Firstly, let's start by getting the admin out of the way. The Prediction League will continue over the Christmas and New Year periods. The fixtures for Week 18 will be posted tomorrow (Tuesday), covering games taking place between 22-24 December. The Week 19 Fixtures will be posted on Boxing Day (Tuesday), covering games taking place between Friday, 29th December and Monday, 1st January. If you are likely to have difficulty posting your predictions over the Christmas/New Year period, please inbox me so that I can try to make suitable arrangements. Finally, the Prediction Knock-Out Cup 1st Round will take place live online on Sunday, 31st December, at 1 pm, with ties taking place over the weekend of 6th/7th January. Right now, back to the normal stuff.
Week 17 proved to be a higher-scoring week, although Liverpool's failure to beat Manchester United floored about half of us (yep, me too). Shining more brightly than anyone else was
@Bill_Stumps, who scored a splendid 7 points, leaping into 3rd place in the Premier League behind
@thecat and
@Nicholas.
@LeeValliant and
@Seabros also sparkled in a Christmassy way by scoring 6 points, while
@addix,
@Bournemouth Addick,
@jakecafc,
@Killarahales,
@NorthheathAddick,
@Saulc23 and
@StrikerFirmani twinkled with a worthy 5 points. Prediction of the Week goes to
@Blackheathen, who evidently has more faith in Manchester United than many of the club's supporters.
There's a bonus this week! It's the Charlton Statbank, which reveals who predicts the Charlton score most and who is the most successful/unsuccessful. You will know who to trust when it comes to predicting Charlton games!
