    Wow. A last day reprieve, AGAIN.
    Staying in a cottage near Rhayader with no phone or 4G. Only just catching up.
    Had to walk down the track to make my prediction.

    Congratulations Ninian next year I am going to copy you!
    Commiserations Irish - why do I feel a bit guilty?
    Looking forward to renewing rivalries with William and seeing what Mr Clingo is made of, of course!
    Good luck to everyone involved in the play offs and the Capaldi Cup
    Cheers Sheepy - thanks again

    Masky, note to self:
    Compete in the ESPL next season, and bring a bit of class back to it! No offence pals, but Masky is wise!
    Yours faithfully,

    Half time then in the battle of predicting wits that are the Playoffs (points are hard to come by <laugh>)

    @Oldsparkey 0 - 0 @mustyfrog
    Nothing seperates our first tie as both predicters back a draw in the Swans match and fail to account for Fulhams 2nd half dominance at the CCS. Onto the 2nd half then, where hopefully we will have some points!

    @FrankfurterBlue 0 - 0 @BrizzleBluebird
    As Frankfurter is a no show, Brizzle misses a massive chance to take control of this tie but it wayward with his predictions. Will Furter return to make Brizzle pay for his lack of ruthlessness?

    Good thing there are two more ties.... <laugh><ok>

    I recall forgetting to post for the first leg one season (might have been last year) then won the second leg.
    A bit embarrasing on my part.
    Being an honorable soul, I took it though.<cheers>

    Ok.......I have looked and been watching for the playoff rules etc and seen bugger all. Im travelling at the mo but using free wifi all the time to see what's needed. How the hell did I miss it?

    The scores following Round 3 (with both ties bursting into life!)

    @Oldsparkey 6 - 2 @mustyfrog
    Can Sparks close out a trip to the final in the final leg? Musty backs another draw but picks up both Watkins and Brewster goals but now has a 4 point defecit to make up after Sparks is only one goal out on his 3-0 Brentford win prediction.

    @FrankfurterBlue 6 - 5 @BrizzleBluebird

    All of a sudden we have a thrilling tie on our hands as both back a 3-1 Brentford, so only FFB's decision to back Watkins for the first goal seperates the two.

    Also the Final involves predicting the FA Cup Final which is this Saturday (1st August @ 17:30) so another quick turnaround! (Note @FrankfurterBlue <laugh>)

    The results of our 19/20 Div II semi-finals -

    @Oldsparkey 9 - 2 @mustyfrog
    Ahhh Musty umms and arrrrs about who to back with his 2-1 prediction..... and picks Fulham <wah> That leaves room for the ever optimistic Sparky to make this tie very comfortable - 2 more points for his 3-0 prediction and another for Tomlins goal send him to anoother Playoff Final. Musty has now fallen at the semi-final stage 3 times which must be a record. Will this finally be the moment that Sparky breaks free of Div II??? <yikes>

    @FrankfurterBlue 6 - 5 @BrizzleBluebird
    A strange tie between these two as 3 of the matches return absolutley no points but they both ranshacked the Bees/Swans match. So yeh as no more points are yielded, FFB just about manages to squeeze past Brizzle (despite those two extra predictions!!!) to make it to the final.

    Commiserations to Musty and Brizzle. Good efforts guys <ok>

    The 19/20 Div II Playoff Final will be -

    @Oldsparkey (3) vs @FrankfurterBlue (4)

    Predicting -

    FA Cup Final: Arsenal vs Chelsea (Saturday 1st August @17:00)
    Championship Playoff Final: Brentford vs Fulham (Tuesday 4th August @19:45)

    Same again then guys - PM your predictions!

    Well played Brizzle and sorry to see you go down. I'll try and do us proud against Sparkey but my prediction powers seem to be a bit hit and miss!!!!

    Furter - looks like it's you and me pal - the final countdown....<laugh>

    Cheers FFB. Good luck to both finalists.... deserved your places.

    My fate appears to be mirroring our own team... can only hope for a good close season and a fast start to next season!

    Thanks again Sheepy for all you've been doing!

    HT in the Div II Playoff Final -

    @Oldsparkey 1 - 5 @FrankfurterBlue
    And it is FFB who has a firm frip on this tie and looks set for a retun to the top tier. All 4 points for backing the Gunners 2-1 win and another for their scorer see him open up a large lead over Sparks, who backs Chelsea and Pulsic. Does Sparky have it within his locker to pull out an Istanbull like comeback or is this the end of the road for another Playoff campaign? <yikes>

    Furter on fire - best I can hope for is a draw. <yikes>

    Might be being a tad optimistic here, but what happens if we come out all square on points after the playoff final?

    Any suggestions or has Sheepy got it sorted already?

    Even I'd put money on your comeback Sparkey!!!! This next game is from within the Championship and my predictions are usually a triumph of hope over reality. The tiebreaker is goals scored isn't it? Or I'll claim another point for Aubemyong scoring twice!
