Week 1 results
LEEDS UNITED 3 PORTSMOUTH 3
Leeds get a 95th minute equaliser in this six goal thriller. Nobody got this spot-on, and only BFG had the outcome. Everyone else predicted a win for Leeds
OXFORD UNITED 2 NORWICH CITY 0
Oxford celebrated their return to Championship level for the first time since 1999 with a deserved victory. Again nobody had this spot-on, and only mfb_cufc got the outcome. 18 predicted a win for Norwich.
AFC WIMBLEDON 4 COLCHESTER UNITED 2
Wimbledon come from 2 goals down in 9 minutes to claim victory. Another game with no 3 pointer though 7 did have the outcome.
HARROGATE TOWN 0 BROMLEY 2
Bromley celebrate the first Football League game in their 132 year history with a victory. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, and only mfb_cufc got the outcome. 18 predicted a win for Harrogate.
PETERBOROUGH UNITED 0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 2
Huddersfield made a winning start to life in League One following relegation with an impressive win at last season’s defeated play-off finalists. Well done to basher2010 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and 4 more had the outcome. 14 predicted a win for Peterborough with 13 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
STOCKPORT COUNTY 2 CAMBRIDGE UNITED 0
Louie Barrie and Kyle Wootton were on target as Stockport marked their return to League One with a win. With Jayden Fevrier getting an assist for the second. A magnificent 7 had this spot-on, and a further 11 got the outcome.
Wow! Not the first week of the season we were looking for, with the first four games failing to have a 3 pointer, and only seven outcomes between them. It was left to Stockport to save the week from being a complete disaster, and their 2-0 win managed to obtain 32 of the weeks 49 total points. By getting that Stockport 2-0 spot-on, and the two outcomes mentioned above, they were enough to make mfb_cufc the weeks top scorer with those 5 points.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get any new members. With the number of regular new posters in the past year. I was hopeful there might be some interest. I thought they would have looked at a Happy League thread to see what it is all about. I was a bit complacent thinking some would join, but with numbers at their lowest for a long time, I will make more of an effort next season. After dropping out early last season, I was hopeful of GOSBTS returning again for this season, but it has not happened. We have also lost TheRams from last season, but he is hopefully going to return next season.
In the Premier The top scoring performance from mfb_cufc obviously puts him top. In second on the first to post rule is blueeagle, after he had the Stockport 2-0 spot-on, and the Wimbledon outcome. Third at this early stage is basher2010 with that good Huddersfield 2-0 prediction, and the Stockport outcome. The next three places, separated on the first to post rule, are thrillseeker, oxfcolu and ghughes11, who all got the Stockport 2-0 spot-on. They are followed by RSCOSWORTH, who had the Wimbledon and Stockport outcomes. Then the final three to get on the scoreboard, thanks to having the Stockpoort outcome, were burnsieespana, concordman and Daniel, again decided by the first to post rule. Not so lucky was unitedwhites, and he fires a blank. There was a no show. from Sector4, and I am hopeful of him being back for Week 2.
In Division One Leading the way, thanks to posting first, is bwildered, after he got the Stockport 2-0 spot-on, and the Huddersfield outcome. That means Tropical_Us takes up the other automatic place, as he had the Stockport 2-0 spot-on, and the Wimbledon outcome. An impressive four outcomes for BFG puts him in third place, losing out on the most 3 pointer rule. Two outcomes for Moor_Pinot and durham_exile were enough to put them both in a play-off place at this early stage. Thanks to posting first noah4x4 takes up the final play-off place, as he is one of the six to get one outcome in this league. He got the Stockport one along with Madeira163 and Colukev. It was the Wimbledon one for Jorash63 and Lewis_1, and the Huddersfield one for wessex_exile. That leaves us with gerry_us and Blue4U2 firing blanks.
THE TABLES (6 out of 280 played)
