Matchday 23 results: Not a bad midweek (objectively)


A week can seem a very long time without football, especially when you're in a downer. having missed the 2nd half of the comeback against Villa, my last experiences of football were not positive!

Thankfully, midweek games offered a chance to get some good vibes going - and all the more so when I got 4/5 on Tuesday night - only 1 City equalising goal away from a perfect start. Will O'Doherty and Joe Miller share my pain. Wednesday wasn't quite as good for me, but Andrew Feneley got all 5 spot on for a perfect night.

All in all, an average score of 4.53 isn't too shabby considering there were some unusual results, and having to take into account any last minute transfer such as the Lord of the Manor of Frodsham (QPR's no. 23).

The short turnaround time is a bit of a bugger tho. Apologies for the short notice!

Full breakdown below:

This week, 15 people played
Most popular predicted results: Spurs & Sunderland WINS (14/15 or 93% concordance)

Everone's scores:

To the leaderboard:

Joe stays at the top, and Yanik in 2nd place, although he's pretty much dropped his title challenge for now. Lawro drops quite a bit and otherwise, nothing too exciting. Someone needs to go on a little run to challenge Joe methinks!
