12th Happy League Week 20 (of 38) - Deadline 15.00 Friday 22:40 - Dec 20 with 1820 viewsmfb_cufc

THENET and BFG made the headlines last week, by being joint top scorers. This week they both make the headlines again. THENET, by getting an incredible 17 points, became only the third person in the history of the Happy League to achieve this. He is also the first person ever to get five spot-on in one week. Superb predicting, well played. He was one of the ten members to predict West Ham's 2-0 win. This was the weeks most predicted result, closely followed by the nine who had Cheltenham's one all draw. Those two popular results were the main reason for making this the highest scoring week of the season so far. BFG had both of those and by also getting Coventry's one all draw, and four other outcomes, had an excellent 13 points. Those 13 points moved him up an amazing six places in the Premier. In fact he would have gone from relegation zone to Charity Shield in one hit, if it was not for his brother SEVEBALO producing his best ever week, with a brilliant 14 points (three spot-on and five other outcomes). Those points moved him up five places into second, though 13 points behind MRHAPPY, who extends his lead with a solid 10 points. The only other move of significance in this league is downward, as ETHICSGIRL drops into the relegation zone for the first time this season.
In Division One THENET's heroics enabled him to extend his lead to 13 points, and dare I say it, is looking good for promotion. Rookie SECTOR4 equaled his seasons best, with a very good 12 points (including three spot-on), and moved up three places, and must be hopeful of at least a play-off spot at the first attempt. The spot-on king BLUENWIGHTEXILE was the only one who thought Man. Utd. wouldn't win, and was rewarded with 3 points, for predicting the one all draw. A good 10 points for COLUKEV, enough for him to squeeze into the final play-off place. It was a bad week for Daniel not to predict, and he drops five places in the process.
Now only one week, and six games left for Champions League qualification. The eleventh and final qualifying spot is now held by THRILLSEEKER again, with 77 points. But with four people within two points of this score, this is still as close as it has been for weeks now.

THE TABLES (138 played)
(Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers & then the first to post)

Yes, I saw your message, and I thought you were joking. You can amend any prediction before the games are played, but obviously not afterwards. It is down to you to check for typos before posting, not after the result is known. If Leicester had won the game 2-1 I am sure you would have thought that was a bit of luck. You certainly wouldn't be telling me you made a mistake, and could I amend it.

I hope you are pulling our leg -but something tells me you are deadly serious.

Which amounts to the most ridiculous request in my 12 season tenure.

Do you think we are stupid?

I told you before this is fun league with serious undertones.

MFG-I'm glad you have Addressed this immediatly and will not tolerste such madness.

Also, keep an eye out as at this stage of the season some players start to crack.

It was just a request. Normally I would've just put it down to bad luck but after what happened with Wessex last week I wondered what the precedent was, especially as it was an obvious typo. If that's the ruling then so be it.

I sympathise RS, but I just posted predictions believing the deadline to be 3pm as stated, without even realising one match had already been played, and which I got a point for (not 3 mind). Like I said at the time, even though I appreciate MFBs (and Happy's) acceptance there was no attempt to take advantage, if that point proves decisive at any point, I will relinquish it. Understandably, it's a much tougher call for a typo after the event, particularly if your predictions might have been a factor in the predictions of those around you?

I know what you're saying Wessex and I genuinely believe that you posted without knowing the scoreline of the early kick off but you still made a mistake, like I did, and I can't really see how one is different from the other. I had Derby to win against Middlesbrough, I'm pretty sure there would've been a few draws predicted along with some Middlesbrough wins, like you predicted, but I'd be surprised if anyone else, other than myself in error, predicted Leicester to win at West Ham. Leicester a team who haven't won since September away at West Ham who are pretty strong at home. As typo's go I think it's a pretty obvious one.

Just to add to the whole "made a mistake" situation - I completely forgot to post the other week (in my head I had!) and I then asked if I got the default scores to which I was informed I did not.....so I guess there has to be a line drawn somewhere and that's what the Admin(s) do - although like refereeing it does avoid issues if there is consistency.

Merry Christmas all!

Good points Net and RS - Technically, I didn't make a mistake, I just posted in accordance with the deadline for predictions oblivious to the fact one match had already been played. The oversight was MFB's by getting the deadline wrong and/or not highlighting that one match was an earlier kick-off, and he held his hand up immediately to the fact. So I suppose there is consistency here, mistakes are unfortunate, but we have to stand by the outcomes?

...and indeed, Merry Christmas everyone!
