Right here we go, with the wrap-up for the 2024-25 CL Prediction League season. The biggest surprise for me was that early in the season, Manchester United losing to Notts Forest was the season's biggest Graveyard Prediction of the Season. Last season, it was Charlton drawing with Cray Valley Paper Mills. Congratulations to the many competitors who have deservedly gained their name check for their effort. Enough said. Enjoy (or feel thoroughly dispirited).

Graveyard Prediction of the Season
Manchester United 2 Nottingham Forest 3 (0 correct scores, 0 correct results, 73 wrong predictions)
Funniest predictions (no names – you know who you are) i
• Games that didn’t exist
• Forgetting to put a score
• Only giving the score for one team
• Only giving the score for one team and claiming that would have posted the correct result
• Posting twice with different scores/predictions
• Spelling Charlton wrongly
• Spelling Liverpool as Liroopl
• Getting excited about a successful prediction until realising goals in extra time don’t count
• Predicting scores wrongly for games that have already been played

incredible, incredible work @thai malaysia addick
thank you for the time and effort required to keep this going
I’d be proud of my max score in week 9, except if people remember I simply followed the AI recommendations that week!
Thanks, as always, for all your hard work, @thai malaysia addick . Absolutely fascinating stats to mull over during the course of the next couple of months or so before we start all over again!
Well done TMA for organising and for winning.
Thanks again for all the effort
