I'm making the most of my elevated position, while I can! :wink:

GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he 's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he 's to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.

[Exile]

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

28 players last weekend, highest score: 4 points scored by Maverick, congrats mate!!!!. The big O, scored by gerry(no)hattrick(this week) and tinned. Bad luck guys, glad it ain't me this time...... Whitti still on top but only 1 point clear, our asian "friend" is leaving the top 3!!!

What on earth is happening? Just consider these statistics culled from the weekly tables:

Week 10 35th
Week 12 30th
Week 13 24th
Week 16 18th
Week 17 14th

It will all end in tears I feel sure, but meanwhile I can only echo what was said previously by an erudite contributor...."It's not a sprint, it's a marathon" :mrgreen:

Week 20 - 17th

Looks like you found your level. :wink:

Bearing in mind our latest performance (F. A. Cup, say no more) all I have to do is to forecast Walsall to get heavily stuffed each week and I'll be top of the table in no time at all - I bet nobody else would think of doing that.......oh, wait, hang on a minute...... :roll:

[SaigonSaddler]

Pah! A momentary lapse in positioning. Top spot is closer for me than it has been since the first week!

Poised. 8)

[Flemish Saddler]

try to update on thursday

[SaigonSaddler]

Now I think within ONE point - what a comeback! :D

All will become clear upon production of the latest table. :idea:

[Flemish Saddler]

so I added the points of 2 weeks as it's very busy at the moment. Highest score of week 21: 3 points scored by Duke and tinned, highest score of week 22... not known as we have our first bl**dy *************.... could have been me but for the first time I was really happy a 94th minute goal costed me 2 points!! Well done Saddlers!!!!
and.... we have 2 leaders now!!!!

Quick somebody pass me a tissue for this nosebleed!!!

That's not what you normally need a tissue for is it? (Or so Saigon tells me.... :wink: )

[Exile]

Saigon'll need the whole box when he sees he's in a medal position.

One box? :? :wink:

In case there is some unjust twist of fickle fate following the games on the 2nd Jan, I would like to point out that I am now
TIPPERTY TOP
(even though I am sharing it with 2 other, lesser predictors who just got lucky in the early games). :wink:

I am pleased to confirm that a suitable soundtrack for this auspicious event has been found - both to celebrate the proud achievement of being in FIRST place in itself and to appropriately acknowledge what must be one of the most amazing prediction comebacks of ALL TIME.

I suppose the only remaining question is - can I be stopped? Is 2012 really the year of doom; the year when darkness will descend upon the UTS universe and SaigonSaddler reigns supreme over the prediction league?

Part of me hopes that I am unsuccessful, for my own mental stability. If not, and the unthinkable comes to pass, then here's just a taste of part of the victory celebrations that will continually plague the UTS'osphere like a crippling bout of leprotic herpes:

Here's the update table (2 weeks together). I won't say a lot about it as I'm sure some of the players will do more than we can have!!!! :roll: :wink:

[SaigonSaddler]

Updated table after week 25 which adheres to strict alphabetical order to avoid petty, and in my opinion quite frankly pathetic, squabbles over placings. :wink: :

53 SaigonSaddler
53 Whittisteve
52 Old Penk
50 Exile
49 KC
49 Manchester
49 Maverick
49 Stig 231
47 Aldridge
46 Casual D

Notes, apologies to people below this as they may have shot up into the top ten. Congratulations to Manchester for using the simple yet effective strategem hereafter to be known as 'copy Saigon'. I hope it continues working for you and you finish 4 points behind the eventual winner. :wink:

I'll wait for the real table to appear, rather than refer to the very plastic version provided by Mr. Makeweight, who is obviously trying to infiltrate the competition, just like last year. :roll:

Imagine being so elitist as to just do the top ten numbers and ignore everyone below, in your vain attempt to glean every little bit of vainglorious publicity from the fact that, as presenter of the results, you are number one...

Is this a good time to say that I'm 2 points clear? 8)

Pontificating video to appear here soon! :mrgreen: :D

As part of a benevolent public service, and while we are waiting for the official table, I will now take the opportunity to inform eager predictors of the current state of the league. Sadly I must apologise for not having the time to complete all areas of the table and a few scores may be missing:


56 SAIGONSADDLER
54 Others
>54 Other others


Many thanks and I respectfully look forward to humbly competing with other predictors as they desperately struggle to match my predictionary supremiosity! :D :wink:

I so want to ban him for flaming....
