I'm away at Solihull Beer Festival from this afternoon so there will be no chasing of late predictors etc this week. Please remember to post your predictions by midnight tonight. Will be back Sunday with a scores update!

[oxford drinker]

Well, what a turnaround. From last week's 'nul points', Keyser has joint top score this week with Streetm89, 14 points, which moves them both up the table. BrabusMog is the other big mover, up 11, with yours truly surging to the top spot!

It's an international break this week, which means no matches for a fortnight, so you can bask in the glory of this table for 14 days, just like you can (as a WBA fan) in the Premier League table itself!

Well, a record points tally this week (336), so here's the updated table. Congratulations to the big winners this week, BCM and TJK, both with 19 taking them to the top of the table. We've had six different people topping the table in the past 6 weeks, so can BCM buck the trend and stay there? Well done too to nicko-12345 and streetm89 who's big scores have punted them up the table. Oh,and Lawro too

The jiffle king said:

Wow!! Lots of big scores and gutting when you score 10 points and lose places.

The average score was 10.5 this week, so some people will have gone down the table when scoring 10 - a bit of a blip in the stats. So thouse of us who scored 6 suffered this week The average weekly score so far is 7.74.
