NEWPORT COUNTY 1 CHELTENHAM TOWN 0
Newport need a point in their final game to seal a play-off place after edging leaders Cheltenham. 3 had this spot-on, and 3 also got the outcome. 14 predicted a win for Cheltenham with 10 going for a 1-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.

Once again thank you everyone for your very kind comments, they are all very much appreciated. It has been a tough season at times with Covid causing a number of games to be postponed. Fortunately I have more time these days to keep on top of things. I in turn would like thank you all for your participation, as I could count the total number of missed weeks on one hand, which must be some kind of record.

We went into the final week of the season with a number of issues still to be decided, In an afternoon of fluctuation fortunes, when just like last week, there was a number of late goals, the Premier title went one way then the other. In the end it was mfb_cufc who held onto the 3 point lead he held before play, and he wins his fourth Premier title. It is the one I am most proud of as I had to get my highest ever points total to do it, and the competition is the highest it has ever been in the Premier. In congratulating unitedwhites on winning Division One, that takes me in to the weeks most outstanding performance, as it came from him. On a week that was not easy to find 3 pointers, he incredibily had four, the wins for Swansea, Southend, Forest Green and Newport, and two outcomes to make him the weeks top scorer with an absolutely brilliant 14 points. Those 3 pointers gave him 39 for the season, and enabled him to equal the record number of them for a season. Two members did well to have three 3 pointers, they were wessex_exile, who had the wins for Sunderland and Southend with the Fleetwood 1-1, and Pinault_Noir, who got the wins for Swansea, Sunderland and Forest Green. They both also had three outcomes, to give them a brilliant 12 points each. Best of the rest was Daniel, who got the Huddersfield 1-1 and the Swansea 2-1 spot-on, and four outcomes to give him an excellent 10 points.

In the Premier Five outcomes were enough for mfb_cufc to maintain his 3 point lead, and give him the title, as basher2010 could only match his 5 points, that included having the Huddersfield 1-1 spot-on, and finish a very honourable second, in his first season in the Premier. Thanks to the 96th minute goal from Tranmere, Sector4 got the Forest Green 2-1 spot-on, that enabled him grab the final Charity Shied spot at the death. Very unfortunate for sevebalo, as he lead the division for 15 weeks at different times in the season, but had to settle for fourth in the end. The excellent week for Daniel moved him up a couple of places, to finish a repectable fifth, after spending a majority of the season in the bottom half. After spending most of the first 29 weeks in the bottom three RSCOSWORTH will be satisfied with a sixth place finish. After winning the last two titles noah4x4 did go top in Week 8, but for the most part the hat-trick was always just eluding him, and he finishes seventh. After his promotion Blue4U2 was never higher than fourth, but only in the bottom three twice, so a good season of consolidation for him in eighth. After spending most the season in the top half, and even 3 weeks at the top, TheFatGooner suddenly dropped into the bottom three in Week 29, and stayed there for four weeks, before a decent Week 33 saved him from the drop. Not so lucky was thrillseeker, who had a similar profile, and in fact lead for 8 weeks at certain times, and had the misfortune to only drop into the bottom three in Week 33, and a first relegation. Has to be one of the favourites for a quick return. In the bottom three since Week 11, gerry_us and Tropical_Us were both unfortunate the division was of such a high standard, and they have the ability to make a quick return. To show the strength of the league this season, in the 2015/16 season ethicsgirl won the title with 169 points, and in the last six seasons 165 points would have got you a top half finish.

In Division One The absolutely brilliant week from unitedwhites took him through to the magic 200 points, and equal the record for a number of 3 pointers in a season, to give him the title. This is the first time he has taken the lead this season, but certainly the right time. After leading since Week 10 concordman has to settle for the other automatic spot, and just fails to have a title double for the brothers. But that will add spice to the Premier next season competing against mfb_cufc. Two spot-ons for blueeagle, the 2-1 wins for Swansea and Forest Green, consolidated his third place for the second season running, and a play-off spot for the third season in a row. Up a place into fourth is BFG, as he makes the play-offs for the second time since his relegation four seasons ago. Early season leader ghughes11 is down to season low fifth place, but he still makes the play-offs for the first time. In the final play-off spot is durham_exile, who will be looking to make it third time in the play-offs, as one the Happy League's original members, looks to get back to the Premier. Even though he did spend 6 weeks in the top six, burnsieespana was always struggling to stay there, and just fell short in seventh. Cup winner Lewis_1 did have a couple of weeks in the top six, but spent most of the season no higher than eighth, and that is were he finished. He still has more chance of honours though, in the end of season Charity Shield. After spending the first 18 weeks of the season in the top six, wessex_exile had a disappointing second half to the season, but came back with a bang this week, and his brilliant performance showed he still has it to be involved at the top again next season. Playing catch-up is always hard in the Happy League as GOSBTS found out after his slow start. He had 3 pointers to match the top six, but always had too much to do making the play-offs. In what we have found is to be their last season, TheHappyGooner spent it all the bottom half, and mrhappy will be looking for big improvement next season, when he is back as an individual. Even though he did have 5 weeks in the top six early doors, oxfcolu spent the rest of the season in the bottom half. A brilliant final week from Pinault_Noir made sure he would avoid the wooden spoon. A regular in the play-offs in the past, and seventh last season, gsy163 would be disappointed to have been in the bottom half all season, and he will expect a big improvement next season. Unfortunately the wooden spoon goes to medicine_man. He has shown with his Cup exploits he is better than that.

Thank you for pointing out your total points, an outrageous typo, would have put you in the play-offs. Sorry about that. Has now been corrected.

Well that nearly blew up in my face!

I decided to go all out and go for the reverse of unitedwhites predictions as he/she was in the 2nd auto spot and so tactically I thought for any dropped points I would be able to capitalise.

unitedwhites gets the highest points of the week (possibly season) and I scrape the play-offs in the end with 1 measly point.

Good luck BFG and to blueeagle and Durham_exile in the other Play-off Semi Final.

Once again, thank you everyone for very kind comments.

It showed just how strong the Premier was this season, when two of the relegated members got a century of outcomes. I would be very surprised if anyone has managed that before, and been relegated. Very unlucky, but as you say it does show the importance of 3 pointers.
