Week 38 results
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 3 LEICESTER CITY 0
A comfortable win for Wolves, as they equalled a club record by making it six straight top-flight wins for the first time since 1970. Only oxfcolu and Lewis_1 got this spot-on, and a further 21 had the outcome.
LUTON TOWN 1 COVENTRY CITY 0
Shandon Baptiste's 90th-minute winner secured a dramatic victory for Luton, in a fiery match that saw both teams finish with 10 men. Nobody had this spot-on, but 3 did get the outcome.
CARDIFF CITY 0 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 0
Cardiff will play in the third tier of English football for the first time in 22 years next season after their relegation from the Championship was confirmed with this bore draw. Nobody got this spot-on, though 5 did have the outcome.
HULL CITY 0 DERBY COUNTY 1
Derby moved out of the relegation places and sent Hull into the drop zone in their place with a dramatic and possibly season-defining victory. Only Lewis_1 and BFG had this spot-on, and another 3 got the outcome.
MIDDLESBROUGH 0 NORWICH CITY 0
Jack Wilshere marked his debut in interim charge of Norwich by putting a dent in the Championship promotion hopes of former England teammate Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough after this bore draw. Well done to Moor_Pinot for being the only one to get this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome. 22 predicted a win for Middlesbrough, with a massive 14 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
MILLWALL 1 SWANSEA CITY 0
George Saville's close-range finish proved decisive for Millwall, as Swansea's run of five successive wins came to an end, A magnificent 7 had this spot-on, and a further 13 got the outcome.
EXETER CITY 3 HUDDERSFIELD 1
Exeter signed off in style as they came from behind to win their final home League One game of the season, and inflict a fifth successive defeat on Huddersfield. Another game with no 3 pointer, but 6 did have the outcome.
STOCKPORT COUNTY 3 LINCOLN CITY 2
Substitute Isaac Olaofe's goal completed the comeback for Stockport, as they came from two goals down to win. A goal and two assists for ex-U's Jayden Fevrier. Yet another game with no 3 pointer, though 19 did get the outcome.
DONCASTER ROVERS 2 BRADFORD CITY 1
Doncaster won promotion to League One with this victory, ending a three-season stay in the fourth tier. The two goals in added time was good news for the 9 who got this spot-on, and another 3 had the outcome.
SALFORD CITY 4 COLCHESTER UNITED 1
Salford moved into the League Two play-off positions after a dominant victory over rivals Colchester. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, but 6 did get the outcome.
We went into the final week of the season with some issues still to be decided, especially the Premier title, and Division One promotion. Just like the penultimate 10 game week of the season, it turned out to be another one of indifferent results, with five games failing to have a 3 pointer again, and it was left to the wins for Millwall and Doncaster to give us 16 of the total 21 spot-ons. With 3 pointers hard to come by, it was a great performance from Lewis_1 to be the only one to have three, the wins for Wolves, Derby and Millwall, and two outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a fantastic 11 points. Three members did well to get two 3 pointers, with the best coming from BFG, who got the wins for Derby and Millwall, and four outcomes, to give him a brilliant 10 points. Also oxfcolu, who had the wins for Wolves and Doncaster, and Moor_Pinot, who got the Millwall 1-0 and the good Middlesbrough 0-0 prediction. They each also had two outcomes, to give them both an excellent 8 points. Best of those to get one 3 pointer were mfb_cufc, RSCOSWORTH and basher2010, who each had the Doncaster 2-1, and six outcomes, to give them all an excellent 9 points.
In the Premier After going into the final week with a precarious one point lead, mfb_cufc produced an excellent week to take him to the magic 200 points, and give him a sixth Premier title. After holding a 19 point lead at Week 10, blueeagle will probably be disappointed not to have held on, but after getting the Doncaster 2-1 spot-on he equalled the record for most 3 pointers in a season with his 39, and his second place was his best ever finish, and he still has a chance of honours in the Charity Shield. A good second-half to the season for unitedwhites gave him his best ever finish in third. He was also only one short of equalling his own record for 3 pointers, he jointly held after winning Division One in the 2020/2021 season. Another consistent season for thrillseeker, where he was never out of the top five, ended with him matching last seasons fourth place finish. An excellent final week for RSCOSWORTH moved him up a place to fifth. His highest position since Week 12. A decent final week for concordman moved him a place to sixth. A satisfactory seasons high finish for him, after spending most of the season trying to avoid the drop. After spending a number of weeks flirting with relegation, ghughes11 was also fairly comfortable in the end, with a seventh place. After an uncomfortable start to the season, Daniel picked up to be challenging in third after Week 23, before making the fifth place his own for 13 weeks. Just two outcomes in the final week saw him drop three places to finish eighth. After being bottom for the first two weeks, Sector4 recovered to spend a number of weeks in mid-table. Then spent the final eight weeks trying to avoid the drop, until two decent weeks to end the season got over the line in ninth. A decent final week was not enough to stop oxfcolu from being relegated, after spending two seasons in the Premier. It is an instant return to Division One for the other two in the bottom three after their promotion last season. After spending the first 14 weeks of the season in either 2nd or 3rd, it was a surprise that basher2010 fell away so bad to get relegated. As for burnsieespana, he spent most of the season avoiding the drop, but after two brilliant weeks in Week 30 & 31, that took him up to seventh, things looked good. But it proved to be a false dawn.
In Division One As usual this league has been another closely fought one, with the lead changing on numerous occasions throughout the season. The final one to take over at the summit in Week 35 was Lewis_1, and he stayed there to the end, by winning the title in style with his fantastic final week. It is probably fitting he is joined in the Premier by bwildered, as he has spent 18 weeks of the season in that top spot. He has gone one better after reaching the play-offs last season. After being relegated last season, Moor_Pinot has struggled most of this season, until a fantastic final few weeks has seen him rise to finish a season high third, just one point short of the automatics. Another to struggle early doors was Jorash63, but a strong second-half has seen him spend 7 weeks in the other automatic spot. But only three outcomes in the final week means he has to settle for finishing fourth. I made noah4x4 the pre-season favourite, due to his record of winning the Division One title twice in the past, as well as two Premier titles, and at the times he looked like backing my prediction, as he had 12 weeks in the automatics through the seaon. But just like in last seasons relegation, it was a lack of 3 pointers that let him down, and he ended by finishing fifth. For the second season running the final play-off place is occupied by Tropical_Us, after his excellent final week. A brilliant final week for BFG was not quite enough for him to make the play-offs for the second season running, and he finished a point short in seventh. After spending many weeks in the top six, wessex_exile ends the season just like the U's, by falling short in eighth. It looked good for most of the season for durham_exile, until an unfortunate missed week knocked him back, and he never recovered to finish ninth. It was a season of just being on the peripherals of the play-offs for Blue4U2, without ever making them, and he finished tenth. Even though he was fourth after Week 2, gerry_us never scaled those heights again, and he ended matching last seasons eleventh place. A rare poor season for Madeira163, but the wooden spoon goes to Colukev for dropping out.

Brilliant performance as usual Mick, both predicting and reporting. Very well done; nothing now to look forward to Saturday evenings for a few months. You get some time off though.
Question.
Can I transfer some or all of my points from Daniel's U's prediction league? That would move me up a bit!   |  | | |
