Thanks @JollyJohnny for running this brilliantly all season again.
See you in August.

[NorthwichSaddler]

Cheers JJ. The only reason I stopped is because I was away for a couple of weeks without Internet but I’ll definitely be back next season

I’m trembling that mutch I could hardly read it

Thanks to @JollyJohnny for organising this fantastic bit of fun. Congrats to everyone who took part. And well done @matt_saddlesore, whose copy skills know no bounds.

Once again, thanks to @JollyJohnny for organising this thing. I know it can be pain in the back
Safe mid table finish for me. Next year will be better.
And again, congrats to the @matt_saddlesore . I’m not calling it luck or copy/paste skill, but skill indeed.

Thanks @JollyJohnny for running this. I think that’s 2nd place for 2 seasons running…but at least I didn’t copy and paste!

[RedandWhite]

…and ■■■■ you already

@JollyJohnny

So here is the final table for 2018-19.

Sincere and effusive thanks to @JollyJohnny for another peerless and exemplary administration of the new format prediction league!

Thanks to all for your generous comments. It’s with a great deal of pleasure and unrestrained JOY that I gratefully accept the victory garland of the 13th annual UTS Prediction League.

Quite an amazing journey, which quickly became something of a triumphal procession following some quite bizarre (but predictable) results in my favour during a spectacularly successful 2019.

I would like to highlight the overwhelming belief in myself, for blossoming into the splendid glittering hero I always dreamed of. Occasionally noisy and massively annoying gurning ballsack, sometimes tragically misunderstood comedic genius, but always a relentless result machine and utterly ruthless in my predictable procurement of priceless prediction points.

I did it. What a bloody hero.

Here’s some amateur footage of me accepting various trophies, medallions and adulation from adoring well-wishers, while enthusiastic crowds freely salute my colossal magnificence as I wave on benevolently like a caring uncle.

While some misguided comrades have been suggesting that scurrilous ‘copying’ forms some small part of my success, allegations I may have been sponsored by Xerox next season are grossly exaggerated.

Thanks to all!

May you also suffer a stroke and be treated with leeches.

[Shrewsbury-Saddler]

Actually I foresee your demise as more like his;

What you haven’t realised is that the resistance has already started. last season a group of us got together to combat your parasitic behaviour. That group, me, Red & White, Sir Ray Graydon et al, posted deliberately woeful, unrealistic predictions to water down the effect of your riding on the most popular predictions. It failed, obviously, but I think it was a heroic failure. As more realise the way the wind blows, victory is inevitable. Your days are numbered , Little Nicolae.

[sirraygraydon]

Haha thanks

[RedandWhite]

Dam cheek of it eh @sirraygraydon …

[matt_saddlesore]

I think I’m correct in saying that there’s an outlandishly grotesque cash prize heading my way, further supplemented by gaining additional victories in various 10 game cycles.

Those leeches aren’t going to buy themselves.

@matt_saddlesore

You are correct, Matt … the administration and disbursement is being handled by an eminently trustworthy Nigerian gentleman - he will be e-mailing you in the near future.

[Shrewsbury-Saddler]

I can help.If Matt wants to PM me his banking details, I’ll be happy to pass them on for him.
