After all that,  Freathy and Rickler finish joint top with identical records.  Suggest they sort it out by forecasting the cup final

 

I agree - cup final tie breaker!

Well, Freathy...  With both of us predicting a Gunners win, but not with the correct score, it was... Close, but no cigars for either of us!


Pete is not around, I don't think he is too well?  But surely he would want us to carry on among ourselves?



So are you up for 'the Championship' final?

I go:

QPR 2 Derby 1


Get well Pete!!

Good idea Rickler. If Freathy can forecast the Qpr and Derby game as a tie breaker then we will hopefully see a winner.
If neither of you get this one then we have other games to use!
The way it is going you could be forecasting on the 1st game of the 14/15 season as a tie breaker.  

Why not do all three playoffs?

Have just returned, please sort it out among yourselves.

Welcome back Pete!


MVL..

If freathy also wants to predict QPR to win, then we can predict further matches. If he chooses Derby or a draw at the end of normal play then there will be no need to.

Welcome back Pete, missed you.

Unlikely but....

QPR 1-2 Derby

Are you up for it again this season Pete or are you still recuperating ? It must be quite taxing working out the scores and league positions after every match and I wouldn't expect you to commit to another season unless you felt 100% fighting fit. No pressure mate, just curious, someone else might be prepared to give it a try if you're not going to, the season starts one week today   

Best Wishes, Asti.

Don't really feel up to it, perhaps somebody else could take over. Thanks for the good wishes ~ Pete

You've done an admirable job Pete, thanks, enjoy your retirement.

No problem Pete, any takers ? I nominate Tring, he can work it all out while he's sat around in the sun all day(or at the bar) if he can count he's a shoe in IMO

Seconded.

Is there anybody prepared to give it a go?

I will have a go at it, just tell me what i have got to do..

Basically record all the forecasts and award points (a) for a correct score 3 points. (b) for a correct result 1 point. You tell us what you would like to do about extra time and penalty shoot outs for cup games. Bonus points for naming scorers?

Cheers Pete, the end of an era.

 

 

Ok.

For predicting the correct score, 3 points.
For predicting the correct result, 1 point.
For naming the correct scorer, 1 and a half points.
For extra time in cup games, half a point for the correct score at the end of the 30 minutes.
For predicting penalty shootouts, half a point for the correct penalty shootout score.

I will do the phases and will do a league table every three months (but I will give you updates on a regular basis, once a month).

So at the end of each three month spell, the top two will go into the final at the end of the season. I suggest that the Play-Off Semi-Finals and Play-Off finals (including the Conference) will be a good choice.

For this, i will do a mini league of six people and after all the prediction results are concluded, we will have a final winner.

All sounds good to me. My forecast ~ Cambridge 0 Argyle 1 Morgan to score

I'm out this year.
