I like enterprising people. However, when games are called off and that enterprising spirit extends to predicting games that aren't on the Prediction League coupon, it's one step too far. Further, five of the six predictions that were made this week that weren't on the coupon were wrong. All in all, it was a difficult week with the lowest scores since the unforgettable bad Week 8 (actually, I had forgotten it). 75% of predictors scored one or less this week with Arsenal's win over Leeds being one of the few safer bets. Amid all the gloom,
@seth plum,
@Seabros,
@PaddyP17,
@oohaahmortimer,
@No.1 in South London,
@ChicagoAddick and
@addix rose above everyone else to score a creditable four points.
As the Cups get down to the business end, there were some fascinating tussles. Shock of the round in the Prediction Cup was
@croydonaddick's 2-0 win away to high-flying
@Nicholas. In the all Premier League clash,
@StrikerFirmani won 3-0 away to
@Macronate to progress through the the Quarter Finals. In the more forgettable Johnstones Paint Prediction Cup,
@BertieB of the National League looks determined to hold on to the trophy after another 1-0 win over
@Webbja77 from the Premier League. In the same competition,
@flyingkiwiDK from League One earnt a replay against the Premier League opposition of
@Paddy Powell. Meanwhile, in the Prediction Knock Out Cup,
@Miserableoldgit and
@RedChaser continue their cat and mouse tactical predicting with a replay next weekend.
As usual, this week's scores are on this post, league tables on the next post and Cup scores and Cup replays on the third post.

out of interest, do u happen to know what the longest streak ever is? I'm not trying to get to it (i promise) just trying to avoid it @thai malaysia addick
I don't do Cafc games as i'm superstitious and know they will lose if i pick them (however i might change that if this form continues)
So i need to perform in the next week to avoid equalling this years record. I'm on it.
Pathetic display from me.
Operation Bexleyheath failed miserably.
Good luck @StrikerFirmani, hope you win it all.
Don't beat your self up. It was a difficult week, I and most have had a zero during the season. I was fortunate to get one result right. The postponements caught most of us out Saturday. The league title is still wide open even though Redlanered has decent lead.
