As the organiser of the Prediction League and Cups, I have always thought it would be embarrassing if I actually won the League or one of the Cups. Having got to the 4th Round of the Prediction Cup for the first time, I was hoping that I could put up a decent performance but make a quiet exit as being in the quarter-finals or semi-finals would be, well, embarrassing. I'm a non-competitive, humble sort of chap. As I checked the scores, I noted that I had only scored one point. I checked the score of my opponent,
@Billyboy, and sure enough, my wish had come true as
@Billyboy had scored 2. No disgrace but a nice quiet exit. I don't want anyone on Charlton Life pointing the finger and saying that the Cup is a fix. I went to bed on Sunday feeling proud of getting through three rounds but without a hint of embarrassment. This morning, I ran my programs that produce the results and, to my astonishment, I noticed that I had a replay. After a few moments, I realised that I wasn't playing
@Billyboy; my opponent was
@Sillybilly. It was an easy mistake to make, but it means I have a replay and a chance to get through to the last eight. Get in there! Wembley, here I come. Let's get this Cup run back on the road and smash everyone and win that bloody Cup. 'Come on,
@thai malaysia addick', I can't stop thinking, "you can do this".
Back down to earth, the biggest shock of the 4th Round was the home defeat for the mighty
@GoOnYouHaddocks, who lost 4-3 at home to
@Big_Bob from League Two. What a result for
@Big_Bob!
@Webbja77, also from the Premier League, lost to lower opposition as
@Scott from League One won an exciting 5-4 encounter. In the Johnstones Paint Prediction Cup, the Premier League sides got even bumpier rides as
@johnnybev1987 and
@Charlton_Stu lost to National League opponents
@ChicagoAddick and
@rananegra, respectively. Replays take place this coming weekend with the draw next week.
In the League,
@No.1 in South London and
@Nicholas were this week's superstars scoring an excellent 7 points.
@Chippycafc and
@bellz2002 were not far behind with a highly commendable 6 points. The 7-point haul puts
@Nicholas into third place in the Premier League, although catching
@GoOnYouHaddocks will take some doing. As for our two streakers, they are streaking on with
@RaplhMilne continuing a run of 8 weeks, scoring 2+. As for the other streak, I'll keep that one quiet rather than upset
@NorthheathAddick any more.
As usual, there are three posts.
On this post, the mini-statbank and this week's scores. On
the next post, Cup scores and replays and on
the third post, the League tables.

And, the league tables.....
Only a couple of weeks ago we were top half of the prem looking at Europe.
Lads need to buck their ideas up
Highest ranked tie left in the competition should be on tele.
Oh well still in a cup competition for now and home advantage this time, is that a thing I wonder.
delighted with my victory over the runaway leader, and the lads are starting to believe.
Somebody investigate GoOnYouHaddocks for FFP (Foreknowledge [of results for] Future Predicting)...
