So pigging unlucky with the scores - think I've got 3 correct scores all season!

Updated table after last Saturday's games. I have also included the points scored by people in the P-P game between Sheff Utd and Scunthorpe on Tues evening.
Great weekend of scoring by everyone (well, I say everyone, 1 or 2 of us seem to have seriously lost our mojo in recent weeks and dropped off the pace :oops: ).
Loads of 3s and 4s scored but the winner was canadian_saddler with 5 points - well done!

This has caused a lot of movement towards the top of the table and a lot of people are now in contention as we head down the back straight of the season!

Updated table after the weekend games. With so many of the home favourites, that a lot of people predicted, not winning, it resulted in very low scoring. Almost everyone got 0 or 1. The only exceptions were Welsh Saddler and Donnington Saddler, who are this week's winners with 2 points - well done!

Doesn't change the table a massive amount but closes some gaps a little bit.

Week 40 is up and running (Weds - Sat games) and then Week 41 (Easter Monday and Tuesday games) will be set up by Friday.

Updated table after week 40 (Easter weekend pt 1 games). Disappointing scoring overall, with Preston helping almost everyone to get at least 1 point! The winner for the week was Asps with 3 points - well done!

Easter weekend pt 2 (week 41) is up and running with games on Monday and Tuesday.

Updated table after the Easter Weekend fixtures. Some really good scoring, and lots of 3 and 4 pointers, but the winning score this week was 5 points, scored by Tyldesley Saddler, well done!

The table now has a different look!! After a good period at the top, we have new leaders! Old Penk Saddler and Saigon Saddler have taken over the top spot, although with a game in hand, 1933 will be looking at reclaiming after it is played later this month. There is a tight tussle behind, so expect lots of movement in the final 5 weeks. It really is like the Championship promotion race!

Week 42 for next Saturday is already up and running.

Well, it started nicely, but the ending wasn't very supportive. :(

I'm feeling hurt and vulnerable here. Damaged.

I need help.

Updated table after yesterday's games and how things have changed after it!
Some good scoring, as well as a handful of blobs, which has led some interesting moves in the table! The winners of the week, with 4 points, were stig231 and Manchester Saddler. Well done both!

With a few weeks left, the table is very interesting and tight. We have new leaders again, and just one poor week can make all the difference to positions at the top, with so many people battling for it! Sheff and Tyldesley are now joint top and Manchester has leapfrogged his Asian based nemesis, if only for now at least! :mrgreen:

Stig231 is now on 8 weekly wins, 2 ahead of 1933.

Tuesday night's thread (week 43) is now underway so don't miss it!

There is not an emoticon to express how I feel at this moment in time.

This one is not good enough ==> :lol:

I did tell a few people that you needed "support"; this was their reaction:

Well, that's not very helpful at all. In fact if anything it's made me feel worse! :(

And to think of all the help and encouragement I've given to you, freely, over the last 5 seasons, all the PMs that I've been bombarded with asking me about what I think about that weeks predictions ... Keeping you out of the lower areas and somewhere in mid table.

That's gratitude for you! :(

Advice?

Watch the video again for my reaction to that outrageous claim.

BTW If you look closely, you'll see I have one result to come as well.

Not to rub it in, of course ....

Here's the most recent pm exchange...

Manchester saddler: Ha! It's me again. Tell me more good predictions at once!
SaigonSaddler: No! That's cheating and demeans the spirit of the challenge, which is based on fairness and skill.
MS: I have a large pond in my garden, tell me immediately or I will set fire to it using chemicals and destroy the newts and probably some fish in there!
SS: Oh no! Don't hurt animals!
MS: I will!
SS: Very well, I think Scunthorpe will win 2-1. Also Swindon and Coventry.
MS: Excellent. You may not use these predictions.
SS: That means I might get a low score, possibly 0. Why are you doing this?
MS: Because of your exceptional talent and performance over the last 5 years which has been quite brilliant. And everyone thinks you are ace.
SS: Oh, I don't like to be arrogant.
MS: Indeed, and everyone is aware that your visits to locations as diverse as Japan and Italy has obviously impacted on your scores this year. You have been very unlucky in some results, for example a freak Barnsley equaliser that denied you 2 points on Saturday. Good, I will now cheat.

I seem to recall it went something like this:

SS: Give me your predictions or I'll send you something really dodgy through the post.
MS: You copy me anyway - so no!!
SS: OK - I'll copy you and everybody else by posting as late as possible. I hope you enjoy my "gift".

A week or two later ..

MS: AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

:D
