Results (25th & 26th Oct)

Greetings amigos,

This week produced one of the closest finishes to a Manager of the Month race on record, with 4 managers battling for the prize; no one expected a 5th manager to enter the fray, and in particular, no one expected it to be Mr Luke.  Theo fell short in the end, but his monumental 19 point week, including 5 spot-ons (1 of them a 5 pointer) was a fantastic performance and one that gets his season back on track - had he submitted predictions in the first week of October, he could have taken the trophy.  He didn't though - with a very solid 2 spot-ons amongst a 10 point haul Mr Moore steamed through to take the MotM Award for October - the 11th monthly award of his career; congratulations amigo.  Mad Dog has also reduced Mr O'Callaghan's lead at the top to 2 points after Adam scored 6 points.  The rest of us scored similarly with scores of between 5 and 7 points.

Any mistakes let me know.  Fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (18 & 19 Oct)

Greetings amigos

You wait months for the first Predictio 5 point spot-on and then 4 come along at once.  3 managers (Mr O'Callaghan, Mr Soares and myself) correctly predicted a 4 goal rout at Old Trafford whilst I also managed to notch a 5 pointer from Arsenal's 3-1 win over Everton.  It was a pretty successful week all round with 72 points scored between us despite 3 goalless scorelines (which are always difficult to predict).  My season has been given a boost with my 18 points scored this week, Swoz will also be happy with his 13 points whilst Adam maintained his steady form with 10 points.  Mr Crinnion, Mr Moore and Mr Stewart-Jones all returned a very respectable 9 points.  Mr Luke might consider putting his crystal ball in for a service after he managed just 6 points.  It's wide open for Manager of the Month with 3 points separating 4 managers; the overall table is starting to stretch out a little as Adam now has a 6 point lead over Phil in second place.

League Positions So Far...

Results (4th & 5th Oct)

Greetings amigos

The leading two again demonstrated their class by notching 2 spot-ons within 10 point hauls - Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Moore are looking like the managers to beat even at this early stage of the season.  Mr Stewart-Jones also deserves a mention as he also gained 10 points and 2 spot-ons to jump to 3rd place in the table, 10 points behind Phil in 2nd place.  SJ leads the mid table congestion with 3 points separating 4 managers.  Mr Luke's sometimes controversial Predictio conduct has resulted in yet another lengthy note in the game's black book, as he failed to submit predictions this week as he was sunning himself in Egypt - it remains to be seen what his chairman makes of that.

Any mistakes let me know.  No fixtures this week due to the international games.
