Results (23rd & 24th February)

Greetings amigos,

Mr McClay again demonstrated the kind of inspired performance that delivered him a league and cup double last season, as he top scored this week with 13 points, including 3 spot-ons and the particularly champagne call of Spurs' 3-2 win at West Ham last night.  As Mr Crinnion failed to submit predictions, Dave's weekly haul sees him off the bottom of the table for the first time in a while.  Mr Raistrick is another manager to watch; his improving form over recent weeks continued as he scored 10 points to take the monthly MotM Award, the 3rd of his career - congratulations amigo!  Ben has moved into 2nd place in the overall table overtaking Mr West who scored 2 points and closing the gap to myself by 4 points as I could only manage 6 points this week.  Mr Luke and Mr O'Callaghan both also managed 10 points apiece, leading to some mid-table congestion - 4 points separate as many places as Mr Stewart-Jones (5) and Mr Moore (2) were outscored by those immediately below them.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (9th & 10th February)

Greetings amigos,

Ever since Mr West entered the world of Predictio by winning the first monthly race he took part in, he has been earmarked as a contender and potential title winner of the future.  This week saw a timely reminder as he reacted to being displaced into 3rd position by Mr Raistrick by out scoring Jamine 15 points to 8 to jump back into 2nd place.  Theo W also leads the monthly race by 4 points as he looks to add to the gongs in his trophy cabinet.  Theo's assault on top spot in the title race was diluted somewhat as I managed to amass 12 points.  Elsewhere it was a bit of a mixed bag: Mr O'Callaghan 8, Mr Luke and Mr Moore 7, Mr Stewart-Jones 6, Mr McClay 4 and finally Mr Crinnion 2.

The Soares Cup: Matchday 6

Greetings amigos,

Matchday 6 saw the end of the group stage of The Soares Cup and the point at which the semi-finalists are confirmed.  Phil had already secured his passage through to the knockout stage, but he ensured his momentum continued as he edged out Theo L 5-4.  In Group B it was effectively a knock out game between SJ and Nick, with the winner guaranteed qualification; it was SJ who took the chance as he defeated Nick in another 5-4 encounter.  Group C's game saw Theo W looking for a win to see him qualify as best runner-up, however, Dave refused to give him an easy ride into the semi's and fought for a dogged 3-3 draw.  The beneficiary of Dave's efforts was myself, as my 5 points was enough for me to qualify in the best runner-up spot.

The draw has been made for the semi-finals of the competition and I can reveal that the draw is as follows:

Adam  v  Danny

Phil  v  SJ

The first leg will be played on the weekend of  2-3 March, with the return leg taking place on the weekend of 6-7 April.

Any mistakes let me know.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A:   Theo L  4 v 5  Phil
Group B:   SJ  5 v 4  Nick
Group C:   Theo W  3 v 3  Dave

Results (2nd & 3rd February)

Greetings amigos,

A very low scoring week this time around as spot-ons were very few and far between.  The 2 managers that managed to secure them unsurprisingly sit at the top of the early February table - Mr Raistrick leads the way as he scored 6 points, with Mr Stewart-Jones just behind him on 5.  Mr Moore notched 5 points the hard way with 0 spot-ons.   After that the rest of us had a week to forget: Mr O'Callaghan, Mr Crinnion and Mr Luke all scored 4 points, Mr McClay and Mr West 3 and finally I limped home with just 2 points - back to the drawing board methinks.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Thanks,

Dan
