Week 36 results
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION 3 BRENTFORD 3
Alexis Mac Allister scored a 90th minute penalty as Brighton fought back three times to earn a deserved point, as they had 33 shots with 15 on target. Nobody got this spot-on, though 5 did have the outcome. The other 20 predicted a win for Brighton with 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
CRYSTAL PALACE 2 LEICESTER CITY 1
Palace snatched victory over their fellow strugglers as Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a 94th minute winner in Roy Hodgson's first game since returning as manager. That late goal was good news for the 4 who had this spot-on, and the 8 who got the outcome.
CARDIFF CITY 2 SWANSEA CITY 3
Having claimed the first league double in 111 years of this fixture last season, Swansea have repeated the feat in this campaign, with Ben Cabango's goal in the 99th minute. Again nobody got this spot-on, but 7 did have the outcome.
WIGAN ATHLETIC 1 QUEENS PARK RANGERS 0
Wigan recorded a first win in nine games thanks to Max Power's 6th minute penalty, but they are still 5 points from safety after being docked three points for failing to pay player salaries in March. A great 8 had this spot-on, and a another 6 got the outcome.
DERBY COUNTY 0 IPSWICH TOWN 2
Ipswich closed in on the top two with a seventh-straight victory, the first time since August 1989, and an eighth consectutive clean sheet. 3 got this spot-on, and further 10 had the outcome.
PORT VALE 0 CAMBRIDGE UNITED 2
Cambridge earned three valuable points in their battle against relegation, to end a six-match winless run. Well done to MrHappy2 for being the only one to predict a win for Cambridge, and he got it spot-on. 23 predicted a win for Port Vale.
DONCASTER ROVERS 0 CREWE ALEXANDRA 2
Crewe put further daylight between themselves and the League Two relegation places with this victory, and left Rovers with a sixth defeat from their last nine matches. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, though 3 did have the outcome. 18 predicted a win for Rovers.
Another week where there were a number of well fancied teams, but with Brighton, Port Vale and Doncaster failing to win, and only four games producing a 3 pointer, it should have been difficult to get decent points. But nobody told MrHappy2, as he got three 3 pointers, the wins for Wigan, Ipswich and Cambridge, and two outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer, with a magnificent 11 points. Three members did well to have two 3 pointers. They were Tropical_Us and Daniel who both had the wins for Wigan and Ipswich, with the former getting a decent 8 points, and the latter a decent 7 points. Also thrillseeker who got the wins for Palace and Wigan, to give him a good 6 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were mfb_cufc, who had the Wigan 1-0, and oxfcolu, who had the Palace 2-1. They both also got two outcomes, to give them a solid 5 points each.
Midweek League Cup A reminder for the two finalist unitedwhites and MrHappy2. The fixtures for the final are now ready for predicting, with the deadline on Easter Monday 15.00.
In the Premier Those solid 5 points helped to maintain a decent lead for mfb_cufc, but another strong week from thrillseeker reduced the deficit by another point. The title looks between these two, as there is now an 8 point gap back to noah4x4, who regained third place. Although he only got the one outcome, RSCOSWORTH remains odds on to claim a Super Cup spot, as those in the chasing pack fail to take advantage. In fact it was another week of very little change in this division, someting that has been a theme for a majority of the season. The only other change came from ghughes11, who moved back into the top half again. With only 20 games left to the season, it is the battle to avoid relegation that could provide the most excitement, as the great escape is definitely on now for Daniel. Four weeks ago he was 14 points from safety, but after another decent week, he has reduced that to only a point, as no 3 pointers in the last 6 weeks has put blueeagle in trouble.
In Division One Three outcomes were enough for Moor_Pinot to remain top for the seventh week running, and one outcome keeps bwildered in the other automatic spot. The Premier may have remained pretty static for quite a while, but that is not the case in this league, with the play-off places changing almost every week. That was certainly the case this week. It was only three weeks ago when Tropical_Us was in ninth place, and only hopeful of making the play-offs. Three big weeks later, and he is now third, only 2 points short of an automatic place. Even though he dropped a place on the most 3 pointer rule, GOSBTS is right back into automatic contention. After Week 20 MrHappy2 was top of the table, but a gradual decline since then, saw him in ninth place last week. But his fantastic performance this week moved him up four places to fifth, and only 5 points from the automatics. The final play-off place is still occupied by oxfcolu, after he had the Palace 2-1 spot-on. Despite firing blanks Madeira163 and Lewis_1 both still have every chance of making the play-offs. Two outcomes for burnsieespana means he is the final one with a realistic play-off chance, as gerry_us is going to require two big final weeks to give him any chance.
