Matchday 29 & 30 Results: The promised post


See...I'm a man of my word.

Good Lord, is it a difficult job when it starts to back up - my new month's resolution (it exists... Google it....) is to never do that again (until next season at any rate)

Also to my utter chaos, numbers were a little down and we're missing out experts almost entirely (although that's not entirely my fault - for some reason Lawro only predicted half the fixtures one week...)

To the numbers:

Matchday 29 saw 11 people play
Most popular predicted result: Man Utd, Spurs & Liverpool WINS (10/11 or 91% concordance)
Most disputed result: Wigan vs WBA & Blackburn vs Sunderland (4-4-3 split)

Longest odds: Josh Daniels 4421/1
Shortest odds: Sam Ruback 717/1
Average odds: 2423/1

Best predictor: Yanik Joshi (6/9 - the Villa/Bolton game was called off)
Worst predictor: Me (2/9)
Average Score: 4/9

Best predicted result: Man Utd WIN (10/11)
Worst predicted result: QPR WIN (0/11)

No villain of the week, as I can't remember that far back

Matchday 30, 10 people played
Most popular predicted result: Arsenal & Man Utd WINS (10/10 or 100% concordance)
Most disputed result: Chelsea vs Spurs & Bolton vs Blackburn (5-3-2 and 3-5-2 split respectively)

Longest odds: Will O'Doherty 8154/1
Shortest odds: Sam Ruback 438/1
Average odds: 2876/1

Best predictor: Yanik Joshi, Doron Salomon, Will O'Doherty, Euro Club Index & WhoScored.com (6/10)
Worst predictor: Lawro (3/10)
Average Score: 5/10

Best predicted result:Arsenal & Man Utd WINS (10/10)
Worst predicted result: Wigan WIN (1/10 - congrats to Will O'Doherty)

Again, no villain of the week as I wasn't allowed to watch MOTD last week. :-(


Yanik was the big winner, whilst I'm probably the big loser.

The leaderboard, correct as of the end of Matchday 30:

Very little movement in terms of places, but Yanik breaks the 5.00 mark, and the midtable drop ever further away from the top 2. With only 8 weeks to go, at what point will the championship be claimed?

I'll do the results for this week's matches this week in a far shorter blog!

Have a great week guys
