Week 4 results
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 2
For the first time in Premier League history, United found themselves two goals behind inside four minutes, before they came back to beat 10-man Forest. Nobody got this spot-on, but 26 did have the outcome, with 13 going for a 2-0 in what the weeks most predicted score.
COVENTRY CITY 0 SUNDERLAND 0
Two teams who have struggled to replicate the form of last season, which took them into the play-offs, could not be separated in this bore draw. Again nobody had this spot-on, though 9 did get the outcome.
IPSWICH TOWN 3 LEEDS UNITED 4
Leeds came from behind to register their first Championship win of the season and end Ipswich's perfect start in a seven-goal thriller at Poorman Road. No 3 pointer for anybody here, but 7 did have the outcome.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION 4 MIDDLESBROUGH 2
West Brom extended their unbeaten run to three Championship games, with this victory over 10-man Middlesbrough, who remain winless. Again no 3 pointer for anybody, though 19 did get the outcome.
BRISTOL ROVERS 1 WYCOMBE WANDERERS 2
Former Bristol City defender Joe Low played the role of local villain to perfection to put Wycombe on course to victory over lacklustre Rovers, who scored with their only shot on target. Well done to blueeagle for being the only one to get this spot-on, and only noah4x4 had the outcome. 20 predicted a win for Rovers.
FLEETWOOD TOWN 0 SHREWSBURY TOWN 1
A first-half goal from Daniel Udoh wins it for Shrewsbury, as 9-man Fleetwood only manage one shot on target. Well done to ghughes11 for being the only one to have this spot-on, and another 4 got the outcome.
STEVENAGE 0 PORTSMOUTH 0

NEWPORT COUNTY 3 SUTTON UNITED 1
Three goals in the last 20 minutes win it for Newport, as they came from behind to claim this latest victory. Only Daniel and gerry_us had this spot-on, and another 17 got the otcome.
SALFORD CITY 1 ACCRINGTON STANLEY 2
First-half goals from Whalley and Josh Andrews put Accrington in command before Ryan Watson's late penalty halved the deficit. Well done to Blue4U2 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and only Lewis_1 had the outcome.
SWINDON TOWN 6 CRAWLEY TOWN 0
Jake Young scored four second-half goals as Swindon thrashed Crawley, managed by former Swindon boss Scott Lindsey. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, but 20 did get the outcome.
The first big 10 game week of the season, and what a disaster it turned out to be. With plenty of goals in some games, none at all in others, and a few surprise results, it all added up to be another tough week for finding those important 3 pointers. When the team bottom of League 2 can go and win 3-0 away to the team at the top, it sums up just how difficult predicting football matches has been so far this season. Another example, in the 28 games played so far in the Happy League, not one has finished 1-1, and only one has ended 1-0. Not good for the usual two top results. Only 6 spot-ons in total, but the 110 outcomes made sure every member got at least 2 points. Those 3 pointers were shared out with six members getting one each, as can be seen above. There was 3-way tie for being the weeks top scorer, between ghughes11, Blue4U2 and gerry_us, who each also had five outcomes, to give them a very decent 8 points.
In the Premier Last week the top three were only seperated by the tie-breaker rules. This week the top three remain the same, but five outcomes for concordman has given him a one point lead over thrillseeker and oxfcolu, who both got four outcomes. The top scoring performance from ghughes11 moved him up three places to fourth. It is all the fives for Moor_Pinot, as five outcomes means incredibly, he remains in his favoured fifth place for the fouth week running. Four outcomes for noah4x4, but he drops to sixth. A decent 7 points for blueeagle, that included getting a first 3 pointer this season, moved him up a place to seventh. Despite having five outcomes, RSCOSWORTH also drops a couple to eighth. Five outcomes also for Sector4, as he moves up a place, and out of the relegation zone. Where he is replaced one again by mfb_cufc. The decent week for GOSBTS finally got him off the bottom for the first time, as moves above unitedwhites. All very tight down there though, as the bottom four are only separated by a point.
In Division One Five outcomes were enough for BFG to remain top for the fourth week running. Fives points also for Daniel, and he remains in the other automatic place for the third week in a row. The top scoring performance from Blue4U2 moved him up a big five places into third. Five outcomes for Tropical_Us, means he remains fourth. Three outcomes for burnsieespana keeps him in a play-off place. After a week away, four outcomes for Madeira163, moves him back into the final play-off spot. Just losing out on the most 3 pointer rule, is wessex_exile, but he moved up a couple of places, as his five outcomes have given him an impressive fifteen for the season. The highlight for the rest of the league, was the top scoring performance from gerry_us, taking him off the bottom, and moving him up four places. He is replaced by TheRams, who continues to wait for that first Happy League 3 pointer.
