Week Five Review

The Fights

Only three fights this week, Karl Place's opponent dropped out late on, adding to Danny Williams' withdrawal earlier in the week. In the fights that did happen, Jason Booth learned the lesson that you can't go on for ever, the younger Scott Quigg really did a job on him and his career looks to be over, certainly at super bantamweight. It comes to us all eventually. In the other fights, Donaire earned a shut-out 3 x 120-108 unanimous decision, confirming his lofty P4P ranking, and Marco Huck KO'ed his opponent in 6.

The Premiership

A fantastic week for compelling and rich, who managed to get all three fights spot on, earning himself 12 points, a big jump up the table to finish in 4th place, and of course a Predictor of the Week award.

It was the same old story for Knowsit17, the Prediction League's perennial choker once again failing to hold on to a lead when it matters, a measly 4 points drops him to a 3rd place finish. Second place went to sodhat, a case of ever the bridesmaid never the bride for our Prediction Cup runner-up.

Top of the tree though is Eyetoldyouso, our new champion claiming his title with an impressive 10 point haul. I am sure you will all join me in congratulating our new champ.



It's not all happiness and joy though, as alma, Michaels, ian_jamsie, JJJohnson and, believe it or not, Union Cane have all been relegated from the Premiership.

The Championship

School Project becomes the first Championship Champion, a nine point haul this week propelling him to the top. Dass, Jdandfries and 88Chris05 will all join him in next season's Premiership, however there is drama surrounding the fifth promotion place, with 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude tied on 29 points. They can't be separated by the Highest Weekly Score criteria, both having high-scores of 9 points, so a play-off will be required. Details below...

*Update*

The Play-Offs couldn't separate 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude, so given the exceptional circumstances, I have decided that Season 3's Premiership will have 21 places, they are both promoted.

Season 3 will begin next week.

Thanks for this Union. I think a break is well deserved

That's a strange stance coming from the slug who was in 100% agreement with me on Friday. I'd hazard a guess it will be very similar to the premiership but will let you know..

I just tend to judge how the argument is stacked up and then change sides whomever is winning it.

You really don't have to be so rude to me though.

Sensitive soul aren't you. Have you seen Schlongstack's Stone Roses update. I think a few of us are going are to try for the Barcelona tickets.

Joint 34th in the championship will do for me

You couldn't handle my wife. 4'9" of fury. Like a black hole; not big, but devastating!

Nice try mate, but the Play-Off fights are just for 6oldenbhoy and ermietrude, to determine who get the last spot in the next Prediction Premiership.

Wow, avoided the drop by the skin of my teeth!

Can we have a deadline next season to post our results...im sure I am not the only one to notice how late eyetoldyouso posts...personally I would disqualify him and make sodhat champion.

As gracious in defeat as in victory PBF

rowley wrote:As gracious in defeat as in victory PBF

Blatant gamesmanship from the new so called champion...how can someone be allowed to post so close to a fight?

Thanks for the good work, Union. Enjoyed the prediction league a lot (even better knowing that I've won promotion!) and wish I'd been involved from the start!

When is the next season upon us?

I'm having a week off (I need it...), Season 3 will start next Monday with November 5th's fights.

Another one of Union's favourites.......

Nice to see union continue his stunning run of 1, 2, 1 and 2 in four weeks...I nearly overtook coxy as well.

That just so happens to be my birthday. Genuinely, it is.

Not everything has to be about you Tonka.

Michaels, Sean wrote:Not everything has to be about you Tonka.

I can't help the day I was born. How was I to know Union was taking a breather.

Are you just going to follow me around making barbed comments?

Probably. Is still feel quite bitter about the way I was treated on Friday.

Didn't follow it too closely Sean as I was securing Stone Roses tickets, I got them by the way, but from what I saw you threw the toys out of the pram.

rowley wrote:Didn't follow it too closely Sean as I was securing Stone Roses tickets, I got them by the way, but from what I saw you threw the toys out of the pram.

Obviously not. Nothing short of scandalous to be instated as the league leader then have that taken away. It was a dark day in the history of the UCPL.

Sorry just got back from a weekend away. I'm guessing by not entering my predicitons on time I've forfeited.

If not, I'll enter the rest of the predictions tomorrow morning.

your highest weekly score is lower than your oppenent, thats why im fouth and not third. sods law that the only person who scored higher points in a week is the person i draw with

The Porpramook result is already in but you can still predict the others.

Has to be some sort of record that Sean went from 'leader' to relegated inside about 4 days.

Thankfully for the integrity of this league our esteemed Sven Goran Eric made the right call by listening to the voice of reason - me.

Sean should've maybe kept his toys in his pram for a little bit longer

It is interesting that we had eight 'double figures' scores during the Premiership season, and only one in the Championship, it emphasises the fact that there is skill involved and it is not just guesswork.

Well I think it's interesting.

I forfeited my claim to the title to save Union. I'm content with being the 'people's champion'.

Union Cane wrote:

What is equally as interesting, is the fact that you finished on the same points as JJJohnson, despite the fact he couldn't even be bothered to post predictions for the last two weeks.

Also, the same amount of points over 5 weeks that sodhat got in the first.

Does anybody get the Bupa advert at the top of the screen.

I've just noticed that the barrister (legal bloke with the wig on) looks remarkably like Adam Booth.

Well spotted, Scotty.

If I were a lesser man I would claim to have done it deliberately, but I'm not, and I didn't.

No, but I am being invited to attend Northumbria University. I may well take them up on the offer.

You only need to spell your name correctly to get in these days, don't you?

You managed to get a degree, so I am sure I can muddle through.

I'm an intellectual heavyweight though Tina. Have a degree from a former poly, anyone who has spent any time on here knows that is the true mark of oa persons erudition.

Tonker might benefit from the homo quota?

You still trying to groom me , Michaels? Did you get the cold shoulder from Fists?

We need none of those euphamisms round here.

Manage to capture Booth moonlighting on the Bupa ad.....

Nice work Sean.
