Week 17 was a tough week as there were a few unexpected scores in a week where there were few easy predictions. No one got two scores exactly right, but, fanfare of trumpets, as
@Chef_addick was Masterchef champion by getting all three scores exactly right. Not only were all three predictions correct, but it was the final post on the thread at Sunday lunchtime that got the big 14-point score. I have this image of
@Chef_addick looking through all the other predictions and thinking "they are all wrong, this is what will happen". I hope
@Chef_addick put a shilling or two on those scores at the bookies, though I somewhat doubt it, but the glory of rising from the National League to the Championship must have been a truly Macauley Bonne moment.
Only 34 competitors managed to score 2 or more this week. Despite previous advice, predicting Charlton, Millwall or Palace results seems to scupper any rationality about the final outcome of the game. Bizarrely, of the 20 people who predicted the score of the Charlton v Hull game, no one predicted a draw, yet there was an even split between the optimists who expected three points (and were nearly right) and the pessimists. Only 2 of 29 predictors expected Millwall to get any change out of Derby and Palace left 18 of the 23 punters disappointed. Graveyard prediction of the week though goes to Notts Forest v Sheffield Wednesday. Not only did all 24 competitors fail to foresee a Wednesday win but Wednesday won by a massive 4-0 margin.
Week 18 will be the last week for qualification for the Prediction Knock Out Cup which starts in January.
@thai malaysia addick will be putting on his red garb and white beard in true Santa style for a special 'present' for the week 18 predictions when they are announced tomorrow.

Charlton 2 Hull 1
3 points in the bag .
But oh no in true Charlton fashion I'm robbed again.
No studying of form or other predictions I'm afraid, more of a "shit I've not done any predictions and the games kick off on half hour" and quickly put the scores down without thinking, this will now be my new tactic for the rest of the season!
