After the three early kick-offs gave us a lightning start to the week, the seven later games failed to follow suit, as the week went downhill afterwards. Those three early Championship fixtures produced wins for Coventry, Ipswich and Stoke, with 16 spot-ons in total, and noah4x4 had them all spot-on, and then had a further four outcomes from the later fixtures, to make him the weeks top scorer with a fantastic 13 points. Five members did well to get two 3 pointers, with the best coming from concordman, who had the 1-0 wins for Ipswich and Stoke, Daniel, who got the Ipswich 1-0 and the Reading 1-1, ghuighrs11, who had the wins for Stoke and Oxford, and unitedwites, who got the Blackburn 2-1 and the Reading 1-1. They each also had two outcomes, to give them all an excellent 8 points. Finally wessex_exile, who got the Coventry 3-1 and the Reading 1-1, and one outcome, to give him a decent 7 points. Best of those to have one outcome was mfb_cufc, who got the Stoke 1-0 and five outcomes, to give him a useful 8 points.
The seasons 94 games have finished with 50 (53.19%) home wins, 28 (29.79%) away wins, and 16 (17.02%) draws. With over half the games ending in a win for the hosts, the season shouldn't have been a tough one overall, but even though the 1-0 has been the top result with 13, the clue is in the fact the second best for a home is the 3-0 and the 3-1 with 8 each. Those figures are astounding, because those two results have only averaged about 10 a season for the last 10 seasons. They are almost at that level with two thirds of the season still to go. The draw usually comes out with 1 in 4 games finishing that way, but that is currently running at 1 in 6, thanks to the 1-1 only on 7 for the season. The best result for an away has been the 1-2, after the 4 this week put on 8 for the season. These anomalies usually even out over a season, it will be interesting to see if it happens this season.
Happy Cup All the details for the 1st Round of this competition are on a separate thread, with the deadline Saturday 1st November 15.00.
In the Premier The lead changes again, as the excellent week for concordman moved him up a couple of places, and back to the summit he last occupied after Week 2. Last weeks leader thrillseeker has to settle for the other Charity Shield spot, desite having the Stoke 1-0 spot-on. After getting the Coventry 3-1 spot-on, Jorash63 moved up a place to third, but only on the first to post rule from Daniel, whose excellent week moved him up two places, to a season high fourth. Just the one outcome for Sector4, means he drops three to fifth. The excellent week for ghughes11 moved him up a place for the fifth week in a row, and into the top half for the first time this season. Three outcomes for bwildered means he drops two places, and back into the bottom half. The bottom five remains the same as last week, but the excellent weeks for unitedwhites and mfb_cufc has made the gap from 1st to 10th only 13 points.
In Division One The amazing run for noah4x4 continued in a big way this week, and his fantastic top scoring performance takes his lead to an incredible 26 points. Without looking, I am sure in my time of administrating nobody in either league has ever had such an advantage before after 13 weeks of the season. If the title is already looking like a forgone conclusion, that could not be said for the rest of the league, as there are only an astonishing 6 points separating 2nd to 10th. After having the Blackpool 2-1 spot-on Blue4U2 moved up a place into the other automatic spot. His highest position since Week 3 last season. Getting that good Salford 2-1 prediction moved BFG up a couple of places to third, as Tropical_Us goes two the other way to fourth. It could have been worse, as he is only ahead of basher2010 on the first to post rule. He is the big mover in this league, as he moved up three places to a season high fifth, after having the Stoke 1-0 spot-on. A solid week for durham_exile, that included getting the Coventry 3-1 spot-on, helped him to remain in the final play-off place. Status quo also for NME_cufc, as he remains seventh, by also having the Coventry 3-1 spot-on. Two outcomes for gerry_us means he drops four places, but still remains only 4 points behind second place. Decent weeks for oxfcolu and wessex_exile moves them both ever closer to the play-offs.
