Week 17 scores...


AM - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts

RC - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts


OT - 4 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 10 pts


JL - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

PD - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

SC - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts


EP - Played a Maxxi = 5pts


?? - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

DR - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

MM - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

Mx - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts

RD - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts


LG - 0 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 0 pts



Note: If two teams are tied on the same number of points in the league, the team with the highest participation % will finish higher, eg JL & AM.


I will make a decision about the FA Cup competition and it's format this afternoon...

What this week shows perfectly, reading the right hand column, is that it is the correct results that mean everything. It's good fun though, am not complaining. (just didn't happen to get any correct scores this week :( )

The FA Cup Predictor Cup:


Ok, there wasn't a massive amount of feedback on what format it should take, but the majority consensus was that it should be kept separate from the League. So we will.

As some have indicated that they might not even participate, I think we need to be flexible. I'm therefore proposing an initial league which will eventually become a straight knock-out competition. It will depend on how many participate as to when this happens, hence the need for flexibility. The aim is to have the top 8 teams go into the knock-out stage at the QF stage of the FA Cup. I will draw teams out to play each other...Fluffy and Hardface, next door's cats, will act as independent assessors (Woodrot permitting). If turnout is below 8, the competition will be binned.

To encourage turnout I've picked out the 10 most 'interesting' ties, keeping with the spirit of the competition of potential cup shocks...yes I know, Arsenal to beat Swansea is a bit far fetched, but stranger things happen at sea.


So, here goes...


Brighton V Newcastle

Bolton V Sunderland

Crawley V Reading

Crystal Palace V Stoke

Luton V Wolves

Macclesfield V Cardiff

Peterborough V Norwich


Swansea V Arsenal

Mansfield V Liverpool


Cheltenham V Everton

Surely as the initial rule stated a minimum of 75% participation was required for it to count, then if two 'teams' are tied, the one with the lower number of entries has the better average and thus should finish higher?

It'll be a cracking atmosphere with a big away support, but I think you'll nick it...

Not many home bankers there RD - or ARE there?


Brighton 1 V Newcastle 1

Bolton 1 V Sunderland 2

Crawley 0 V Reading 2

Crystal Palace 0 V Stoke 1

Luton 1 V Wolves 2

Macclesfield 0 V Cardiff 3

Peterborough 0 V Norwich 2


Swansea 2 V Arsenal 2

Mansfield 1 V Liverpool 4


Cheltenham 0 V Everton 3



@AM - the one with the lower participation %age has benefitted from more 'maxxi's which, as form has shown, are on the generous side at 5pts ea. so I think RD's right.

Average scores can be misleading, I therefore think credit should be given to those who have participated more.

I was surprised that LadyGooner went for only 4 predictions last week, because unless she got a a correct score she was never going to beat a maxxi. So if she finished level with someone who had played more maxxi's, I think she deserves to finish higher on that basis alone...

I'm being serious, honest!

History says Fergie will rest a lot of players and play younger/inexperienced, whereas because of injuries and relative mid-table security, Big Sam can afford to go for it with a strong team...I'm happy to be proved wrong though ;-)

History says BFS don't hold much of a torch to this competition...the cynical bit in me thinks that he'd be ok if we go out to Utd, as that's excusable, and concentrate on mid-table safety. Will be a decent old school atmosphere as always tho and probably a decent game. 1-3 :(

      Great news! Peckham Rye station to reclaim its public square by next year!

      By rollflick · Posted

      A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

      It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

      I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
