Happy League 2025/26 Week 28 (of 38) - Deadline Saturday 7th February 12.31

Week 27 results

MILLWALL 1 SHEFFIELD UNITED 1

Sheffield United recorded just their third Championship draw of the season as they shared the spoils with high-flying Millwall in an entertaining end-to-end encounter. Well done to RSCOSWORTH for being the only to get this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome. 20 predicted a win for Millwall.

PORTSMOUTH 3 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 0
Improving Portsmouth stretched their unbeaten run to four games in an emphatic victory over woeful fellow Championship strugglers West Brom, who only had the one shot on target. Nobody had this spot-on, but 13 did get the outcome.

PETERBOROUGH UNITED 2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 3
Huddersfield blew a two-goal advantage late on only for Cameron Humphreys to restore their lead with what proved to be an 89th-minute winner. Nobody got this spot-on, though 4 did have the outcome (all going 1-2). 16 predicted a win for Peterborough with 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.

STOCKPORT COUNTY 2 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 1
Kyle Wootton scored a brace as high-flying Stockport came from behind to beat Plymouth. A super 6 had this spot-on, and a further 14 got the outcome.

GILLINGHAM 1 BROMLEY 4
A Ben Thompson hat-trick ensured Bromley extended their lead at the top of League Two to six points following this dominant victory. Another game with no 3 pointer, but 10 did have the outcome.

OLDHAM ATHLETIC 0 CAMBRIDGE UNITED 3
Cambridge extended their unbeaten run to 14 games with a comfortable win, after scoring three goals in a stunning second-half performance. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, though 13 did get the outcome.

Another week to be filed under disappointing. In fact I have never known a season where there has been so many results impossible to predict for a 3 pointer. We had four more of them this week, and it was only Stockport getting a 85th minute winner that at least gave half a dozen members a spot-on. It was two of those who are this weeks top scorers. They are concordman and ghughes11, who each also had four outcomes, to give them both a decent 7 points. With them only missing out on a full house by failing to get the Millwall 1-1.

Happy Cup The details for the Semi-finals of this competition will be on a separate thread sometime tomorrow (Sunday).

In the Premier This could be the defining week of the season for this division, as concordman took advantage of a low scoring week, by posting a top score, and extending his lead to a very healthy 14 points. Just outcomes for Sector4 and Jorash63, and they remain second and third. The top scoring performance from ghughes11 moved him up a couple of places to fourth, and a season high position. Four outcomes could not stop blueeagle dropping a place to fifth. Going 1-1 all games proved to be justified for RSCOSWORTH as a 3 pointer moved him up a couple of places to sixth, and into the top half for the first time this season. A very rare missed week for thrillseeker drops him into the bottom half for the first time this season. The only change in the rest of the division has Daniel moving up a place after having the Stockport 2-1 spot-on.

In Division One After Week 17 noah4x4 had 20 spot-ons, and was well on course to break the record for 3 pointers in a season. But due to all these weeks of hard to predict results, he has only managed 4 more in the last 10 weeks. This leaves him needing 16 in 96 games. A tall order, but not impossible. Records are always nice, though I am sure just getting promoted is his main aim, and that is looking more like a formality by each passing week. Another four outcomes this week maintained his 25 point lead, as durham_exile replied with 4 points, after getting the Stockport 2-1 spot-on. Just one outcome was enough for Tropical_Us to remain third. A solid week for basher2010, that included having the Stockport 2-1 spot-on, moved him up three places to fourth, to equal his highest position this season, last achieved in Week 15. Outcomes for BFG, Blue4U2, and oxfcolu means they all drop a place to fifth, sixth and seventh. Three outcomes for gerry_us, as he remains eighth, though only 3 points from third, as there is all to play for in the play-offs.

THE TABLES (194 out of 280 played)
(Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post)

Week 26 results

BURNLEY 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2

Cristian Romero rescued a point for Spurs with a 90th minute equaliser just as under-pressure head coach Thomas Frank faced further embarrassment. Well done to oxfcolu for being the only one to get this spot-on, and only unitedwhites and Tropical_Us had the outcome. 17 predicted a win for Spurs.

BLACKBURN ROVERS 1 WATFORD 1
Championship strugglers Blackburn fought back to earn a point against Watford, who lost ground on the Championship play-off places. 4 had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome.

HULL CITY 2 SWANSEA CITY 1
Hull's fine form continued as they held off a spirited Swansea side to claim an entertaining victory. A great 8 got this spot-on, and a further 11 had the outcome.

LEICESTER CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 2
Ailing Oxford boosted their Championship survival hopes with a clinical and fully deserved win over an abject Leicester. No points for anyone from this game, with everyone predicting a win for Leicester, and 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.

DONCASTER ROVERS 3 WIGAN ATHLETIC 3
28 shots with 9 on target, but Doncaster somehow manage to blow a 3 goal lead, with ex-U's loanee Joe Taylor starting the Wigan fightback with their first goal. Nobody got this spot-on, but 4 did have the outcome (all going 1-1).

PORT VALE 1 EXETER CITY 3
Exeter extended their unbeaten run in League One to five matches with this win over bottom side Port Vale. Again nobody had this spot-on, though 12 did get the outcome.

STEVENAGE 1 MANSFIELD TOWN 1
Chem Campbell got a 96th minute equaliser for Stevenage to deny Mansfield another victory. A sublime 5 got this spot-on, and one more had the outcome.

MILTON KEYNES DONS 5 SHREWSBURY TOWN 1
Callum Paterson scored a hat-trick to help MK Dons record an emphatic victory. Another game with no 3 pointer, but 23 did get the outcome.

WALSALL 0 ACCRINGTON STANLEY 0
Promotion-chasing Walsall slipped two places to fifth in League Two as they were held to a scrappy bore-draw. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, and only unitedwhites had the outcome. The other 23 predicted a win for Walsall.

After last weeks bonanza, it was disappointing we couldn't follow it up with another one this week, as it proved to be another tough one, with five games failing to have a 3 pointer. At least the other four did produce 18 spot-ons in total, but with five games ending in draws, that was not good news for those who don't back games to end level. unitedwhites did fancy this weeks fixtures to produce a number of draws, by going for five to end that way, and he got his reward by having the ones at Blackburn and Stevenage spot-on, and the outcomes for Burnley and Walsall. He also had the Hull and Exeter outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with an excellent 10 points. Three more members did well to get two 3 pointers, they were blueeagle who had the Blackburn 1-1 and the Hull 2-1, and two outcomes to give him a decent 8 points. Also RSCOSWORTH, who got the Hull 2-1 and the Stevenage 1-1, and oxfcolu, who had the Burnley and Stevenage draws. They each also got the MK Dons outcome, to give them both a very good 7 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were NME_cufc and wessex_exile, who both got the Blackburn 1-1, and Tropical_Us, who had the Hull 2-1. They each also got three outcomes, to give them all a good 6 points.

Happy Cup The details for the Semi-finals of this competition will be out at the beginning of February, as the 4th Round of the FA Cup doesn't start until Friday 13th February.

In the Premier By having the Hull 2-1 spot-on concordman increases his lead by those 3 points, to give him a healthy 10 point advantage. Two outcomes for Sector4 was enough for him to remain second, but only on the most 3 pointer rule from Jorash63, after he got four outcomes. The decent week for blueeagle moved him up a couple of places to fourth, as thrillseeker and ghughes11 both drop a place, despite the latter having the Hull 2-1 spot-on. The top scoring performance from unitedwhites moved him up couple places, for the second week running, to seventh. His highest position since Week 11. Along with the very good week for RSCOSWORTH, they have each suddenly moved 10 points clear of the bottom three, after both having been in there only three weeks ago. Just one outcome for bwildered and Daniel doesn't help either to escape. Another solid week for Lewis_1, that included getting the Hull 2-1 spot-on, continues to give him hope of escaping, but he is still 19 points from safety, and with less than a 100 games left to the season, time is running out.

In Division One Just the two outcomes for noah4x4, but he still holds a 25 point lead over durham_exile in the other automatic spot. The good week for Tropical_Us keeps him in third. After having the Stevenage 1-1 spot-on, BFG moved up a couple of places to fourth. His highest position since Week 13, when he was third. Despite getting the Blackburn 1-1 spot-on, Blue4U2 drops a place to fifth on the most 3 pointer rule. The very good week for oxfcolu moved him up a couple of places into the final play-off place for the first time this season. Three outcomes for basher2010, and four outcomes for gerry_us leaves them both within one point of the play-offs in seventh and eighth. The good week for wessex_exile keeps him contention for a top six finish.

THE TABLES (188 out of 280 played)
(Tie-breaker: Most 3 pointers, and then the first to post)

Week 25 results

LEEDS UNITED 1 FULHAM 0

Lukas Nmecha came off the bench to score a 91st-minute winner as a dominant Leeds ended Fulham's six-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. 3 got this spot-on, and a further 12 had the outcome, all going for a 2-1 in what was equally the weeks most predicted score.

SUNDERLAND 2 CRYSTAL PALACE 1
Brian Brobbey scored a second-half winner as Sunderland recovered from a goal down and end a five-match winless run in the Premier League. A magnificent 7 had this spot-on, and another 10 got the outcome.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 0 PORTSMOUTH 1
Adrian Segecic's second-half strike was enough to help Portsmouth edge to victory. A sublime 5 got this spot-on, and a further 6 had the outcome.

STOKE CITY 0 QUEENS PARK RANGERS 0
Stoke passed up an opportunity to claw themselves back into the Championship play-off places as they were held to an uneventful bore draw. Nobody had this spot-on, and only unitedwhites and bwildered got the outcome. The other 22 predicted a win for Stoke.

WREXHAM 1 NORWICH CITY 2
Norwich's resurgence under Philippe Clement continued as they ended Wrexham's five-game winning run. Only blueeagle and BFG got this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome. 19 predicted a win for Wrexham.

BARNSLEY 2 BLACKPOOL 1
Veteran striker David McGoldrick ended his 16-game wait for a league goal with a double – including a 93rd minute winner – in Barnsley's win. A massive 12 had this spot-on, in what was the weeks other most predicted score, and another 3 got the outcome.

LUTON TOWN 2 LINCOLN CITY 2
Resurgent Luton hit back from 2-0 down to draw with second-placed Lincoln. Well done to oxfcolu for being the only one to get this spot-on, and 3 more had the outcome.

CRAWLEY TOWN 1 NOTTS COUNTY 2
Second-half goals from Jodi Jones and Alassana Jatta gave Notts County their first league win in five games as they beat 10-man Crawley. A great 8 had this spot-on, and a further 10 got the outcome.

GRIMSBY TOWN 1 BARNET 0
Grimsby maintained their winning start to the new year with a triumph over 10-man Barnet. 4 got this spot-on, and another 15 had the outcome.

SWINDON TOWN 2 SALFORD CITY 3
Kallum Cesay's winner completed a five-goal thriller to bring Salford level with Swindon on points. Nobody had this spot-on, and only mfb_cufc and NME_cufc got the outcome. 17 predicted a win for Swindon.

After the last two weeks had hardly produced a point, and it felt like the Happy League had gone into a winter break, it was good to get back on track in a big way this week. With an exceptional 42 spot-ons, in a weeks 189 total points, this was the second best week of the season so far. It also produced a unique week where every member got at least one 3 pointer. In fact thirteen managed to get at least two, with the top performance coming from concordman, who was the only one to get four, the wins for Sunderland, Portsmouth, Barnsley and Notts County, and the Leeds and Grimsby outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a magnificent 14 points. Three members did well to have three 3 pointers, with the best coming from BFG, who got the wins for Portsmouth, Norwich and Grimsby, and three outcomes to give him a superb 12 points. Also RSCOSWORTH, who had the wins for Portsmouth, Barnsley and Notts County, and oxfcolu, who got the wins for Leeds and Notts County and the Luton 2-2. They each also had two outcomes, to give them both an excellent 11 points. Best of those to get two 3 pointers were blueeagle who had the wins for Norwich and Barnsley, and noah4x4 who got the wins for Leeds and Barnsley. They each also had three outcomes, to give them both a marvellous 9 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were Sector4, who got the Sunderland 2-1, and unitedwhites, who had the Notts County 2-1. They each also got a good six outcomes, to give them both a marvellous 9 points.

In the Premier Plenty of points scored, but little change to overall positions. The top scoring performance from concordman enhanced his position at the top, to give him the biggest lead he has held this season, at a time when the pack were closing in. After a good week, Sector4 will be disappointed to fall further behind, but he remains second. A decent week for Jorash63, that included having the wins for Notts County and Grimsby spot-on, keeps him in contention in third. In fact the top seven places remained the same as last week. It was at the bottom where a significant change took place. The bottom three have remained the same for the last nine weeks, and RSCOSWORTH has been there since Week 2. 13 points in Week 22 moved him a lot closer to safety, and then another excellent one this week finally got him out of the relegation zone, as he moved up a couple of places. The marvellous week for unitedwhites also moved him up a couple of places, and out of the bottom three. Their places have been taken by bwildered and Daniel, who both drop into the relegation zone for the first time this season.

In Division One Plenty of points here as well, but again very little change from last week. A marvellous week for noah4x4 has reignited his chance of breaking the 3 pointers in a season record, and the magic 200 points still looks on with still over 100 games left to achieve it. With durham_exile and Tropical_Us both getting the wins for Sunderland and Barnsley spot-on, they remain second and third. Decent weeks for Blue4U2, having the wins for Portsmouth and Barnsley spot-on, and basher2010, another to get the wins Sunderland and Barnsley spot-on, moved them both up a place to fourth and fifth. The superb week for BFG moved him up a place, and back into the final play-off spot, he last held in Week 14. Despite having the Notts County 2-1 spot-on, gerry_us drops three to seventh. The excellent week for oxfcolu couldn't move him up, but more importantly he moves to within 3 points of the play-offs. A decent week for wessex_exile, that included having the wins for Sunderland and Barnsley spot-on, keeps him in contention for the play-offs.

PORTSMOUTH 1 ARSENAL 4

NORWICH CITY 5 WALSALL 1

WEST HAM UNITED 1 QUEENS PARK RANGERS 1

West Ham won 2-1 AET

Latest scores

concordman 10 Daniel 8
The Arsenal and Norwich outcomes each, as they both lose their full house with the West Ham 1-1. This means Man Utd must win 2-1 in the final game for Daniel to go through to the Semi-finals. Any other result, and it is concordman who goes through.

Sector4 7 BFG 6
Seven outcomes v six means BFG requires Man Utd to win 1-0 to go through. Any other result and it is Sector4 going through.
Edit. Brighton have scored, so Sector4 goes through.

Jorash63 8 Blue4U2 13
A great effort from Jorash63 in getting eight outcomes, and only missing a full house with the West Ham 1-1. But by having that West Ham 1-1 spot-on, Blue4U2 keeps his full house going, and has made it through to the Semi-finals

noah4x4 10 gerry_us 7
noah4x4 was another to lose his full house with West Ham 1-1, but he goes through to the Semi-finals, as they both have Man Utd to win in the final game.

A final update after the Man Utd v Brighton game has finished.
