Its A Tie In The Prediction League

Its A Tie In The Prediction League
Tuesday, 1st May 2012 09:28

It was tense on the final day of the season but after Saturday's result we have a tie at the top of the Ugly Inside Prediction League.

After the dust had settled on the prediction league, MattiusheGreat suddenly found he had a rival at the top, SaintGus came up on the rails, meaning that both finished on 77 points.

1		saintgus	44	6	15	14	16	77
2		MattiusTheGreat	42	6	12	13	21	77
3		winchesterbob	44	7	21	7	17	73
4		undertoomers	43	5	10	13	20	71
5		saintbrum64	46	3	13	13	22	70

So how do we declare the winner, with no goal difference or head to heads in this league its a difficult task, both had got the same number of correct results (6) but in other categories its Gus is better in one and Mattius another, so therefore the only thing to do is declare the final outcome a tie and the joint winners are saintgus and MattiusTheGreat. If both would like to contact me through the site's pm system I will arrange a little prize for each of them.

A special mention should go to the three members who ran them a close game, winchesterbob, undertoomers and saintbrum64 who after his second placing last year once again came agonisingly close to the top spot.

winchesterbob added 13:54 - May 1 Thanks Nick, just have to say I'm chuffed to nuts to make third place, especially as I could not bring myself to predict a draw or a Saints loss all season........ I would have felt like i was jinxing the result......it was great fun. I will be further chuffed if Saints finish third in the premiership next season!!

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
