I'm sorry, it's time for me to give you a stern talking to. Not a single one of you predicted Preston 3 - 0 Watford or Stoke City 6 - 1 Portsmouth. It's just not good enough. It mustn't happen again.
That must have been the most unpredictable prediction round in history. It's not that Pompey let in six it's that Stoke scored them.

It's nearly 8 o'clock (alright then, a quarter to five) but I have cooking, eating and drinking to do. I bet Musty puts his in before I've finished pouring the first beer and I'm pretty damn quick at that I can tell you. Interestingly, we've only got 15 "votes" for away wins and 3 of those are for Leeds at Sunderland, which is actually 1st hosts fifth. Another 5 are for Oxford to win at Portsmouth. You have to feel sorry for Portsmouth, coming back into this league and I'm sure thinking they were enroute to the Premier. Well, not really, no. On the other hand, all of you have gone for Norwich to beat Hull in the Super Match, which I picked because I thought it could go either way. What am I missing? There's one lonely soul going for the draw it looks like on paper. Guess who that is. A nice spread of jokers apart from the Double Double Points Twins. I think a pattern is developing here. Two playing the Forty Five Minute card with the rest in more statistically likely area for a first goal. As long it's for Argyle, I'll be happy.

Lyndhurst and Sensible tied with 15 points from their match forecasts, with Lyndhurst getting 8 of the 12 results right to Sensible's 6 but Sensible pipped him with his joker on the Super Match. Joe and Lyndhurst were jointly closest to the first goal time: both forecasting12 minutes against the actual 15. Last week, Sensible and SMH were joint top on 89 points so the position changes look a bit odd: Sensible is now has a lead of 5 points. Lyndhurst overtook Away in BC for third place.
Mea culpe, it seems an error got into the progress graph. I believe the league table has been right all along but a couple of weeks ago, I took a duff figure into the graph. The two should now be consistent. The next round doesn't start until Friday 18th October. As now the pattern, it runs through to Sunday and is quickly followed by the next set of games starting on Tuesday 22nd. The Super Match will be the M1 derby, Leeds United (5th, 16 points) v Sheffield United (2nd, 19 points). Here is the match text: Leeds United - Sheffield United Cardiff City - Plymouth Argyle Luton Town - Watford Oxford United - West Bromwich Albion Preston North End - Coventry City Blackburn Rovers - Swansea City Middlesbrough - Bristol City Millwall - Derby County Queens Park Rangers - Portsmouth Sheffield Wednesday - Burnley Stoke City - Norwich City Hull City - Sunderland For those that are interested, Argyle have two away games back-to-back, against Cardiff City at 12:30 on Saturday 19th and Millwall at 19:45 on Wednesday 23rd. I presume both will be on Sky+ and Argyle TV. A single month Argyle TV pass is £5.50 so you'd get both those games. Or, you could do this: https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/away-match-screenings-home-park
