World Cup Predictio: Final Results & Tables

Greetings amigos,

With the final round of predictions submitted, the only way that Mr Stewart-Jones could be denied in his quest to retain his Predictio World Cup title was by a German win inside the 90 minutes; had that occurred Mr West would have secured the first major honour of his Predictio career.  As it turned out, a pulsating encounter went into extra time and in doing so fittingly delivered SJ his tenth spot-on of the competition and meant that the Predictio World Cup trophy is staying in The Midlands for another 4 years.  May I take this opportunity to say very well done Mr Stewart-Jones on his win and the fantastic achievement of retaining the trophy - congratulations amigo!

Elsewhere Mr Raistrick sneaked ahead of Mr West in the final game of the tournament by outscoring him 7 points to 2 to finish as runner-up, whilst I scored 5 points, Mr Luke scored 3 points and Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Moore scored 2 apiece.  Thank you to all managers for taking part in World Cup Predictio 2014 - see you in 5 weeks' time for the start of the new domestic season.

Take it easy,

Danny

World Cup Predictio: Semi-Finals Results

Greetings amigos,

Given that one of the semi-finals produced one of the most unbelievable scorelines in World Cup history, you might expect that our tournament leader, Mr Stewart-Jones would have a smile as wide as those on the Germans' faces as we enter the final 2 games of World Cup Predictio 2014.  However, SJ's failure to score at the semi-final stage means that the door was left ajar for the chasing pack - Mr West is the man that SJ will be most concerned about, as he scored 2 points to halve the Midlander's lead.  Further down the table Mr Raistrick scored 6 points and I was 1 behind on 5, but in truth the gap to the leader looks insurmountable at this late stage.  Elsewhere Mr Crinnion and Mr Luke scored 1 point apiece, whilst Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Moore failed to score.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

World Cup Predictio: Quarter-Finals Results

Greetings amigos,

Mr Stewart-Jones now has one hand on the 2014 World Cup Predictio trophy, as he came through another round of fixtures with his lead at the top of the table in tact.  It was a very low scoring round - music to the ears of the 2010 World Cup Predictio champion.  SJ scored 3 points whilst his nearest challengers, Mr West and Mr Moore, were both one off the pace on 2 points.  Elsewhere Mr O'Callaghan top scored with 4 points, whilst Mr Luke scored 3 and Mr Raistrick, Mr Crinnion and myself all struck out with 0 points.

4 games to go in the tournament - 4 points the lead at the top.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

World Cup Predictio: Second Round Results

Greetings amigos,

As the World Cup entered its business end, several managers brought their respective A-games to the tournament with some spectacular scoring as an astounding 15 spot-ons were collectively achieved.  World Cup Predictio holder Mr Stewart-Jones is the manager who continues to catch the eye, as he scored 12 points (including 3 spot-ons and 2 pens bonus points) to leapfrog Mr West (who scored 8 points) and open up a 3 point lead at the top of the table.  Such was the level of scoring, SJ's haul wasn't the top score of the round - domestic champion Mr Raistrick scored a brilliant 15 points (4 spot-ons) to breathe life into his campaign to hold 3 Predictio titles at the same time.  Elsewhere Mr Luke scored a very solid 11 points, Mr Moore and Mr Crinnion 9 apiece, myself 6 and finally Mr O'Callaghan 4.  With 8 games to go it's looking like a 3 horse race for the title, with 7 points separating SJ, Theo W and Mad Dog.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
