Re: Prediction League 1 2014-15 Table & Intro!
Updated table after last night's games. Pretty low scoring overall (other than at some of the actual matches!! :shock: ) mainly due to Gillingham's ultra late equaliser at Preston which cost a lot of people 1 if not 2 points from their total.
The eventual winning score was 2 points, achieved by stig231, itasaddler, Donnington Saddler and Saigon Saddler - well done you guys.
A little bit of movement in the table, but it is so tight that half the table can still potentially win, if they have a great run of points over the last 3 weeks!
Week 44 is up and running now.

Excellent!
A little bit of pressure from Manchester and a quality response. Look who's top! :D
And who would bet against me now? With my pedigree? 8)
Brimming with confidence.... but it's anyone from 7, all excellent predictors and all worthy of winning the title. I can't see anyone who is 8th coming through ... :mrgreen: :wink:

Anyone currently 8th or below now gets a bonus point each week until the end!! :mrgreen: :wink:

Note that I only said 'who is 8th'.
9th and others still have a chance. :wink:
Who is 8th anyway, I can't see down that far ... :mrgreen:

Technically, shouldn't Sheffield be top because he has scored the most points in fewer games? Just sayin'.

Actually, by adopting that rule, technically I am the worst predictor. :oops: :lol:

Re: Prediction League 1 2014-15 Table & Intro!
What a bizarre set of scores today in League 1!! Virtually all the home favourites failed to win, as most people predicted, and the only one who did, MK Dons, had a crazy scoreline. This at least gave almost everyone 1 point today, but no-one scored more than this. So, the week's winner is...everyone! Well, everyone who scored 1 point anyway!
Doesn't make a massive change to the table, but with 4 people having their p-p game on Tues eve, there could be some movement after that, so keep your eyes on that one.
Next Saturday's games will be up by Wednesday.

Splendido! And congrats to Sheff and me, well, me, for being the first to cross the 80 boundary!

Re: Prediction League 1 2014-15 Table & Intro!
Latest table after the p-p game tonight and it makes for even more tense reading!
We have a 5 way lead now!! I'd say anyone from top 8 can still win this thing over the next two weeks. So, cue everyone carefully studying form guides and the latest squad info leading up to the weekend, as well as all predicting at 2.59pm, ha ha!! (Actually I might insist on this to avoid any accusations of copying! :wink: ) Or maybe people should PM me their predictions for impartiality!!
Anyway, week 45 is up and running, good luck everyone!

Anyone too pussy to be in this comp can PM jolly. I am certain Saigon will take advantage of this.
I'll just carry on as normal in this highly abnormal season...

Like I've said to the perverted one - "It's a marathon - not a sprint".
I would wish everyone "Good Luck" but bragging rights are far too important for that.
:D :wink:

Re: Prediction League 1 2014-15 Table & Intro!
I am officially excited by the ferocity of the competition. It's as if a huge number of frothing toads are attempting to mate with the gigantic female toad. Just one final, muscular thrust should do it. Who is determined enough to plough through the amphibian clusterbomb* of groining toads?
The analogy is as simple as it is elegant: the toads are predictors, their engorged phalluses (phalli?) are the prediction points and the female toad's massive, bloody gash is the prediction triumph. I have entered this entry point before and know exactly what to do. You simply have to thrust.
You don't want to be in my way!
*clusterf**k

I've got kind of a bad feeling about these last two weeks. An unpleasant mixture of over-excitement, nervousness, fear and loathing - for others, not self: has resulted in a kind of emotional flatulence.
There are just too many cooks near the broth of victory and the shock of the Manchester surge hasn't helped.
I have 10 hours of prediction pondering to do. :|

Well, top 10.

Fixed that for you. Having dismissed those three or more behind you could well be your undoing. Whilst concentrating on the Manchester swarm you could have taken your eye off the flanking threat.
Best leave those predictions to the last minute so you can try to cover off the points that will protect your position, wimp. :wink:

A ready assortment of disappointed predictors will be seeing something unpleasant soon I fear...

Re: Prediction League 1 2014-15 Table & Intro!
Updated table after today's games and with 1 week to go before the 2014-15 is revealed!
And, after a weekly winning score of 4 points, Saigon Saddler is now well in the driving seat, pulling 2 points clear from everyone else at the top today. It would take a monumental effort from someone, and a collapse of Greg Norman proportions for him not to lift the trophy now...but stanger things have happened! :wink:
In the event of people being tied at the top of the table on points, it will go down to who has most weekly wins.
Week 46 will be up and running from Tuesday / Wednesday evening, before the action on Sunday lunchtime.

They say the table never lies at end of season.
However.....
Having played 3 games less, it's obvious to see I am the best predictor in the league.
FACT!

Hey, is this like The Apprentice where I get to chose some people with absolutely no hope of winning to help me get through the last round?
I'd like to nominate, in no particular order, Welsh, Exile, Manchester and Old Penk to help. Sorry if I missed anyone out - no offence. Just need a small team.
Cheers guys! :wink:
