Blue4U2 2 bwildered 4
Having both the outcomes, and the two Junior goals, gives bwildered
a decent lead. Two good goalscorer points, with Sane and Kane, keeps Blue4U2 in touch, but he may require a spot-on from the last two fixtures, if he is to go through.
blueeagle 1 burnsieespana 2
They both got a point for the Kane goal, but it is burnsieespana who has a slight advantage thanks to getting the Borussia outcome.
Semi-finals 2nd leg Fixtures Both kick-off at 20.00
Tuesday 7th May
PARIS SAINT GERMAIN v BORUSSIA DORTMUND
(Agg 0-1)
Wednesday 8th May
REAL MADRID v BAYERN MUNICH
(Agg 2-2)
The scoring Keeping with the format for this stage of the competition, in addition to score predictions, please predict two goal-scorers from each game as well, these can of course be two from the same side. Four points, to put more emphasis, for a spot-on score prediction, one point for the correct outcome, and one point for each goal scored (including own goals) by either of your nominated goal-scorers. As there is an advantage posting first regarding goal scorers, the member posting second can have up to two predictions the same.
Tie-break If competitors can't be separated by number of spot-ons, for a tie-break please also predict the minute of the first substitution in the Real Madrid v Bayern Munich fixture. Your tie-break prediction must be made before that match kicks off.
As always, half-time subs are 46th minute, and injury-time substitutions will be either 45 or 90 minutes. If there are no substitutions at all, closest to zero will win
Score, goal-scorer and substitute tie-break predictions will be for the end of normal time, extra-time and/or penalties will not count.
Good luck everybody.

Blue4U2 2 bwildered 3
It looked like being the perfect start for Blue4U2, as he had Bayern to win 2-1, and Sane and Kane to score, but it alll changed with the Real Madrid equaliser, and it is bwildered who takes an early advantage by having the Bayern outcome, and two points for Junior's two goals.
blueeagle 1 burnsieespana 1
A point each for having Kane as a goalscorer.

I would say the five are Greenidge, Smith, Mitchell, Kazeem and Cooper. I would add Edwards to that list if he has not been injured for the last four months. |

Semi-finals results
WEST HAM UNITED 2 LIVERPOOL 2
Liverpool's Premier League title hopes seem all but over after ex-U's loanee Michail Antonio scored to rescue a point for West Ham. No points for anyone from this game.
MANCHESTER UNITED 1 BURNLEY 1
Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana cost his side victory as Zeki Amdouni converted a late penalty to grab a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley. Well done to Daniel for being the only one to have this spot-on, and only BFG got the outcone.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 2 LUTON TOWN 1
Wolves ended a six-game winless run in the Premier League and piled pressure on relegation-threatened Luton with this victory. 3 got this spot-on, and a further 4 had the outcome.
HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 1 BIRMINGHAM CITY 1
Huddersfield were all but relegated from the Championship despite a battling draw against fellow strugglers Birmingham, whose own status now depends on results going their way in the final round of fixtures. 3 had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome.
MILLWALL 1 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 0
Millwall struck late to secure a narrow win over Plymouth, piling pressure on The Pilgrims at the bottom of the Championship. Everyone predicted a win for Millwall, with 3 getting it spot-on.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 3 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 0
Wednesday maintained their push to avoid Championship relegation with a thumping victory over West Brom. Nobody had this spot-on, but 2 did get the outcome.
EXETER CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 2
Oxford secured a League One play-off place with this narrow victory. 4 got this spot-on, and one more had the outcome.
LINCOLN CITY 0 PORTSMOUTH 2
Lincoln missed out on the League One play-off spots as they lose to Champions Portsmouth in the final game of the season. Well done to basher2010 for being the only one to have this spot-on, and another 3 got the outcome.
READING 3 BLACKPOOL 2
Blackpool's League One play-off hopes were left in tatters by Reading, who finished a miserable campaign off the field with an on-field high. No points for anybody from this game.
WREXHAM 2 STOCKPOORT COUNTY 1
Wrexham toasted promotion to League One, as they came from behind to beat League Two champions Stockport. Well done to concordman for being the only one to have this spot-on, and only Daniel got the outcome.
Some great performances today, that produced a very good 16 spot-ons in total, as certain members showed just why they are in these end of season Semi-finals. This is how those Semi-finals finished:-
Charity Shield Semi-finals
concordman 11 (3) durham_exile 5 (1)
A comfortable win for concordman, after he got the wins for Millwall, Oxford and Wrexham spot-on. Just the Oxford 2-1 spot-on for durham_exile in reply.
RSCOSWORTH 11 (3) Daniel 12 (3)
Wow, what a game, that didn't deserve to have a loser. But it is RSCOSWORTH who unfortunately has to lose, despite having three 3 pointers, the wins for Wolves and Oxford, and the Huddersfield 1-1. Three 3 pointers also for Daniel, the wins for Wolves and Millwall, and the Man utd 1-1, and getting the Wrexham outcome proved to be the defining outcome, to put him into the final.
Division One play-off Semi-finals
basher2010 10 (3) Tropical_Us 5 (1)
A comfortable win for basher2010, who was another one to get three 3 pointers, the wins for Wolves, Millwall and Portsmouth. Just a 3 pointer for the Huddersfield 1-1 for Tropical_Us in reply.
bwildered 8 (2) BFG 3
A comfortable win for bwildered, after he had the Huddersfield 1-1 and the Oxford 2-1 spot-on. Only three outcomes for BFG.
That makes to the two finals as being:-
Charity Shield final
concordman v Daniel
Division One Play-off final
basher2010 v bwildered
For these finals, there will be a replay for any drawn games. It will be the Premier League fixtures on 11/12/13 May. The tie-breaker rules will only apply for any replay if needed. No more than four predictions the same as your opponent, and all 10 games to be posted at the same time please.

We are still a very generous 25/1 to be relegated. With us and Crewe both only needing a draw, backing a bore draw at 7/1 could be interesting. |

BAYERN MUNICH 1 ARSENAL 0
(Agg 3-2)
MANCHESTER CITY 1 REAL MADRID 1
(Agg 4-4 AET) Real Madrid won 4-3 on penalties.
A tough lot of results to predict, and there were only two, what turned out to be, significant 3 pointers. They were for blueeagle, who got the Atletico 2-1, and Blue4U2, who had the Bayern 1-0, in Group A. With Group B being decided on outcomes, this is how they finished:-
THE GROUPS (8 out of 8 played)
(Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the number of goals scored in the League 2 programme on Saturday 20th April)
The tie-break was won by Blue4U2 to finish top.
That makes the draw for the Semi-finals as:-
Blue4U2 v bwildered
blueeagle v burnsieespana

Week 38 results
LUTON TOWN 1 BRENTFORD 5
Yoane Wissa scored twice as Brentford made easy work of Luton to pull 10 points clear of the relegation zone. Nobody got this spot-on, but 10 did have the outcome.
SHEFFIELD UNITED 1 BURNLEY 4
Burnley gave their Premier League survival hopes a huge boost with a vital victory to push bottom side United further towards relegation. Again nobody had this spot-on, though 11 did get the outcome.
CARDIFF CITY 2 SOUTHAMPTON 1
Cardiff get a 96th minute winner, as they came from behind to put a huge dent in Southampton's automatic promotion hopes. Yet again nobody got this spot-on, and only unitedwhites and burnsieespana had the outcome. 23 predicted a win for Southampton.
STOKE CITY 3 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 0
Stoke all but secured their Championship safety with a comfortable win against Plymouth, who remain in a relegation battle. Another game with no 3 pointer, but 16 did have the outcome.
BLACKPOOL 3 BARNSLEY 2
Blackpool kept their play-off hopes alive with a win over their fellow promotion chasers. Again no 3 pointer from this game, though 17 did have the outcome.
BURTON ALBION 3 READING 2
Buton secured a first win on home soil in nine attempts, that could be a crucial three points in their fight against relegation. Yet another game with no 3 pointer, but 6 did get the outcome.
DONCASTER ROVERS 4 BARROW 2
Doncaster roared back from two goals down to beat their play-off rivals and secure a ninth successive win. Another game with no 3 pointer, though 22 did have the outcome, with 11 going for a 2-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
GRIMSBY TOWN 2 SWINDON TOWN 0
Grimsby secured League Two survival with this victory, as Swindon fail to have a shot on target. Well done to gerry_us for being the only one to have this spot-on, and a further 12 got the outcome.
NOTTS COUNTY 1 COLCHESTER UNITED 0
Macaulay Langstaff's 28th league goal of the season means Colchester are still not safe. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, but 6 did have the outcome.
SUTTON UNITED 2 CRAWLEY TOWN 2
Sutton's League Two survival hopes were left hanging by a thread after being denied a priceless win by a 91st minute Crawley equaliser. Only burnsieespana and BFG had this spot-on, and another 10 got the outcome.
We went into the final week of the season with some issues still to be decided, especially in the Division One promotion. It turned out to be a week where the results were more in line to the FA Cup, where 3 pointers in the Happy Cup are as rare as hens teeth. Without checking back through the records, I think the 40 goals scored must be some sort of record for a 10 game league week, as are only 3 spot-ons. Those 3 pointers were shared out, with the best performance coming from gerry_us, who had six outcomes, to go with the good Grimsby 2-0 prediction, to make him the weeks top scorer with an excellent 9 points.
In the Premier It is congratulations to concordman on winning his second title in the last three seasons. He went top in Week 2, and that is where he stayed for the rest of the season. A strong second-half to the season, secured RSCOSWORTH his highest ever finish in second, and gives him another go at honours in the Charity Shield. A best ever finish also for blueeagle in third. Another consistent season for thrillseeker, where he was the only other one to lead the table in Week 1, and finishes fourth. After a slow start to the season unitedwhites and mfb_cufc both recovered to spend a number of weeks in second, and then fell away to finish fifth and sixth. After fighting relegation in the first-half of the season, Sector4 had a good run of form to move up to third, but had to settle for a seventh place in the end. A satisfactory first season in the Premier for oxfcolu, where he flirted with relegation at times, but avoided it safely in eighth. A good first-half to the season for ghughes11, but then dropped away to finish ninth, without ever looking like being relegated. Nobody has been relegated after getting a century of outcomes, until noah4x4 this season, when it was a lack of 3 pointers that did it for him. He has won the Division One title twice before, so will be confident of a quick return. He is joined in Division One by Moor_Pinot, who makes an instant return after promotion the previous season.
In Division One It is congratualations to Daniel on winning the title, and making an instant return to the Premier, after his relegation the previous season. He is joined by burnsieespana, after his incredible end to the season, that saw him rise from ninth after Week 31, to take the other automatic spot. After spending many week in the top two, basher2010 finished third. After moving into the play-offs in Week 22, bwildered stayed in them for the rest of the season, and finished fourth. After leading the table for the first five weeks, BFG dropped away, and then a good end to the season got him in the play-offs to finish fifth. In the final play-off spot is Tropical_Us, who spent the whole season in and out of the top six, but finished in it when it mattered. Just losing out on the most 3 pointer rule was Blue4U2, but he still has a chance of honours in the U'sual Champions League. A decent return to the Happy League for Colukev, where he spent some weeks in the top six, but finished eighth in the end. After a slow start to the season, a good second-half looked to have secured a play-off spot for [bLewis_1, but a poor last few weeks means he finishes ninth. After trying to avoid the wooden spoon for most of the season, a good end to the season moved Madeira163 up to finish tenth. Another to be challenging for the wooden spoon was gerry_us, but that excellent final week moved him up three places to finish eleventh. After a slow start to his first season Jorash63 recovered to still be second after Week 25, but then went into free fall to finish twelfth. A reasonable start to the season for wessex_exile, that saw him top after Week 9, was as good as it got, and he fell away to finish thirteenth. He spent most of the season trying to avoid the wooden spoon, and durham_exile did just that by finishing fourteenth. A real roller coaster first season for TheRams, that started real slow, but recoverd to such an extent, that he was second after Week 16, and then he went into free fall to finish with the wooden spoon.
