It's a remarkable acheivement, and well deserved - they've led from the front for most of the season, initially scoring goals for fun and then tightening up at the back. They've only used about 12 players and every single prediction that the fun would start to fade was shrugged off as one by one the challengers failed to keep up.
As an Arsenal fan, I'm part-gutted, part-incredulous and part-relieved. As a football fan, I'm loving it. The 2 Leicester fans I know are still in disbelief. It's been coming for a long time, but there was always the fear that they'd fall at the last.
So...no caveats, no commentary, just congratulations to Leicester and let's see what happens in August.
We've a lot to get through this week, so, without Freddie Adu...

Matchday 35 (reduced to 7 games) - apologies for including the Crystal Palace match:
This week, 23people played
Most popular predicted results: Southampton & Spurs WINS (23/23)
Most disputed result: Bournemouth vs Chelsea (5-6-12 split)
Highest odds: Doron Salomon (41/1)
Lowest odds: Doron Salomon (41/1)

Worst predictors: A lot of people (3/7)
Average score: 3.65/7
Best predicted result: Southampton WIN (23/23)
Worst predicted result: Spurs vs WBA DRAW (0/23) - the one time everyone thought Spurs would do it, they Spurs'd it up. Must remember this for next season...
Note to everyone: from next season, where there are reduced fixtures, I'm going to times the result by whatever is needed to give a pro-rata score out of 10 as to not discriminate against those who participate in these weeks. I'd apply it now, but not a big fan of changing the rules halfway through a season.

A massive thank you to Josh & Steven Daniels for collecting the predictions of the various models (& Lawro) whilst I was away. Stan Collymore's blanks are because he sometimes doesn't predict. Think I'm going to drop him from next year. Too unreliable.
So, to everyone's results:
Series 1: M32, Series 2: M33 and so on...
And now to the leaderboard...
