Prediction League BPPL - Reading (H)

Typical end of season game for the prediction league for me. Safe in the middle of the playoffs - no chance of the autos and Masky can't catch me unless Sheepy awards him double points for a lend of Doris........

So no pressure - City to win by 2 clear goals and Bamba to get one to cap a great season for him.The scoreline? Hmmm......2-0, 3-1, 4-2 or 5-3?

This could be a nail biter and I reckon Chris Martin will score aganst us - he always bloody does.

I'll go for a blistering 4-2 game full of drama with the right result at the end - well you can always hope.

 

Will thank William for going first , usually I would go for a loss as he’s gone for a win but i cant do that for such a big game ,i will go for a comfortable 3-0 win with zohore to score , thanks

 

Cardiff 2 - 1 Reading
Paterson

 

City 2-0

Morrison

 

Last game of the season and I could sink into the relegation zone and drop to the lower league. Dam those early morning games (02:45 am) and that missed prediction. If I predict now, surely Ninian Opinion & Blue Sheep will mirror my prediction and consign me to the lower league for next season.

I will go sit in a corner now rock back and forth gently whimpering about the cruelty of the race.

Ah, just saw Ninian's prediction.... must start thinking about my scorer.

 

Right we can do this 3-1 Kardifff. Big KZ to score!

P.S. If this goes to plan I may be out of action for a while so don’t expect an update soon

Cmon City!

 

AARGHHHHHH, the pain increases. Blue, I was gonna go for that scoreline and goal scorer... time to rethink.

 

Bluebirds 2 - 1 Reading Junior Hoillet to give me a glimmer of hope.

 

2-2 etheridge with a 99 yarder

 

Haven't heard Tan asking Etheridge why hasn't he scored unlike Marshall.

 

Oops
I already predicted....and got them both wrong

 

WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE! (And God my head hurt this morning! )

And here is your final 17/18 BPPL Table - Reading persistence refusing the yield many points so down to Bonus Points it goes!

• Starting at the top - congratulations to @william5551 as he is the 17/18 BPPL Division I Champion! The perfect response to narrowing missing out last season, this time he clings on to the title after @Rumney Bluebird can't make up the 3 point gap. But still a very good debut top flight season for Rumney
• The bonus point proves crucial in the fight for the drop - @ninian opinion manages to lift himself clear just as the trap door closed. Despite great thought for @taffthefish over his final prediction, City's inability to take one of the many chances meant that it didn't matter in the end, and that Taff is relegated again Sheep survives by the finest margin!
• For the 2nd time @whiffletree is the Division II Champion after the BP and high CS tally ensure a straight return to the Top Flight. And finally a breakthrough for @danablu - after so much Playoff heartbreak he finally manages to secure automatic promotion! That means that it is @Sayer77 who will have to face the Playoff lottery. However, he has already been promoted via the Playoffs before and his head to head record is quite scary....
• @Masky can't muster the point he needed to crash the Playoff party and misses out narrowly to @Dai Jones & @FrankfurterBlue (who manages to cling on just). Their reward is a face off with Sayer and @Oldsparkey - thread up soon for Friday's first leg.

That's nearly a wrap then fellas - back soon with the Post Season thread.

Hope your all basking in the warm glow of promotion!

 

Well done Sheepy - fantastic effort on this throughout the season and much appreciated by all.

 

Well done Mr Sheep for organising the league again

Personally delighted to have avoided relegation again; I was top for a fleeting moment but just couldn’t predict a correct score.

Congrats to the respective winners. Look forward to it again next season

ps I’m still on a huge high after yesterday

BLUEBIRDS

 

Thank you Sheepy and well done William and Whiffletree on your championships

 

Congratulations William and Whiffle.

Brilliant work Sbeepy.

Looking forward to next season already.

 

Well, I guess next season will give a wider range of results possible and a wider range of predictions. But we still have playoffs to go. Interesting that in Div 1 there was the gap of one CS between relegated and playoffs!!!!
Once again, Mr Sheep...a great job done and many thanks.

 

Congratulations to William but beware the curse of winning the league!
Also well done to Whiffletree and Danablue on their promotion and the guys in the play-offs. Speaking of which what a brilliant day on Sunday. What an atmosphere.
And of course many thanks to Mr Bluesheep for all his efforts running the BPPL. Don't forget to predict every game next season
Now, when are the fixtures out? BLUEBIRDS!

 

excellent mr sheep! thanks mate.

 

Thanks again Mr Blue Sheep a wonderful job as always. Good luck in the play offs lads
