Week 29 Results

BOURNEMOUTH 1 WOLVES 1

In a game of three dubious penalties, both teams score one and Bournemouth miss one. The 6 who got this spot-on will be pleased about that miss, and the 2 who had the outcome.

BRENTFORD 5 HULL 1
Said Benrahma starred with his first Brentford hat-trick as they came from behind to secure their sixth straight home victory in style. Nobody had this spot-on, but 20 did get the outcome, with 12 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.

MILLWALL 1 PRESTON 3
Preston scored three goals in the opening 27 minutes to extend their unbeaten run to eight games. Again nobody got this spot-on, though 11 did have the outcome.

READING 1 ROTHERHAM 1
Rotherham salvaged a late point against their fellow Championship strugglers. A massive 9 had this spot-on, and another 2 got the outcome.

PORTSMOUTH 0 BARNSLEY 0
Portsmouth miss a penalty to make it eight games without a win, as Barnsley extend their unbeaten run to fourteen games with this bore draw. Nobody got this spot-on, but 7 did have the outcome.

SWINDON 1 GRIMSBY 1
Grimsby came from behind with 10 men to force a draw. 5 had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome. There were 18 who predicted a win for Swindon.

An incredible week with late goals in the games at Bournemouth, Reading and Swindon giving us three one all draws for the third week running. They also gave us our only spot-ons this week, so it turned out to be a great decision by TheHappyGooner to go 1-1 all games, and they are this weeks top scorers with an excellent 10 points. Also benefiting from going 1-1 for five games is RSCOSWORTH, and though disappointed to miss out on the Swindon game, he will still be pleased with his decent 7 points. Also getting a decent 7 points was burnsieespana, that included having the draws at Reading and Swindon spot-on. Best of those who had one 3 pointer was gerry_us, who had the Bournemouth draw spot-on, to help him get a very good 6 points.

Firing blanks After Week 28 produced 4 blanks in a 10 game week, I thought it would be interesting to look back through my five seasons of administrating the Happy League to see if anybody, who was a member when I started, had avoided having a blank week in that time. Even though it was hard to identify a genuine blank from a missed week, it did show that nobody had avoided having one, and only mfb_cufc, thrillseeker, BFG and Blue4U2 had never had one in a 10 game week. Having said that getting one in a 10 game week is very rare, and the 4 last week was certainly unprecedented. One thing I did notice in the 2014/15 season was that mrhappy had 5 blanks in that season but still won the Premier title. I had a request from burnsieespana asking to show how many blanks members have had this season. Here are the results:-

Premier
gsy163............................5 (including 1 missed week)
noah4x4.........................3
eagledares .....................1
gerry_us.........................1
RSCOSWORTH................1
sevebalo.........................1
TheHappyGooner...........1
Tropical_Us ....................1
burnsieespana................0
mfb_cufc.........................0

ghughes11......................3
basher2010.....................2
Daniel ............................ 2
oxfcolu............................2

durham_exile..................1
TheFatGooner.................1
medicine_man................1
unitedwhites...................1
wessex_exile...................1
blueeagle........................0
Blue4U2..........................0
Sector4 ...........................0

Next week, on a more positive note, I will show how many double figure scores everybody has had in my time of administrating.

In the Premier By having the Swindon 1-1 spot-on, with a very rare draw prediction, noah4x4 has cut the sevebalo lead down to just 2 points. The decent week for RSCOSWORTH enabled him to close in on the top two, and a solid week for Tropical_us leaves him in a clear fourth place. As for the rest of the division, well they are now all involved in a relegation scrap after the good weeks for burnsieespana and TheHappyGooner has taken them up into the pack above them. As we go into final quarter of the season it couldn't be any closer to avoid those two relegation places with only 3 points separating 5th to 10th.

In Division One A quiet week in this league with nobody getting more than one 3 pointer, but with the Sector4 blind 2-1 picks only getting him 1 point, the pack took the chance to close in, and has suddenly left him vulnerable for an automatic spot. Reclaiming the other automatic spot is basher2010, but only on the most 3 pointer rule. There was little change in the rest of the league, with most significant one being unitedwhites moving back into a play-off place.

THE TABLES (210 out of 280 played)
(Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post)
