In the case of a tie, the cumulative score for rounds 3-6 inclusive will be used to determine the winner. Best of luck!

OD: Did you actually publish the individual points for each player for Round 3 as I've done a quick look back on the thread to that weekend (4th Jan) but can't see them?

In a nutshell, what are the cummulatives for the 4 players concerned please?

It's not been published so that people couldn't just copy their opponent's predictions on the basis that they would progress on superior countback score!

Here's the table from last weekend; GloverMart top scored this week with 11.

Did I miss the result of the FA Cup semi's or has it not been posted?

Sorry, it's been a busy week. Penalty shootouts all round in the FA Cup semis as both went to countback, mainly as nobody predicted the Wigan draw.

im 1 (45) London424 1 (68)
Devilstreak 1 (54) JwVw 1 (40)

So congratulations to our two finalists who will fight it out on 17 May:

Devilstreak v London424

I think I got 6 points at the weekend not 2?

My aplogies, you did. This will be corrected in next week's table, but for the record you're ahead of mickk in 9th place. It's always worth everyone checking I haven't made a mistake!

Thanks also to BCM for posting im's predictions whilst he has a touchline ban. He did phone them through to me from his seat in the director's box but I did not have time to post them.

OD, I know im as been banned from PH and I can't see his predictions this week, has he failed to get his predictions to you? Would be a shame if he hasn't predicted this late in the season.

I did prod him for his predictions but he was out doing something on the moors involving 5 sided stars , goats & virgins.

Sadly he never got back to me, he did say he was going to mail OD his predictions.

Im did predict, as below:

And here's the table. Not much movement this week, the second-worst of the season for scoring with no double figure scores.

Just 13 games to go now....

Edited by oxford drinker on Tuesday 6th May 13:42

[oxford drinker]

Here are the fixtures for the final day of the season. Like the real thing, the PH Predictathon is going down to the last day.

It has been suggested that the top 4 (nascarrules, im, JwVw and TJK) PM me their predictions to avoid anyone having to go first.... so could these four do this and I will post all 4 at once.

Best of luck to all, and thanks for playing this season. We're looking for a willing volunteer to carry this on next season!

Cardiff City v Chelsea
Fulham v Crystal Palace
Hull City v Everton
