The Prediction League is a marathon and not a sprint. Over 38 weeks, there is no doubt that
@GoOnYouHaddocks fully deserves to win this year's title, which was achieved by a massive 11-point margin. Worthy runners-up were
@Paddy Powell and
@Charlton_Stu, while
@meldrew66 will be predicting next season in the European Prediction Champions League by finishing fourth. But let's not forget our divisional winners for 2022-23. The Championship was claimed by
@MrLargo, the League One title went to
@paulie8290, and the League Two title was won by
@T_C_E. As for the non-Leaguers, the National League title was won by
@walshiesleftfoot, presumably with the help of two rich Americans, while Hopeful Harriet won the National South.
@cafc375, whose fans are hoping a takeover goes ahead soon, finished in the same position as Charlton. Credit to
@addix, who maintained a 10-week run of scoring 2+ up to the end of the season.
As for Week 38, there were three joint top scorers as
@Killarahales,
@barstool and
@addix picked up 5 points in a tricky week with some odd scores (don't Millwall fans just know it?).
@Nicholas ended the season by getting the Prediction of the Week - no extra points but plenty of glory for that. However, for the first time, I've managed to get the Worst of the Prediction of the week, so I'll say no more about that.
Thanks to everyone who took part this season. The Prediction League Mega Statbank will follow in a few days. After that,
@paulbaconsarnie and I will be enjoying our holidays in the sun, paid for, of course, by the vast profits that come from running the Prediction League and Beat the Bookie.

Finished on a good run to just scrape into the Premier League.
Thanks yet again @thai malaysia addick for running this comp. Always good to read your summary of the pervious week's efforts even if it hasn't been great from a personal perspective!
What a pathetic season, ending with a whimper. I'll have to do better next season, especially as my budget has been increased.
My position at the club is very tenuous, the board said if we finished in league 1 I would be sacked, however as it was only goal difference and we lifted the title there is hope I may keep my job, board meeting is set for tomorrow apparently 🤞
My position shows 7th so missed out on the Play-offs by a whisker in League 1.
Many thanks to @thai malaysia addick for your algorithm and analysis over a long season and disappointing to see some throw the towel in early doors.
