Prediction league 22/23 round 46 - THE FINALE - Monday 8 May

[DangerousSausage]

After 45 rounds and so many twists and turns it's a wonder it hasn't got its own Netflix series, this is it - the final round. We're all battling for positions, but we still have two players in contention for this season's star prize (once I've found it down my sofa) and an eternal place in the prediction league hall of fame. The League Two fixtures below kick off at the frankly crazy time of 11.30am on 8 May, with the Championship following at 2.00pm. So get your predictions in before then, and remember your jokers

Full disclosure: the timing of this last round isn't great as I'm off to The Hague on holiday (no, I'm not being sent there for crimes to counting prediction league points). However, I will announce the winner on Monday at the very least, with the full results to follow ASAP.

Good luck everyone!

I know you're all booking your Wembley tickets right now, but there are more important issues at stake here - the final round of the prediction league. Send them in by 11.30am on Monday if you want them to count!

The rest of you will have to wait a few days for the final scores, but I promise I'll be on it soon!

Well done everyone! See you back for the Prediction League next season.

I am going to try to do more homework ahead of games, see if I can regain my crown.  I'm also hoping we can attract a few more players. It's a fun thing to do, nothing serious at all. So, why not see where you finish?

Congratulations to @ARLukomski on your victory!

@Dripsey3 for coming second, @magpiejue for coming in third.

Honourable thank you, to my wife @cheeky~k8 for seeing out my mum's predictions, it won't be the same without mum's jokes about her walking sticks or joking with DangerousSausage/other members.

Thank you, @DangerousSausage for doing this and for all the effort that goes into it.

[Dripsey3]

@ARLukomski Well done Sir. It was an epic battle and your victory was well deserved. 

@DangerousSausage Thanks for running the league and I hate to mention it, but I still haven't received my hen's tooth for last season's victory

[gtownjohnno]

Well done everybody..... Let's hope we are in League 2 next season and DS need not use the NL fixtures... 

[cheeky~k8]

Well done everyone!

My part in this was to complete the season for Grannypie and i'm kind of surprised how well my guessing went some weeks as i've not done it before, hence why i took on the role.

It won't be the same without her in it next season either.

Unfortunately, hens' teeth have proven unexpectedly difficult to come by, but I'm working on it. But not to fear @ARLukomski, there is a plentiful supply of hairy chips!

@cheeky~k8 it definitely won't be the same, but you taking over her predictions was a lovely gesture and you're very welcome to compete in your own right next season. You seemed to hit your stride towards the end! 

[super_ram]

Congratulations on winning The PON  Prediction League22/23@ARLukomski

Well done everyone who took part.

I echo the sentiments regarding my missus @GrannyPie.I especially miss the laughs we had when she asked my advice and then completely ignored it.So thanks for continuing her memory  @cheeky~k8

A big thank you to @DangerousSausage for organising The Prediction League and also for his humourous comments,the silly sausage.

You'd all better watch out next season ,though, now that the EFL has lifted its embargo and relaxed its restrictions.

Now for a break, well after Saturday anyway.
