2nd May 2026

So, we pick five games – usually from the top five English Football Leagues (though that does change) and we want you to tell us what you predict the score to be. (ANY CUP/TROPHY Games' score will be counted after 90 minutes (not sure which go to extra time these days!)*

SCORING

10 points for exact score
5 points for correct result
3 points for correct away result
1 point for correct home result

*Should You forget to do the predictions then I will give each game a 0-0 score.


THIS WEEKS GAMES


Arsenal v Fulham
Derby County v Sheffield United
Reading v Blackpool
Oldham Athletic v Accrington Stanley
South Shields v Buxton (National League Play-Off Semi)

LINDUM is still sitting pretty at the top with MILLIE on his tail in 2nd place.
MILLER4LIFE went up one place to 3rd while I, CAZ, moved into the 700's and went up two places to 5th.
Also moving into the 700's we have SIXPENCE, MIKE and JONALYN.
DIGGER moved into the 600's and ASH is now in treble figures!

Well Done All!

Thanks to everyone for having a go!
