Week 25 results
ARSENAL 5 CRYSTAL PALACE 0
Arsenal reignited their Premier League title challenge by thrashing struggling Palace. Everyone predicted a win for Arsenal, but not surprisingly nobody got it spot-on. 13 predicted them to win 2-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 3 CARDIFF CITY 1
Ryan Hardie scored twice as Plymouth came from behind to deservedly beat Cardiff, and give new boss Ian Foster his first league win. Nobody had this spot-on, but 14 did get the outcome.
STOKE CITY 1 BIRMINGHAM CITY 2
Jay Stansfield's strike and a stunning Juninho Bacuna free-kick earned Tony Mowbray his second victory in a three-match unbeaten start as Birmingham manager and inflicted a first defeat in six games for new Stoke boss Steven Schumacher. Well done to Jorash63 for being the only to get this spot-on, and only BFG had the outcome. 18 predicted a win for Stoke.
LEYTON ORIENT 1 BOLTON WANDERERS 0
Dan Agyei netted the only goal of the game to give Orient a victory, as they make it five successive matches without conceding a goal, and end Bolton's four-match winning run. Only unitedwhites and Madeira163 had this spot-on, and another 4 got the outcome. 19 predicted a win for Bolton.
OXFORD UNITED v NORTHAMPTON TOWN POSTPONED Frozen pitch
STEVENAGE v BARNSLEY POSTPONED Frozen pitch
AFC WIMBLEDON v CRAWLEY TOWN POSTPONED Frozen pitch
BARROW 1 CREWE ALEXANDRA 3
Youngsters Lewis Billington and Matus Holicek scored their first senior goals to earn Crewe victory, and end Barrow's unbeaten home record. Nobody got this spot-on, though 5 did have the outcome. 17 predicted a win for Barrow.
GILLINGHAM 1 FOREST GREEN ROVERS 1
Forest Green ended a turbulent week with a draw at Gillingham to move off the bottom of the table. 4 had this spot-on, and one more got the outcome. 20 predicted a win for Gillingham.
NOTTS COUNTY v STOCKPORT COUNTY POSTPONED Frozen pitch
With global warming having a week off, and the ice age taking its place, we lost four fixtures due to frozen pitches, and the six games left produced the worst week of the season so far. At least the Arsenal outcomes saved five members from firing blanks. The total seven 3 pointers were shared out with seven members getting one each, and the best came from Sector4 and Lewis_1, who each had the Gillingham 1-1, and three outcomes, to give them both a share of being the weeks top scorer, with a decent 6 points.
Week 26 will now be an 11 game one, to make up for the abandoned match in Week 24, and the 4 postponed fixtures in Week 25.
Happy Cup The draw for the Semi-finals has been made, and the fixtures are ready for predicting, with the deadline Friday 26th January 19.45.
In the Premier Not a lot to report from this division, with seven members only managing to get two outcomes, including the top two. That means concordman maintains his 9 point lead over mfb_cufc. Three outcomes for thrillseeker moved him up a place to third, in what was the only change this week, but that was only on the first to post rule from blueeagle. At the bottom, a welcome 3 pointer for Moor_Pinot, the Gillingham 1-1, helped to move him 2 points nearer to safety.
In Division One Three outcomes were enough for Daniel to remain top, but his lead was reduced to 4 points, after a solid week from Jorash63. A solid week also for basher2010, that included having the Gillingham 1-1 spot-on, moved him up a place to third. Only two outcomes for bwildered, and he drops a place to fourth. The top scoring performance from Lewis_1 continued his good recent form, and he moves up another couple of places to fifth. His highest position since Week 3. Three outcomes for burnsieespana enabled him to remain in the final play-off spot. The only other change in this league had BFG moving up a place. Having that Orient 1-0 spot-on was not quite enough to take Madeira163 off the bottom.
