Chart Toppers

0
Stepping up to the mike this week and rapidly rising up the Predictorship chart are Ex-British Hit Singles & Albums David Roberts and James Bradley. Although both our rising stars haven't had the best of seasons, it was looking as if times were especially hard for David: he wrote his scores down on an old [. Click to continue reading...

Playing the tables in Las Vegas has obviously paid dividends this week for Casino Queen Janet Roberts as she rolls her Predictorship dice to break the house with 10 impressive points and a massive leap of 14 places up the table in another low scoring week.

Mantras and meditation

0
Is that a bad Moon rising or a flock of yogic fliers sailing over the hillside? Who can say, but the mystic east must be having some affect on the Collins clan (Sally Moon and John Collins) who both rack up top scores of 9 points after their relocation to India for the winter.

Triple top

0
Scoring with the accuracy of a fat man with a barrel of bitter, Chris Butters, Roger Taylor and Pete Yoder show their true colours and sit together propping up the bar at the top of the Predictorship this week with 58 points a piece. But passions are stirring in the corner, with high-roller Nick Watson [. Click to continue reading...

Pete Yoder cowers in the corner of the Predictorship saloon as gun-toting Roger Taylor blasts his way past to the top of the pile. No time for a novice? Roger doesn't think so, and with his 10 point scoring frenzy I'm in no mood to argue. But there's dust flying up in the street outside [...] Click to continue reading...

Backing Butters

Now the conference season is well under way Chris Butters steps up to the podium once more to take a shaky lead in this week's Predictorship battle for the premiership title. Meanwhile, Pete Yoder is campaigning in the wings and shows his colours, reaching an all time high position as he eyes up Chris's shoes [. Click to continue reading...

The Great Pretender

0
Roger Taylor is this weeks' ‘Great Pretender', putting the early leaders, Chris Butters and Dave Taylor, ‘Under Pressure' to coast past into the lead and ‘Break Free' at the top of the table. It's a ‘Kind of Magic', surely? And there must be some necromancy going on in the woods elsewhere with the spookily clairvoyant Rob [. Click to continue reading...

Peter’s perfect picks

0
Is it Peter Piper, is it Peter Perfect? No, it's Pete ‘the picker' Yoder. Pete storms up the table this week faster than a disqualified Maclaren with a massive 10 point score slick enough to get Penelope Pitstop touching up her lipstick and pouting into the rear view.

Stormin’ Norma

The depression was more than atmospheric this week, with the average score faltering a paltry 3.47 and a top score staggering to an unimpressive 6! As hurricane Gustav strikes Louisiana, Predictorship towers is just recovering from the turmoil of disastrous results. So turbulent was the scoring that among the few predictors cooking up a storm was [. Click to continue reading...

Butters’ Side Up

0
Streaking ahead with gravity-defying form this week is ‘former Predictorship cup-winner' Chris Butters. With an incredible four correct scores this weekend it looks like it's going to take more than a little ‘smart-arsed, stat-fuelled clairvoyancy', as predictor Nick Watson puts it, to make a bid for glory this year.

On the very same weekend the legendary Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons stormed into the UK Top 40 with a greatest hits collection entitled Jersey's Best, a man fitting that very description was busy wrapping up his second Predictorship title. Congratulations to Jersey United's Mike Dufficy, who wears the 2007-08 Predictorship crown with 293 [. Click to continue reading...

The Predictorship: Week 40 – League Reaches Predicted Anti-Climax

0
The irrepressible Mike Dufficy stands on the brink of Predictorship immortality. In the 40th and penultimate week of the season, Mike has a 10-point lead over Dave Taylor. As any mathematician worth his salt will tell you, it means the Channel Islander needs 11 points to secure his second league title in three seasons, and that's [. Click to continue reading...

The Predictorship: Week 39 – Nine Flew Over the Eagle’s Nest

Thirty-nine players, 168 points, five draws, 36 goals. Don't bother working out the average score. It was surely the worst week of scoring in the history of The Predictorship, and a handful of predictors are thanking their lucky stars that Sunderland and Arsenal chalked up wins to save them from the embarrassment of all embarrassments [.

Earlier in the season it was ‘Rob' week in The Predictorship. Now we celebrate ‘Steve' week as Messrs Dunlop and McHugh each fire in a round dozen. By his own admission, Steven Dunlop had a miserable week before his Predictorship pick-me-up. He watched with jaw-dropping dismay as his beloved Benfica lost by the odd goal or [.

Alex Iskandar Liew's Tricky Trees (if you can't see the wood for the trees, it's a reference to the mighty Nottingham Forest) are the first team to book a date at the brand spanking new Wembley following a tense 7-6 win over Hope Arnold's Everton in the Predictorship Cup semi-finals.

Things are getting fractious in The Predictorship. The red mist descended on three players over the weekend as the pressure intensifies with just a few nerve-jangling weeks of the season left.

Don't let my feeble, headline-grabbing attempt to illustrate the slurred speech of an inebriated predictor hide the bare facts: Steven Dunlop deserves a medal for hitting the top score this week, 11, while coming to terms with a booze-induced hangover in Lisbon. Miraculoush! A bleary-eyed Steven, evidently, understandably and forgivably drowning his sorrows after Benfica's sorry [. Click to continue reading...

Reading Reserves' Rob Molloy is on a roll, and we're not talking cheese and pickle.

The Predictorship: Week 30 - “I Was Robbed, Twice” - Hope Arnold

It's a good week to be called Rob. Messrs Dimery and Molloy each deliver 10 points to deny the fast improving Hope Arnold a second consecutive top-scoring week all of her own. All three leading lights are blessed with three correct scores, the highly predictable Wigan 2 Derby 0 being the common thread, but their accuracy [. Click to continue reading...

The Bristol Rovers, Chelsea and Preston games were Hope's salvation, where she picked up six points for three correct scores, resulting in progress up the league, where she currently [.

Seattle Gooners' Maziar Sattari and FC Squan 1980's Patrick Bevilacqua chalk up average-busting totals (11 and 10 respectively), but far too many predictors are left licking their wounds after a horrid weekend.
