The Soares Cup: Matchday 6

Greetings amigos,

Matchday 6 saw some high scoring encounters as managers looked to secure their passage through to the knockout phase of the tournament. In Group A, Phil turned on the style with a 10-3 victory over Theo L, whilst Group C saw a similarly dominant display as Nick defeated Dave 12-0. There was a significantly tighter encounter in Group B as Adam edged past Ben 7-5, which kept the tournament's only 100% record intact. In terms of our qualifiers, all three group winners were already confirmed in Matchday 5, with Theo W, Adam and SJ safely in the hat for the semi-finals. Nick's convincing win enabled him to secure the best runner's up spot, with Phil just missing out despite his impressive last ditch effort.

The draw for the semi-finals has been made and the line up is as follows:

SF1: SJ v Theo W
SF2: Nick v Adam

First legs will be played during the weekend of 14th & 15th March, second legs during 11th & 12th April.

Any mistakes let me know.

Take it easy,

Danny

Matchday 6 results:

Group A: Phil 10 v 3 Theo L
Group B: Ben 5 v 7 Adam
Group C: Nick 12 v 0 Dave

Results (31 Jan - 22 Feb)

Greetings amigos,

We might just have a title race again. Such was Mr Stewart-Jones' advantage a few weeks ago, bookmakers had hinted at paying out on bets early on the Midlander winning an unprecedented sixth domestic title. Not so now. The last few weeks have seen something of a downturn in form with our current leader adding a total of 13 points to his tally, whilst the two managers in his rearview mirror, Mr Moore and Mr O'Callaghan, picked up 21 and 29 points respectively. SJ still has an extremely handy 12 point cushion at the top of the table, but the gap has more than halved since the turn of the year, and if MD and Ad continue their current form, we could have an enthralling battle down the stretch. To complete the picture, Mr Crinnion scored 23 points, myself 22, Mr Luke 19, Mr Raistrick 16 and Mr West 8. Last but by no means least, Adam's performance in January was sufficient to land the MotM Award, the 32nd of his career to date - congratulations amigo!

Any mistakes let me know. Fixtures sent earlier this week (note there's a Friday night kick off amongst them).

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (24th & 25th January)

Greetings amigos,

Following crisis talks with my chairman after bringing the club into disrepute with my nil point return last time around, I managed to reclaim at least some respectability by top scoring with 11 points this time around. Mr Moore was one point behind me on 10, chipping another 3 points off the deficit between himself and Mr Stewart-Jones, who scored 7. To complete the picture, Mr Raistrick scored 8 points, Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Crinnion scored 4 apiece, Mr Luke 3 and Mr West 1.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Danny

Results (17th & 18th January)

Greetings amigos,

Some surprising results produced a very low scoring week, as just 25 points were scored by all managers combined. The immediate chasing pack took at least partial advantage of Mr Stewart-Jones' 2 point haul - Mr O'Callaghan led the scoring with 7 points, with Mr West (6) and Mr Moore (5) following. SJ's lead remains a commanding one, but it has been reduced to 23 points as a result of this gameweek. Elsewhere Mr Luke and Mr Crinnion scored 2 points apiece and Mr Raistrick added 1 point to his tally. Myself and Mr McClay both scored 0 points, however, Dave at least has the excuse that he didn't submit predictions! I have the unwanted record of being the first manager in Predictio history to score the square root of fuck all. It serves me right for not backing Sunderland to beat Palace!

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures sent earlier this evening.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

The business end of the group stage is full flight, with two of the three groups taking serious shape ahead of the knockout phase. The one exception is Group A, where the Theo derby saw an enthralling 4-4 draw, meaning that qualification is anyone's as we enter the last 2 rounds of group fixtures. Groups B and C look significantly more sewn up, as Adam defeated myself 7-4 to maintain his 100% record and guarantee his place in the semi-finals, whilst SJ played out the same scenario as he notched his third win of the tournament by defeating Dave 5-0.

Any mistakes let me know, Matchday 5 will take place during the weekend of 3rd & 4th January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A: Theo L 4 v 4 Theo W

Group B: Adam 7 v 4 Danny

Group C: Dave 0 v 5 SJ

Results (29th-30th November & 6th-7th December)

Greetings amigos,

With the often season-defining festive fixture list just around the corner, it is somewhat premature to start etching the name of a manager into the silver of the hallowed Predictio title trophy, however, Mr Stewart-Jones' continued good form makes such an idea appear less problematic with each passing week. Over the last fortnight SJ added another 14 points to his tally, more than enough to secure the November MotM Award (the 30th of his career to date - congratulations amigo!) and open up a commanding 17 point lead in the overall standings. The Midlander's hopes of winning his 6th domestic title should be bolstered by the fact that no one in the chasing pack appears capable of providing a sustained challenge. This time around Mr Moore and Mr O'Callaghan took on the mantle with respective 15 point hauls, leapfrogging the previous nearest challengers - Theo W (10), Mr Raistrick (9) and myself (8). To complete the picture, Mr Luke scored 10, Mr Crinnion 8 and Mr McClay didn't trouble the scorers.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (22nd & 23rd November)

Greetings amigos,

A week that saw pretty consistent scoring has left the league table pretty much as it was, however Mr West continued his efficient ascent up the standings as he top scored with 10 points, clawing back some ground on the top two in the process who both struggled by their lofty standards - Mr Moore scoring 6 and Mr Stewart-Jones 5. Elsewhere Mr Raistrick will be rightly happy with his 9 point haul, whilst Mr Crinnion was a point behind on 8. To complete the picture, I scored 7, Mr Luke 5 and Mr O'Callaghan 4. Mr McClay's November break from predictions continued.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
