Five games left, so let’s check in on the Predictions League - and we’ve got a fair bit of movement!
Gaffer still holds a ten point lead out in front. Barring an Arsenal-esque wobble, he’s surely done enough to wrap things up. Doing so will keep up the emerging tradition of a different winner every season.
Things are a bit tighter in second with Stretchy sitting on a two point cushion. Unfortunately for him, there is no £180 million odd prize for the runner up in this league - but it could be a consecutive runners up place for Stretchy!
Mike is pipping me for third on account of the better prediction percentage. This caps off an impressive surge up the table over the last few months! I drop to fourth and SD keeps steady at fifth.
Evesham is stuck in a bit of a no man’s land place, with a decent buffer over Big Al below. Alex’s late entry hasn’t stopped him putting points on the board with a strong prediction percentage rate. Maybe a contender for gold next season? He leapfrogs Spanish, who I hope will still be playing despite our recent loss.
Fat Boy Slim gets some separation from the bottom group with a couple of correct guesses. The big story at the bottom is Yorkie back to submitting predictions and getting some points. He now looks in a good place to avoid the wooden spoon with a jump up two places.
As for this week - I’m confident we’ll beat Middlesbrough at home. A 2-1 win to set us up for a mid-week away trip to a side battling for survival. What could go wrong?
