a man (?) who spends most of time playing with ping pong balls in the sleazy fleshpots of Patpong. I don't know what's funnier - his inexorable slide down the Prediction League title or his little tearful face as he realises that he the only thing he can predict is that he will be crying in his beer as a ping pong ball flashes past.
Saigon Saddler - or should I say Saigon SADDER - the Pathetic Patpong Ping Pong Pervert. A broken man, a sad man - a fallen man.
Onwards and downwards my perverted friend.

Re: Prediction League 1 2012-13: A New Season!!
Table updated after last night's games. A real mixed bag of points with a good few 0s and 1s but also your fair sher of 2s and 3s! The winning score was shared by two predictors: Welsh Saddler and Tyldesley Saddler, who both scored 4 points. Well done chaps!
As usual, some movement within the whole table, but importantly, Exile has opened up a 5 point lead! Still a long way to go though and I'm sure there will be a southern hemisphere slump in form at some point! :wink:

Re: Prediction League 1 2012-13: A New Season!!
Not only do I wing my last two rounds of picks, I do so with my head full of tropical holiday not football, and manage to get my midweek picks in on an island that has dial up speed connections, on a resort computer that must be a decade old. AND score points. :D
Viva relaxation. I'd put up a picture of Rarotonga, but I'm sure you can all imagine hot sun, coconut palms, coral reefs and sandy beaches. And cocktails. Lots. :mrgreen:
PS - Jolly, you said I had a five point lead, but I can only see 4 of them! :wink:

A miscalculation on my part! I was basing it on your gap to Whitti et al who had been in second behind you, forgetting that Welsh won the week with 4 points bringing him into 2nd and only 4 back from you. :D

Welcome to my world....
With less venereal predicaments, scabby toothless playmates, visits to the clinic and more prediction league points obviously.
:D :wink:
While it's bad to gloat it's absolutely OK to laugh at King Crimson because it's funny. :D

Form is temporary, class is permanent.
Which is why I was top of the league for only a fortnight before reverting to mid-table mediocrity.
Looking forward to the cricket season. And I don't even like cricket.

Think you're right mate! Unless Sheff Utd win on Monday night there will mostly zeros and a low winning score this week.
Combination of hardly a home win as well as so many people predicting the same games has lead to it. Happened a few times this season where people have gone for supposed bankers and they haven't worked out. Might be less red and green numbers in the updated table on Monday evening!

Re: Prediction League 1 2012-13: A New Season!!
Another funny week of results, with no home wins (apart from tonight at Bramhall Lane) and a lot of bankers not working out. Therefore it was a very low scoring week again. Lots of zeroes and ones (as Jesus Jones once sang! :mrgreen: ) but out of the handful of people who scored more than 1 point, the week's winners were derbysaddler and JaySaddler with 3 points. Well done to you two.
With the help of Sheff Utd tonight, Exile has opened up a 6 point lead at the top of the table. But, like Tranmere, a few dodgy weeks can bring the chasing pack back in touch!!
No league games this Saturday, so get yourself on the FA Cup Prediction Competition bus instead! Thread with games is already up and running.

It seems that I sucked out all the juicy marrow from the bones of fortune last season. Even you have managed to squirm their way into some kind of equality. However, only a mindless buffoonated whelk manages to forget to predict. No offence! :D :wink:

On current form I think you could be reasonably confident of missing 5 weeks and still being ahead. :D
