Round 16 - @DizzyFeet’s Daughter Didn’t Help @Goatboy

In fact @Goatboy did so badly that I thought he hadn’t made any predictions and had got the defaults instead but, no, he had made predictions. Only managed to guess 2 of the 10 outcomes though, 1 right and 1 close. 2½ points and the :wooden_spoon:

At the other end of the table we have @PhilippineSaint who predicted 5 outcomes, 2 spot on. Pretty poor really but he gets another :chapeau_jeune: for his efforts.

Round 16 - Leader Board

@Goatboy falls another 2 places, @lifeintheslowlane is still tail end Charlie and @JxgrSaint is still at the top, albeit with a very much reduced lead (8½ instead of 14 points)

image

Edit : Whoa, just noticed that the :chapeau_jeune: and :wooden_spoon: went to the same people as last week, spooky

I am slowly catching @JxgrSaint :smile: :smile:

I can’t believe that I got more outcomes right than both @PhilippineSaint and @TheMightyOstrich yet still got the :wooden_spoon:.

Harsh

27

Despite still being the bottom feeder I’m getting closer to redemption…move over I’m coming through.

28

Busy 3 rounds over the restive period so a big update incoming

Round 18

Any hope @lifeintheslowlane had of starting to climb the league were dealt a blow in this round, only 1 outcome predicted and that was :bournemouthfc: beating :nottinghamforestfc:, enjoy your :wooden_spoon:

At the top of the table was @PhilippineSaint who is starting to creep back to the top again. 13 points form his 5 correct outcomes, 3 exact!! and a :chapeau_jeune:

Round 19

Yet another :chapeau_jeune: for @PhilippineSaint and possibly @TheMightyOstrich, although I think the Superbru tie-break has given it to the former. Both scored 10½ points from 5 correct outcomes, both had 2 exact and 1 close

@JxgrSaint wrests the :wooden_spoon: out of @lifeintheslowlane’s hands buy ½ point, 3 outcomes predicted, 2 exact, still not enough though

Round 20

Another tie at the top with 3 players (@Goatboy, @JxgrSaint, and @PhilippineSaint) scoring 9 points, @Goatboy gets the :chapeau_jeune: though with 6 outcomes predicted compared to 5 for the other 2.

And I was bottom with an outstanding 3½ points, 4½ less than @lifeintheslowlane, who was 2nd from bottom. :wooden_spoon: well earned.

Leader Board after Round 20

@JxgrSaint still top, but only just, now only 1½ points ahead of @PhilippineSaint.

@lifeintheslowlane remains bottom, now 12½ points adrift, the gap has grown by 8 points since round 17

My poor performance doesn’t surprise or upset me.
We all know the real football is played in the Championship don’t we. I’m doing tolerably well there.

Round 21 - I Told You it Was Good Week for the Goats (with apologies to Elvis Costello)

Two :chapeau_jeune:s in 2 competitons for @Goatboy, there should may be an award for that, and 2 in 2 weeks in the PL predictor!!

However, what you don’t see in that screengrab is that the vaunted cap is shared with @TheMightyOstrich. Both of them beating @lifeintheslowlane to top spot by ½point.

Bottom this week is @SimplySaint who managed 4 correct outcomes, which, considering the top 2 got 6 outcomes and @lifeintheslowlane 7 correct, isn’t too bad. Trouble is the correct outcomes weren’t that good :slight_smile: Anyway, enjoy your :wooden_spoon: young man.

image

Leader Board - Round 21

@PhilippineSaint replaces @JxgrSaint at the top and that’s about all the excitement in the leaderboard this week…

image

31

5 rounds to catch up, where did that come from??

Round 22 - A Second :wooden_spoon: for @SimplySaint

5 outcomes predicted correctly by @SimplySaint however 3 were results and 2 were close, This only gave him 7 points, 1 less that @PhilippineSaint who managed 6 outcomes. Have your 2nd :wooden_spoon:, also a consecutive one.

Top this round, with 11 points from 5 outcomes, is @TheMightyOstrich, 2 exacts predictions scoots him to the top of the table and his 2nd :chapeau_jeune:

Round 23 - A Surprising :chapeau_jeune: for @BTripz

Well look at that, last round’s :chapeau_jeune: winner joins last round’s :wooden_spoon: winner at the bottom of the table, both with 3½ points from 3 outcomes predicted. There can only be one :wooden_spoon: winner and that is @TheMightyOstrich

Top of the table this round, humiliating all of you, is myself. 10½ points from 6 correct outcomes. The :chapeau_jeune: is mine all mine, and it’s also my first one of this competition.

Round 24 - The Usual Hero to Zero Has Happened

That’s correct last round’s winner is this round’s loser, and by a 3½ point margin. Have your 5th :wooden_spoon: @BTripz .

The overall league loser, @lifeintheslowlane , wins this round’s :chapeau_jeune: by 4 clear points. 8 outcomes predicted correctly. Only 1 exact but 6 close. This win also takes him off of the foot of the table. To be replaced by @SimplySaint

Round 25 - @SimplySaint and @lifeintheslowlane swap places again

@SimplySaint wins this round’s :chapeau_jeune:, 2 points clear of @lifeintheslowlane. Both got 7 outcomes correct, however @SimplySaint had 3 exact compared to @lifeintheslowlane’s 1.

Consequently @SimplySaint is replaced by @lifeintheslowlane at the bottom, 1 point between them.

:wooden_spoon: this round goes to @PhilippineSaint who only manged 3 outcomes and 3½ points

Round 26 - A Seventh :chapeau_jeune: for @Goatboy

@Goatboy wins this round’s :chapeau_jeune: 2½ points clear of @SimplySaint, 9½ points ins’t a massive amount but it was better than everyone else.

@TheMightyOstrich wins another :wooden_spoon: with only 3 outcomes predicted correctly.

Round 27 - @SimplySaint Wins Another :chapeau_jeune:, @lifeintheslowlane Another :wooden_spoon:

@SimplySaint wins his 2nd :chapeau_jeune: with a score of 15 points, very good young sir. 7 outcomes predicted correctly, 3 exact.

@lifeintheslowlane is, yet again, bottom. 1½ points adrift of @JxgrSaint. I make this @lifeintheslowlane 's 8th or 9th :wooden_spoon:.

Leader Board After all of That.

Apart from a brief stint in 2nd from bottom @lifeintheslowlane has taken up residence at the foot of the table.

@JxgrSaint has stayed at the top, althought @Goatboy is fast catching him.

It’s not real football…these are VAR results, which as we all know are AI generated.

33

Round 29 - Four Matches Played

And I got 3 outcomes correct, 2 more than anyone else :slight_smile:

All 3 were close though so gave me 4½ points.

By contract @JxgrSaint, @SimplySaint and @lifeintheslowlane all managed a big fat :egg:

image

Leaderboard - Round 29

@JxgrSaint and @Goatboy are on the same points but it would appear that @JxgrSaint has the much better predictions so is in 1st place.

@lifeintheslowlane is still firmly rooted to the bottom.

34

Round 30 - Yo Yo @lifeintheslowlane and @BTripz :slight_smile:

As does seem to happen a lot last round’s :wooden_spoon: winner is this week’s :chapeau_jeune: wearer, and last round’s :chapeau_jeune: wearer is, almost, this week’s :wooden_spoon: winner.

Congrats to @lifeintheslowlane who managed to predict 6 of the 10 outcomes, 2 spot on, this gives him 12 points and a spot at the top (for this round).

I almost grabbed the :wooden_spoon: but, thankfully, @PhilippineSaint beat me to that. We both got 4 outcomes correct but I had slightly better correctness so beat @PhilippineSaint by 1 whole point.

image

Leader Board - Round 30

@JxgrSaint and @Goatboy still have the same points, @lifeintheslowlane is still bottom.

35

Wow have I really missed 3 rounds of Premier League Predictor Updates, oh well, here we go then :-

Round 31

@PhilippineSaint storms this round with 14½ points from his 6 correct outcomes, 3 exact

@JxgrSaint is well off the pace at the bottom with only 3 correct outcomes, all close but no cigar.

Round 32

@PhilippineSaint at the top again, only ½ point clear of myself this time, the difference between a close and a result. We both got 6 outcomes correct though.

@TheMightyOstrich is bottom this round, only 3 outcomes correct.

Round 33

Some funny results this round means scores were low and close. However @SimplySaint and I share the :chapeau_jeune: with a score of 6½ points from 4 outcomes predicted.

@Goatboy gets the :wooden_spoon: with on 3½ points from 3 outcomes predicted.

Leader Board after Round 33

@PhilippineSaint has risen to the top, albeit by ½ point from @Polski_Filip, who was top after Round 31!!

@lifeintheslowlane is still at the bottom and he hasn’t actually budged from there.

image

36

Get in Just like Man City at the top when it really matters :rofl: :rofl:

37

Hmm it would appear that I have done @Polski_Filip a disservice and missed the results for Round 28.

Round 28 - Notes from Poland

@Polski_Filip wins this round with a decent score of 15½ points from 7 outcomes (from 11 matches mind), sees him win the :chapeau_jeune: by 2 clear points.

Bottom of the pile, again dare I say, is @lifeintheslowlane with 5 outcomes predicted but they were pretty bad guesses, 3 results and 2 close. 7 points sees him 2½ adrift of @PhilippineSaint.

Leader Board - Round 28

@PhilippineSaint continues his plummet down the table. @lifeintheslowlane continues to be rooted at the bottom…

This doesn’t happen very often…

Round 34 -

What do you know, yet another :chapeau_jeune: for myself as I storm this round by 1 clear point, thanks to my extra slam point. Still I managed 8 correct outcomes from the 13 games on offer.

Bottom this time out is @TheMightyOstrich 6 outcomes but not very good ones hands him the :wooden_spoon: ahead of @PhilippineSaint’s just as bad predicitions

image

Leader Board - Round 34

@JxgrSaint takes over the lead from @PhilippineSaint who plummets 3 places to 4th. Close at the top with 4 rounds left.

image

Round 35 - The Bottom Player Grabs the :chapeau_jeune:

This round see @lifeintheslowlane, the “strongest” player, snatch the :chapeau_jeune: by the slimmest of margins, ½ point all told. 7 outcomes predicted correctly from the 11 matches on offer, 3 exact.

:wooden_spoon: this round goes to @SimplySaint who managed 3 close outcomes.

The leader board sees @Goatboy rise to the top again, with @JxgrSaint dropping 3 places. @lifeintheslowlane stays at the bottom, albeit only 1pt behind @SimplySaint

Round 36 - A Good Round from Poland

@Polski_Filip got 8 outcomes correct from this round’s 10 games, 2 exact, 1 close and 5 results. That gives him this round’s :chapeau_jeune: 2 points clear of @Goatboy who also got 8 outcomes correct. only 1 exact though.

And I am yet again at the bottom, 4 outcomes correct but not enough to stop me getting yet another :wooden_spoon:

The leader board sees @Polski_Filip replace @Goatboy at the top, @lifeintheslowlane drifts a further ½ point behind @SimplySaint

Round 37 - The Penultimate Round

And @TheMightyOstrich strolls it ½ point clear of @JxgrSaint, @TheMightyOstrich predicted 9 outcomes from the 13 games on offer whilst @JxgrSaint got 8. A further ½ point back is @lifeintheslowlane who also got 8 outcomes correct, less correct that the other 2 though. :chapeau_jeune: to @TheMightyOstrich

@Goatboy is bottom this round with 10 points, unlucky as that has been a winning score before. Never mind lad, take your :wooden_spoon: with pride.

Leader Board

@Polski_Filip is still at the top, 5½ points clear of @JxgrSaint, can this lead be surmounted, watch this space.

Equally exciting at the bottom is @lifeintheslowlane only ½ point behind @SimplySaint, who will finish bottom…
