    Thanks Matster.......great mind and sheep.....five goals and one draw away from me .......we'll either sweep the board or sink without trace (bit like the Gas I suppose!). Bring on those MKDs :1980_boogie_down:

    Two difficult matches to start....if we carry on like this anybody choosing a position lower than 20th has a chance!

    After 20% of the season.....

    As I said it's not all over 'til the fat lady sings (in The Loggerheads after the last match?); there will be more twists and turns than a tricky winger before we're finished.

    If Bradshaw gets near 20 goals KDS is laughing (?)
    BUT we must stop drawing...nothing to with this, we must get some three pointers......a win and a loss is better than two draws! Come on Town, up the pace!

    What's the record for draws in a season at Division 3 level?.....and did they go down?

    I'm sure an STFC fan knows this fact...I don't :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Matster may be in the lead but all still have a chance......although STFC need some amazing feats to help KDS!

    Oh dear, oh dear! Our current position is perilous....I predict our next point is against Bristol City on 8th March. However. our abilities to predict this doom is amazing. Only KDS has a problem but its less than the teams! Theoretically three good purchases and a change in enthusiasm might even give him a chance. A high score is a good prediction.....GMM is the one to catch. Floreat Salopia!

    Well Lenny's coming up on the rails!.....and unless we draw no more matches, Tom scores two in every match left and we improve our goal difference by over 20 then poor KDS doesn't have a chance (a bit like me in the betting league)!
    I think this format gives us all still a chance until the last week .....so may do it again next year when Div 2 may be less predictable than our Div 1 demise.

    As we reach the business end of the season it's good to reflect that we are better at predicting Shrews performances than they are at delivering. The tables show how it stands....60 is a maximum, so some great performances. The other shows our original predictions......some people were a little optimistic!! I'll update after a brief holiday and make sure we all see the results.
    If we do it next season I'll work out a visual format that I can update every week.....either Div 1 or 2 could prove fun to predict......let's hope it's the former!!!

    Just clicking on the images enlarges them!!

    Well done Lenny; do you want to defend your title next season?
    I still need to work on an easily transferable format from Microsoft Office to here....then I can post every week!
    Do we want this again?
    It's been fun to see how we think the great STFC will do...let's hope next season they exceed expectations.

    I think Lenny uses an edited and saved screenshot using printscreen button/paint. He then uploads it and posts it.

    An alternative is to alter your settings to show wysiwyg formatting, but I find it a pain to have all of the time as i use my phone a lot. I'll did out the details when on a laptop for you.

    Would love you to run it again. Is there anything to do regarding world cup qualifiers? Top two, points,, games won, goals, etc.

    For the actual results tables I use the coding included in the advanced reply - if you reply to this with a quote you should get the coding for the tables. I copy and paste it into a word document for the betting league, and it's pretty self-explanatory how to add an extra row (copy and paste a previous one and replace it with the new data you want, in case it's not!).

    [table="width: 500, class: grid, align: left"]

    [td]Pos.[/td]

    To make it easier to use in word I put the text bits bold and in massive font through word, which then doesn't affect how they show up in here. You can change the colours of stuff by selecting it and using the drop down menu below the "A" button. Actually quite a lot of stuff you can do with basic HTML on here, which is good.
