Results (16th & 17th May)

Greetings amigos,

For much of the 2025-26 season, it appeared unlikely that we would get any late drama in the title race, as Mr Stewart-Jones opened up a sizeable advantage ahead of the chasing pack. Alas, bit by bit, point by point, Mr Moore has made gains to such an extent that SJ will be more than checking his shoulder down the final straight. Phil outscored our leader by 7 points to 4 to bring himself to within a point of the summit. The equation for the final weekend of fixtures is simple: barring something outrageous from those in third and below, if Phil outscores SJ by 2 points he will win his first title in 5 years and the third of his career to date, having not been in top spot since the end of August. From SJ's perspective, his spot-ons record gives him a marginal amount of extra breathing room, and therefore scoring a point fewer than Phil this weekend will almost certainly deliver him a record-breaking 6th domestic title.Time will tell! Elsewhere the drama is somewhat less palpable: Mr Raistrick top scored with an impressive 11 points, Mr Luke and Mr Crinnion scored 5 and I scored 4. Mr O'Callaghan appears to have gone into hiding after his failure to submit predictions earlier this month, whilst Mr McClay and Mr West have long been on the beach.

Any mistakes let me know, final fixtures of the season to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (9th & 10th May)

Greetings amigos,

The pressures of a title chase can do strange things to a Predictio manager. This week it was Mr O'Callaghan's turn to find himself under the 8-ball, as he failed to submit predictions and gave Mr Stewart-Jones some blessed relief as a result. SJ added 5 to his tally and leads the monthly race; should he remain at the front of that mini challenge he knows he will take the grand prize. Mr Moore ensured that the pressure is still on our leader, as he scored 4 points to trail by the same margin in the overall standings. Adam will be hoping that he can pull off something remarkable in the final 2 gameweeks, but at 12 points back it's looking somewhat unlikely. Elsewhere Mr Luke top scored with 7 points, Mr Raistrick and myself scored 5 and Mr Crinnion 3.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Final

Greetings amigos,

Last weekend saw the staging of the 15th final of The Soares Cup, and it proved to be one of the closest finals in Predictio history. SJ outscored Nick by the odd point in 13 to win the final 7-6 and lift the trophy for the third time in his career - congratulations amigo! In a cruel turn of events, Nick tastes defeat in the final for the second consecutive season, but hopefully can take at least some consolation from how close this year's showpiece event proved to be. SJ will be hoping that he can take this momentum into the final weeks of his domestic campaign and secure a league and cup double.

Results (2nd & 3rd May)

Greetings amigos,

The title race continues to be a nail biting affair, as Mr Moore top scored with 8 points to move into second place in the overall standings and 3 points behind Mr Stewart-Jones, who added 7 to his tally. Mr O'Callaghan had a slightly less successful weekend than he's enjoyed of late, as he scored 4 points. Just 7 points separate the top three managers heading into the final 3 gameweeks, so it's undoubtedly a race that's going to the wire. Elsewhere, Mr Crinnion enjoyed a solid return of 6 points, Mr Raistrick and Mr Luke scored 4 apiece and I produced a lacklustre performance which garnered just 2 points.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures sent earlier this week.

Take it easy,

Danny
