Week 24 Results ARSENAL 4 CRYSTAL PALACE 1 Arsenal are now unbeaten in their last 19 league home games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday. Well done to Pinault_Noir for being the only one to get this spot-on, though 15 did have the outcome. BURNLEY 0 MANCHESTER UNITED 1 David de Gea has kept more clean sheets than any other goalkeeper in Europe's big five leagues this season (14). There were 3 who had this spot-on, and a further 14 got the outcome, with 7 going for a 2-0, in what was equal the most predicted result this week. NORWICH 1 SHEFFIELD UNITED 2 Sheff Utd get their first league win since Boxing Day. There were 4 who got this spot-on, and just 2 more had the outcome. ROCHDALE v SOUTHEND POSTPONED ROTHERHAM 1 PORTSMOUTH 0 Rotherham win it with their only shot on target in the 91st minute. There were 3 who got this spot-on, and a further 10 had the outcome, with 7 going for a 2-1, in what was the weeks other most predicted result. FOREST GREEN 5 CAMBRIDGE UNITED 2 Forest Green came from behind to thrash Cambridge. Nobody had this spot-on, but 4 did get the outcome. With the Rochdale game being called off late, that left us with just the five games this week. They produced eleven 3 pointers, but they were well shared out, and the only member to get two was gsy163, the 1-0 wins for Man Utd and Rotherham, and with one outcome, he is this weeks top scorer with a decent 7 points. A special mention for thrillseeker for being the only one to get all five outcomes. Another week without a 1-1 result. That means it is now eight weeks and 55 games since we last had one. Week 26 will be a seven game week to make up for the Rochdale v Southend game being postponed. A reminder for the members in the quarter-finals of the Happy Cup, the fixtures take place this Saturday. All details can be found on the separate Happy Cup quarter-final thread. In the Premier Having the Rotherham 1-0 spot-on gives a welcome 3 pointer for noah4x4, but by getting all 5 outcomes thrillseeker remains at the top, by virtue of the most 3 pointer rule. A welcome 3 pointer for mfb_cufc as well with the Man Utd 1-0, helps him close the gap on the front two by a point. The top scoring effort for gsy163 keeps his good recent run going, and he has emerged as the most likely person to break into the Charity Shield spots. At the bottom a first 3 pointer in six weeks for Tropical_Us, thanks to the Man Utd 1-0, means avoiding the drop is becoming harder by the week for Sector4. In Division One It has already been well documented that we have a new leader, with TheHappyGooner taking over at the summit, thanks to having that late Rotherham winner spot-on. But it is only on the first to post rule from durham_exile, who had the Sheff Utd 2-1 spot-on, to keep him in the other automatic spot. The leader for the last nine weeks BFG drops to fourth, but still only two points off the top. After Week 20 concordman and Daniel had a 12 point play-off cushion back to the seventh. But no 3 pointers for both since then has allowed eagledares in that seventh spot to cut that deficit by half. THE TABLES (171 out of 280 played) (Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post) Week 25 Fixtures picked by this weeks guest wessex_exile. It is FA Cup 4th Round week, but these fixtures all come from the League.
