Week 24 results
BURNLEY v LEICESTER CITY POSTPONED Due to Burnley players testing positive for Covid
NEWCASTLE UNITED 1 WATFORD 1
Joao Pedro's 88th minute equaliser kept Watford clear of the bottom three, after Newcastle had taken the lead with their only shot on target. Only 2 got this spot-on, and one more had the outcome. 22 predicted a win for Newcastle with 13 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
NORWICH CITY 2 EVERTON 1
Norwich rediscovered their scoring touch to end a six-game losing run, that failed to produce a goal. Well done to thrillseeker for being the only one to have this spot-on, and another 2 got the outcome.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 3 SOUTHAMPTON 1
Adama Traore scored his first goal of the season in injury time to end Southampton's late challenge and earn Wolves' third win in four Premier League games. Well done to Pinault_Noir for being the only one to get this spot-on, and a further 19 had the outcome.
MILLWALL 0 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1
Lewis Grabban's goal in the 91st minute secured a win for Forest. Only 2 had this spot-on, and another 11 got the outcome.
NORTHAMPTON TOWN 1 FOREST GREEN ROVERS 1
Mitch Pinnock scored with virtually the last kick of the game to rescue a dramatic point for Northampton. That late goal was good news for the 3 who got this spot-on, and the one who had the outcome.
PORT VALE 1 SWINDON TOWN 3
Swindon moved one point off the League Two automatic promotion places thanks to victory at 10-man Port Vale. Nobody had this spot-on, but 3 did get the outcome. 20 predicted a win for Vale.
Late goals have always played their part in changing the complexion of games over the years, and they made a big difference to this weeks games. Without them we would have had 19 spot-ons, and 54 outcomes. Quite respectable for a six game week. But with them we ended with just the 9 spot-ons and 37 outcomes, with all the 3 pointers being obtained by Division One members. With such a small return of 3 pointers three members did well to get two. They were bwildered, who had the draws at Newcastle and Northampton, and two outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a very decent 8 points. Also thrillseeker, who got the Forest 1-0 to go with his good Norwich 2-1, and medicine_man, who had the Forest 1-0 and the Northampton 1-1. They both got one outcome to give them a decent 7 points. The two 1-1's today has now made that the seasons top result with 21, two more than the next best 1-0.
Happy Cup The draw and fixtures for the semi-finals will be on a separate thread Sunday afternoon.
Happy Midweek League Cup The next round of games take place on Tuesday 1st February.
In the Premier If my memory serves me, this is the first time ever nobody in this division got a 3 pointer, in a week that contained at least six games. With so few points for anybody the top two TheFatGooner and RSCOSWORTH never had their positions under threat, In fact one outcome was enough to increase the advantage to the third by that one point. Two outcomes for unitedwhites moved him back to that third place, on the first to post rule from basher2010, who drops to the final Super Cup place. Two outcomes also for concordman, moves him up a couple of places to fifth. Three outcomes for Sector4, moved him up a couple of places as well. Two outcomes were enough to get sevebalo out of the bottom three, after spending just one week there. He is replaced by ghughes11, but he is only 3 points from fifth, as the relegation places remain realistically any 3 from 10, with things so tight.
In Division One With most of the Premier under threat of relegation, things are just as close in this league, when it comes to who is going to replace them automatically. The top spot changed hands this week for an incredible thirteenth time this season, when Pinault_Noir became the lastest incumbent, thanks to that good Wolves 3-1 prediction. Last weeks leader Lewis_1 has to settle for the other automatic place this week. Having the Northampton 1-1 spot-on moved Tropical_Us up a place to third. One outcome for wessex-exile, means he drops to fourth. Remaining fifth and sixth are blueeagle and gerry_us, as the top six has remained the same for the last ten weeks, but never in the same order. An impressive four outcomes for MrHappy2, with only late goals for Watford and Northampton stopping him from getting a full house, moved him up a place. The decent week for thrillseeker didn't improve his position, but more importantly moved a bit nearer to the play-offs. The decent week for medicine_man has renewed his hopes of a play-off finish. At the bottom bwildered equalled his best score, and greatly enhanced his chances of avoiding the wooden spoon in his first season.
